Default will these fit the LS430 ?

Will the 17 inch - 2004 OEM Lexus GX470 wheels fit my LS430's big front calipers ?

If they do, I am going to pick up a set for the winter .... anyone know ?

It's not probably... it's a definite not. 6 lugs to 5 lugs, won't fit. For reference, the SC430 wheels won't even fit the LS430's. The LS430's had some crazy wheels and calipers.

How about Enkei RPF1 in 17x8, et 35 ?

I am not finding any nice used wheels for my LS
Now I know why you have to spend $ 2,000 and up for new wheels ....

Use the "see it on your car" feature on www.tirerack.com and look carefully at the center hub. The LS has large hubs and most Enkei wheels would not fully cover the (IMO ugly) hub.

The reason the rear hub is so large is because of the drum e-brake that is integrated into the rear disk. Most wheel hubs are the same so I very very highly doubt that there will be a wheel whose hub will match the one on the LS.

Now, the RPF1 are not the sort of wheels that one puts on a luxury sedan. They will look tacky and out-of-place. Sure, that width and offset will clear the large calipers of the LS but as far as looking good, that's your call.

And you don't have to spend upwards of $2,000 for a set of wheels. My Avant Garde 19"s cost less then half that shipped to my house brand new from the forum vendor.

Here's a thread for reference:

I found a set of 06 GS300 AWD 10 spoke wheels that fit last night for my 01 LS430 that cleared the calipers.

How about '02 LS 17" on an '04 LS? Any changes from those years that will cause issues?

All the wheels across the ls430 years are interchangeable. I have '02 16" on my '04 now.I had cap off when I took to Costco and tech was like... let me guess Benz with 215blah blah...and I told him close, but it's from a Lexus.

Data one of our member's compiled this list and it is applicable to the 430's:

-OEM Lexus wheels that fit 95-00 (5x114.3, 60.1mm hub)
95-00 LS400
01-06 LS430
06-11 ISX50
06-07 GS430
07-11 GS460
LS460 wheels do not fit They are 5x120 and will need an adapter.
