Default LX470 Rims

Was wondering if anyone has thought about putting the LX470 rims on their SC's. Make them low-pros. My buddy brought the point up a few nights ago, was wondering if anyone had any thoughts on it, thanks.

Interesting question. If it was up to some all SC's would all look alike anyway what do LX470 rims look like? Also what are the specs?

Bolt pattern is way to big on the LX470 plus the size of the hub... AHahha, would look pretty buff though and would definetly clear Big brake upgrades. You'd be better off getting the giant infiniti suv rims out there... - Bryan

Yikes. That is a no go.

They probably weigh an ungodly amount to support that beast of an SUV as well. I think this is an idea that would not be worth it.

The wheels should not fit the SC according to the specs on the LX:

Size: 18" x 8" 60mm offset
Bolt Pattern: 5 x 150

SC spec is 5x114.3 Bolt Pattern.

You might be able to find or make an adapter though.

Putting alternative Lexus rims on an SC has now officially jumped the shark.

LC/LX470 is a five bolt, but it's waaaaaaaaaay too big for the SC. The only thing that shares a lug pattern with a 100 series (LC/LX470) is the '07 and up Tundra.

Here's some ***** out pictures of '07 Tundra Limited 20"s on my Land Cruiser.

Way too big, and probably too heavy. Try looking into some later model GS wheels.

Wow, never seen 5-lug LandCruisers.

All the ones here in Oz are 6-lug.
