18" SC430 wheels on older LS 400?
I could have sworn that not to many months ago I saw a pic of someone who had made this switch.
I am interested in this myself and recently ran across a set for sale by the owner of a 99 LS that said that he could not make them work without spacers.
Does anyone have accurate info about this application?
Thanks, damon

WT-I had the answer:
"It's not the tire size, but it's the wheel itself. The 2nd gen LS got 4 piston calipers in the front versus 2 pistons caliper on the SC430. Those rims will fit the 1st gen LS with not problem because they have 2 pistons caliper too. But the SC430 wheels will not clear the brake calipers on 2nd gen".
