Default sc430 wheels on 02 LS?

Does anyone know if 18" OEM SC430 wheels would fit on my 02 LS? The tire size is 245/40/18. Obviously don't know much about wheels, but these look nice and wanted to know if they would fit.

Any help would be great.

nop, it won't clear the brakes on the ls430. ls430 has bigger brakes setup and require different wheels

maybe you can look at the 18" wheels for the new 06 gs430

Thanks for the info. I am trying to get some wheels to update the look, and was hoping to get something low-key but "nice". A parts dealer is trying to hook me up with some oem 05 18" sport wheels at a good price ($1000). Just getting a little impatient.

Know of any good deals on polished 18" or 19" set-ups?

Any info woul dbe great.

There are a couple of very good deals going on right now by one of our approved vendors (D2-Autosport).

SC430 wheels are 18"x8" with a 50mm offset. You need a 45mm offset to make it work. I suspect that a 5mm spacer will remedy this

Wow --how do you know that kind of info ...;-)

Can anyone recommend a web site to view aftermarket wheels on image of car --and -- have the info on the offset required - vs - the offset the supplier has for the rims>? Do aftermarket wheel suppliers offer rims in varying offsets?

Thanks

Tire Rack does that - they only give you the list of wheels with appropriate offsets that will fit your car.

Downside is the imaging isn't all that great and the wheel fittment they recommend is pretty conservative if you want an 'aggressive' look with the wheels pushed out more flush.
