Default IS350 Wheels

I have always liked the look of the lexus oem isp mode wheels. The question is they are 18" and the back spacing is very close to my oem 17" ls430 chrome wheels. Has anyone ever put an oem is250 or 350 wheel on a ls430. on lextasy.com they have a wheel section and says the stock 18" is250 wheels fit an ls430. Is this accurate.

the 04 + has factory 18's, so I dont' think it will be an issue. I have never seen IS*50 wheels on an LS430

18" x 8" 45mm offset 06+ SC430 wheels are the same spec...but they hit the front brake caliper

I have a 2001 LS and put the ISP mode wheels running on it now. I LOVE the look of the car. Much better than the stock 16s I had previously. Spacing and fitment is fine. Only advice I'd give is to get appropriate tires if you have the staggered setup.

No because Standard C-Class wheels are ugly as ****.

So if you're going to judge like that... you would also be saying it would be foolish to put the IS-F wheels on the car as well? After all, it is the lowest class Lexus. Personally if the rims look good on it, then why not? They are made by the same manufacturer, just because they get put on the IS350 doesn't mean it'll degrade the LS430. I've also though about putting GS460 wheels on it as well.

IMHO, just because a wheel comes off a certain vehicle shouldn't determine the reason why you choose to buy it.

well we all know C63 wheels are bad-*** also, but I wasn't referring to the AMG's or the "F" line cars. Anyhow, I was just expressing my opinion.

compare to these, thing about the wheels coming off smaller cars is that they aren't wide enough for the larger cars.

technically they are bigger, the 18's on an ls aren't staggered and are only running 245's and on an is are staggered 235's in the front and 255's on the rear..

Well they are wider than the LS430 Rims.

LS430 Spec. 18X7.5

IS350 SPec 18X8 front and 18X8.5 rear I'd want two sets of rear so i could rotate them.
