Default What OEM Lexus wheel will clear LS400 brake upgrade?

Like the title says.

I need to run non-staggered. I can't afford to replace tires more often than necessary. Looking for atleast 17"x8". I was thinking the 17" GS400 wheels, but I just heard they won't clear.

My budget for wheels and tires is ~$1,500.

Any suggestions?

TIA,

06 GS430 wheels PROBABLY will clear

18x8 +45

there's alot of space in there with my stock brakes and stock 06 GS430 brakes are huge.

98+ LS400 wheels, but most are not what I'd call sporty.

LS430 18" wheels are worth considering, they clear my LS400 (on LS400) brakes nicely.



I got mine (chrome) on ebay for about $1k sans tires.

I actually saw a set of LS430 optional wheels on ebay last week. They were chrome and 18x9 all around with a +45 offset. I just can't seem to find these wheels anywhere. I searched the Lexus website, and the LS forums like crazy. These have got to clear LS brakes.

Here's the auction- he wants $1,300 plus shipping. I'm sure There'll be some kind of a vendor discount on CL around holiday time. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB..._BIN_Stores_IT

Thanks No wonder I couldn't find them.


I didn't see it listed, but I wonder if L-Tuned parts (Carson Toyota/Lexus, right?) will do some sort of a holiday discount on them. I think they're gorgeous. They're super light for being so big and chrome, too.


*Edit- checking out L-Tunedparts.com... They carry the 19" version of the wheel, but the prices are $699 and $799. Is this for a set, or per wheel? That's a huge difference from the $1,300 a set from the Ebay link.
