LS430 on 2013+ GS standard 17" nine-spoke alloy wheels
LS430 on 2013+ GS standard 17" nine-spoke alloy wheels. Plus a close up photo of the front brake caliper clearance. It's close, but it's about the same clearance as the stock 16".

That looks fantastic. I managed to locate one new takeoff, looking for three more of those for mine. Looks very European and brings it up to date. The curves also work with the car. I don't like the previous GS wheels on those, it looks like wagon wheels, too straight, but that's excellent.
The SC 430 wheels will require a 15mm spacer. The back is pretty sunk so a 25-30mm spacer for the rears to balance out.
I always like the 5 spokes SC430 wheels (I used to own SC430). Beside needing spacer in the front and rear, is there any concern if I install the SC 430 wheels since LS is a bigger and heavier car? Can you recommend any brand for spacer?
My 05 has factory 18" wheels, chrome. My tire pressures are as reliable as sunup, no air loss, none nada.
My old 99 GS also had chrome wheels. Back then dealers would have the factory rims chromed at a local plating shop and add a grand or two to the sticker for chrome wheels.
My point? We had constant pressure loss with the dealer chromed wheels on the GS. I finally got the dealer to have the rims redone on their dime. As I recall that did resolve the issue. No peeling or damage visible externally. I think wet air causes issues with the plating internally.
So just to be clear, the 06 Gs300 wheels will fit my 04 Ls430 without issues or need of spacers? Thank you.
