Will the 17" gs-350 wheels fit on an ls-430?, will they clear the brakes?.

the 2nd Gen GS rims won't fit for sure. I know the 18' 3GS rims fit on LS430, but not sure about 17' GS one. But from the look of it, it won't clear the BBK.

No one is 100% sure, but when sizing tires/wheels etc. I used TireRack's online match to see if the same wheel shows up for both cars. So, just search for some similiar wheel 17" that shows for the GS350 and see if those same 17" are option for the LS430.

YES the GS350 17" wheels will fit on an LS430. I had them on mine for about a year until I upgraded the the 18s. They will clear the calipers fine and will not compromise the ride quality. I am 100% sure they will fit.
