Default New Guy question - Wheel suggestions for LS430

Hi,

I am new to Club Lexus. Just acquired an immaculate Lexus LS430 Luxury Package. Its white. I would like to switch the wheels to something cool.

Currently it has the originals:

Brand Factory OEM
Material Aluminum
Size 17" x 7.5"
Diameter 17"
Width 7.5"
Lugs 5
Bolt Pattern114.3mm
Offset N/A
Style 6 Spoke
Part Number 4261150370, 4261150380, 4261150390


Anyway, I am looking for suggestions from you guys...
  • Would like to have 19"
  • Would like to not have staggered
  • Would like to not have to wait 6 weeks for wheels to be shipped from Japan
  • Really like the something like the Work Lanvec LD1

last question, Also like the 5 Spoke "18" CHROME LEXUS RX350 RX450H 2010-2015 OEM Factory Original Wheel Rim 74253" wheels that are on the RX 350 would that work on my LS430

Thanks much for any responses

Welcome to Club Lexus and congrats on the LS! There are many wheels available. The picture thread and post pics of your 20's are good places to start for wheel combos.

RX 350 wheels will need spacers in front to clear the brake calipers.

Assuming originals are painted and not chromed I may be a buyer if they are immaculate and free of curb damage 😉

I had Lexus RC350 F Sport RWD wheels on mine, looked pretty good and fit without spacers or any other mods. They are 19" wheels as well.

@mcgrath64

Welcome to the community.

Congrats on the new ride, sounds like a great find. Just to fill in the blank I show your stock wheels have a +45MM offset.

19's in a non-staggered option are certainly doable for your vehicle. There are plenty of options that would be available in the states so shipping time shouldn't take to long.

@JffGRY706 Thank you for the shout out!

Wheels are a personal choice and as others point out there are many (almost too many) options to assess. Fit and Fitment are especially important to consider with caliper clearance, hub sizes, spacers, tire choices, plus many others factors to chase.

After having the OEM wheels on the ‘01, spent many hours before narrowing down to the choices that were made. I suggest you look at the fit industries site and at least look at their gallery for ideas. They have some very informative You Tube videos as well.

https://www.fitmentindustries.com/se...offset-gallery

Once you narrow down your choices, then go shopping for availability, price, and a trusted installer who can assist and rectify any challenges that arise when straying from OEM wheels with a new size that was not offered on our cars. Take your time; don’t be in a great hurry.

Hi

i have 2005 a Lexus ls430 with 5 spoke 18 inch wheels and Michelin pilot sport a/s3 245/45 ZR18 tires with 6000 miles on them.
I’m looking for a softer ride than what I have.

You can text or call me at 1 (858) 262-9011 to talk about it.
