Hi everyone, It's my first time buying the aftermarket rim. I was searching for more info online, but without success. I am mainly looking for two things to make sure it will bolt on the car safely.
1. Is this rim hub-centric or nut-centric? The inner bore size of this rim is rather strange, and I can't find a proper size hub-centric ring for it.
2. Is it safe to use the original Lexus wheel nut? Or should I rather buy some aftermarket nuts instead? What brand/size should I looking for? I've noticed that some of you have had Wald rims on your LS430s. I would be extremely grateful if anyone could share their experiences or answer my question regarding this!
Thanks in advance! I can't wait to fit it on my car! (It's currently undergoing a full rebuild.)
Just use calipers to measure the inside hub of the wheel and order some hub centric rings. Factory Lexus size is 60.1mm so that's your inner diameter.
Don't use factory lugs, they won't fit, seat properly. You need cone seat lug nuts. Make sure they are Lexus size M12-1.50
Did you test fit the wheels before refinishing them? As they might not even clear your front calipers and you need spacers.
Hi, thanks for your reply!
I did test fit it on the front, and it does clear the front calipers. For the hub centric ring, the closest I can find is with 60.1 inner diameter and 71 outer diameter, and the rim have 73 center bore (I bought the one with 71 outer diameter, but it does not fit snugly inside the rim

you can order them online. I have aluminum hubcentric rings that are 60.1 mm - 73 mm
