I just became the proud owner of a 1993 LS400 with 80,000 miles. The car is in excellent condition and I'm planning on using it for my daily driver for years to come.

That brings me to my question: I plan on buying a set of winter tires, and I'd like to buy an inexpensive set of wheels to have them mounted on. I've heard that the LS400's have very large brake calipers so not just any old 16" rim will fit. OEM wheel measurements are 16x7 5 lug on 4.5" and I measured a 41.25 mm offset, does this sound correct?

I've heard some guys run the 16" Supra wheels as winter wheels because they are a perfect fit and pretty easy to come by on craigslist for cheap. I found a set for $150 pretty close to where I live that seems like a good option. What are other popular winter wheel setups that wont break the bank? Should I just find an old set of LS wheels? Were the stock wheel measurements the same for all 90-00 LS400s?

 

only 95-up cars have the larger, fixed block calipers. 90-94 cars have small, slide type calipers. you'll be fine running any old wheel as long as the offset is correct for rear wheel drive cars. supra wheels will fit.

 

Tirerack has some cheapy wheels take a look.
