Default 2004 LS430 - 16 in wheels

Please pardon me if this question has been answered before.

Will 16 inch wheels fit a 2004+ LS430? I have a set of aftermarket 16in wheels mounted on Blizzaks. The bolt pattern is correct, but the offset is unknown.

I know pre 2004 LS430s came with 16 inch wheels from the factory, but I am not sure if the brake caliper/rotor dimensions changed with the refresh in 2004. I've read that the OEM 16 inchers from pre 2004 models still fit the 2004+ models.

Worse comes to worst, I can try swapping the wheels on in my garage but if this is an obvious no, that would save me some trouble.

Thanks!

I think it shouold fit as long as long as the bolt pattern is the same. If these are after market rims, then the offset is something to check just to make sure it did not come off a funky car with tires sticking way out pass the fenders. Best to test fit to make sure. My 2001 LS430 came stock with 16"s and the ride was very smooth compared to the 19"s Walds I have on now. I chose the looks and gave up my pillow soft confort ride for that swap which it's still not bad at all and just a bit louder. Happy Holidays.

Welocme-

If the wheels are not high disk for brake clearance, you'll probably find you need spacers. If the calipers and rotor are stock, wheels from the 95+ LS400 will fit your 430. If this application works on the LS400+ you are in good shape. Also depending on wheel, if not specific for Toyota/Lexus, you may need a hub-centric ring.

Can't answer anything except that 2001-2003 LS430 16" rims do fit on the 2004-2006 LS430s. I have the 2001 16" rims with winter (Blizzak) on them and they install fine with nothing modified.

yes, the Lexus LS 16 inch wheels will fit, but 16" Lexus wheels from cars other than the LS series will NOT fit.

Some aftermarket 17s will fit, others will NOT fit.

Big brakes are the issue, along with clearance allowed for on the inside of the different wheels.
