Yes, they are still available. If you have the standard 225/55/17 all seasons on your LS, then this Blizzak 225/60/16 has identical outside tire diameter as yours (26.8" vs 26.7") so the tires will definitely clear your wheel well. However, the issue is whether the rims (from 2gen GS) will clear your brake caliper which I'm not sure. The inside diameter where the brakes are on the backside of the rim measures about 15-5/16" on these rims. You may want to just pull one of your rims off (or just crawl under your car) and measure your brake dimension and the inside diameter from the backside of your rim and compare that to what our rims have. That way you can be sure. Send me a PM if you have additional questions.
One additional comment. Should these rims don't fit, you should consider getting a set of dedicated rims for your winter tires to avoid wear and tear on your existing rims and not to mention the reoccuring cost (probably $200 annually) of mounting and re-balancing your tires every fall and spring if you use your existing rims. My neighbor was doing that on his Lexus until the tire shop he used cracked his original rim while trying to mount or unmount the snow tires. After that, he got himself an extra set of rims just for the snow tires.
