Default A few wheel questions.....

My car: 2011 LS460, AWD, SWB

A friend is selling these wheels (taken from his original invoice)....

2 - Wald M11C 20x8.5 et33 5/120
2 - Wald M11C 20x9.5 et35 5/120

1) Will these wheels work for my AWD car? I thought given AWD, you wanted the exact same wheel and tire size on all 4 corners.

2) Will running these wheels void my extended CPO warranty?

3) They are a little over 2 years old, and in good condition. What are they worth? He paid about $1,000 per wheel....but will give me a great deal, but neither he nor I know what market would be.

4) Depending on all the above, and if I buy them, what's the best tire size to run...I want zero rubbing, and care more about comfort than look.

Thanks!

1) Yes. There are plenty of LS600 owners here running staggered wheels and I have yet to hear of any of them running into issues because of it.
2) No.
3) I've seen them for around ~$2,000 on the used market with tires.
4) Guess this will depend if you plan on lowering your car at all - but 245/35 and 275/30 should fit no problem.

Thanks! Really appreciate it.

Is the "et" listed in the original post the offset? Does that appear okay too?

No plans to lower my car. I am 100% stock, and don't have even have the stock air system.

Thanks again.

Correct, et = offset and that number is fine. If you don't plan on lowering your car you're def. fine.

Show us some pictures after you mount them up!

Tires will need to be 245/295 or 255/305 if staggered.

I'm looking no rubbing and max comfort (ie., soft ride and soft sound). I don't mind sacrificing looks and going with a taller treadwall (as long as it doesn't rub).

Given what I'm looking for, and my wheel sizes (see above), you recommend....

245/40 for the fronts
275/35 for the rears

Right?
