Default Will RX Rims Ft an LS

I have seen 18 x 7 Lexus rims for sale from a 09 rx. She told me they cost 3200 bucks for 4 rims. Will they fit my 04 LS, I know the speedo will be off up or down how much if they work? Thanks Warm

I know the 16x7 rims on my 2001 RX FWD would fit the rear on my 2004 LS430 but would not clear the brake calipers on the front. The issue is the distance from the mounting flange of the rim to the inside surface of the spokes...you need about 1.5" (about 38-40mm). This is different than off-set.

I have been told that only Lexus LS wheels will fit the LS because of the large front brakes.

In theory they will fit assuming they clear the brakes. Speedo won't be off if you are running the correct tire size. The LS430 comes with 18s as well.
