Default IS wheels on a 91 LS ?

Can I put IS300 stock 5 spokes ona LS , I think the offset is higher for the IS
+50 IS vs +38 LS ? What problems would if they can be mounted ?

I really like the 17" vs the stock 15" I have now

Thanks

Sorry...they won't clear your calipers...it would look nice though.....you have to look for something with a lower offset to clear that ....smallest would probably be 18"...better selection in 20"

not really, with teh correct offset even 17s would fit. offset doesn't have anything to do with the wheel size. besides offset, i think the most important thing is that the is300 wheel isn't for high disk application at all

I'll have stock 17s from 01 LS430 on sale very soon when I get my 18s delivered. I'll probably end-up selling them on e-bay though. I am just curious though if they go on '91 LS with no problems. I think they might...

I have a '94 LS400 and run the 2002 LS430 17x7.5 wheels and the fit is perfect, as information.

hey, those ls430 17s look nice on your ls400. they actually look bigger on the ls400 than they do on ls430...just my observation.

Yes I agree, the character fits the '94 I think very well. Thanks for the compliment.

I am looking for maybe some OE 18" LS430's for it now. I wanted to post this picture to show people how these 17"s look on the older cars. For Mvlek, also note that the LS430 rims like these are 17 x 7.5, where the IS ones, if they even fit the LS, are only 17 x 7". Slightly wider looks a tad better.
