Default Lexus Rims

Does anyone know if ANY stock Lexus rim will fit a 92 SC400?

Do you mean other stock Lexus models? I know of a couple SC's with GS and IS rims on them. Rims for other year SC's will also fit your 92.

Aftermarket rims might fit from other Lexus models.I have rims for an IS on my SC. Be careful buying aftermarket rims off a GS. They can hold a larger wheel and take a different offset.

I just bought the SC and it didn't come with any wheels. It is a project car, so I was planning on just putting some sort of stock wheel on it until I was done with it. I have my stock ES wheels I can use, but I'd rather not so I can put them back on the ES for the winter. So I was gonna see if I can borrow my friends stock 91 LS wheels. Will either of these wheels fit, or do I have to buy IS or GS wheels? Thanks...

Actually, let me revise that a little. I had tried to put my stock SC rims on my mother in laws late 80's ES 250 and they wouldn't fit. As long as they have a 5 x 114.3 lug pattern, they should fit.

Since the ES is front wheel drive does that mean the stock wheels wont fit on the SC?

I may have a set of chrome 16' inch wheels coming off my SC within a short while.

They're in almost perfect condition (I am very **** about how my wheels look) with only one minor scratch on one wheel.

Let me know if you're interested in buying them.

if they're going on an sc, go with the IS stock wheel. With them being 17", they look really sweet and fill up the fenders nicely as well.

The early ES250 was based on the Camry platform, which at that time was 5x100. The later model cars are all 5x114.3. The ES300 and IS300 wheels will fit, but they are quite narrow- in fact, they are narrower than the OE SC400 wheel (16x7.5). I would use wheels from a newer GS, LS, or SC.

Actually (to be totally honest), I would coin-up for a proper set of 18" or larger wheels!
