16" wheels on 2004 LS430?
Winter is nearly here. I have a set of 16" snows from another car I want to put on the LS. I THINK the 16" wheels from 1998+ up LS400/LS430 will fit (correct me if I'm wrong).
Any idea if there are other OEM Toyota/Lexus wheels that will fit?

Yes, the 16s from the older LS will fit. There are other Lexus wheels that will fit too. Test fit anything before you buy ON TO THE FRONT hub. The larger front brake caliper is usually the thing that prevent wheels from fitting the LS.

For my 01 LS 430, you need a 16 x 7 bolt pattern and enough clearance for the brake caliper + balance weights.
So look for 16 x 7 and then you will have to do some measuring on the calipers unless they come from a similar year. I went from 01 to 02 style for a cheap upgrade.
I am sticking with the 16" with Toyo Celsius tires. They are an all season winter tire. We have crappy winters.

1995-up LS 16" wheels should fit. A problem with 16" wheels on the 1995-2006 LS is that there isn't enough room between the brake calipers at the front and the wheel rim to use hidden stick-on wheel weights. If you get 16" wheels that cannot accept hammer-on weights on the rim lips, you may not be able to do a dynamic balance and may have to settle for a less than desirable static balance. Been there.
