Default Rx330 wheels

I have searched every way and can't find out if the later model 18x7 RX330 wheels will look ok on a 2004 LS430. The offset is 35mm, may need a 10mm spacer. The factory LS430 has 18x7.5, 45mm offset. I have factory 17's and want to upgrade.

Thanks for your time.

Personally I would go with something that is wider if I went larger. I know it is only an inch, but 18X8 ( Like the GS460/430/350 18's) would grip the road a little better and you would not have to worry about spacers.

I would assume they would look somewhat like 06+ GS wheels would look on an LS. Why not get those instead? They are 18x8 (an inch wider) and they clear without a spacer. I personally think they would both look good, but prefer the wider wheel

Thanks for the input. I just found a good buy on a set so was curious. I will stick with 18x8 per your recommendations.

Here is a Cellshot from my Samsung Epix that I took in November. I'll get better pictures when I buy a new camera.
