Default RX350 wheels on LS430? Fit?

I am curious to know if any of you have used a set of RX350 wheels on your LS430. Any pics?

What year RX 350 wheels? It will require a 15mm spacer to clear the front calipers in most instances.

Most RX wheels are +30 +35mm offset these will not fit the LS430 you need +40mm offset to clear the calipers.

Dunno about you guys but I don't like the idea of spacers (I always consider the weakest link). Heck it's tempting but I don't even want LS430 18" replica rims--I think the JWL stamp is fake.

It just depends on the spacer style used and how it is installed. If you get a bolt on spacer, those are usually safe as long as your torque it to spec and periodically check it. I was looking at the Project Kics spacers from YAJ for the longest time as to me, those and H&R are the best quality spacers... I ended up not being able to justify the cost for a small cosmetic gain.
