Default GS400 wheels on LS400

First do they fit?

I was wondering if anyone had pics of the 17" GS400 5star wheels on a 2nd gen LS400.

Thanks

Mostly all stock Lexus wheels have the same bolt pattern.
The GS and LS wheels are interchangable.

The GS has smaller calipers then the 2nd generation LS so I don't think they will fit even if it has the same offset bolt pattern.

Good call SharpLS, the 2nd gen LS has 4 pistons caliper and the GS has 2 pistons.

So would the 17" GS wheels work on a 1st gen LS400?

Yes,but I don't know about the offset, but the 17"GS wheels will clear the front calipers.

Well I want to put some bigger lexus brand wheels on my ride, or non-lexus aftermarket ones that don't look too flashy. I want 17 or 18 at the max. What do you recommend?
