I personally think those wheels look bad on the SC430, and they'd probably look bad on just about anything. I'd pass.

Moving this question to the Wheels forum where the experts should be able to help you with fitment.

Will / Manaray / Wheel Vendors: Anybody know the answer to the question above?

I assume the bolt pattern is the same, how about brake clearance?

Letsride:
Do you have a digital picture of your car? Make a post in the Photoshop forum with it attached and request that someone photoshop factory SC430 wheels on it. You'll see exactly how it looks.

I've seen pics recently with 2nd gen factory 17s on a 1st gen GS, so I assume that it is reasonable that the 1st/2nd gen fittment is similar. Can SC430 wheels go on a 2nd Gen GS?

Dave the deal fell through because I couldn't get an answer in time Anyway I think I am going the 17" factory GS route.

I think these will fit with no problems.

Thanks

All of the OE Lexus wheels will cross-over to the early GS: the first-gen cars have tons of room! The newer GS 17s will fit fine.

The 18x8 +45 SC430 wheels will fit fine, too. The factory installed run-flat sensors will be useless, of course. The 245/40-18 OE tires are perfect (but will ride firmly becuase they are run-flat capable).
