Default wheels/tire swap question

I wanted to know if the 17inch sports oem wheels from a 01gs430 fit on a 92ls400.
given the 92 came with a 15 stock and in 93/94 they were upgraded to 16's. but i'm curious about the 17 inches from the gs430.

That shouldn't be a problem since ur car can hold 20" wheels. The only thing I can think of is to make sure the offset will clear the brakes.

thanks guys,
regarding the offset, what extra parts would I need to ensure that the brakes won't interfere if that is the case ?

92 LS400 has 2-piston calipers up front, the same as GS430.
U won't have any problem at all........

BTW......u'r LS will look very nice with that 17-inch 5-spoke GS430 wheels with 1.5 inches drop.
