BTW: those are HOT rims!

If you have any more info, please share. Also FYI these are LS calipers from the 98-2000 I believe he is looking into.

LS 430 WHEELS DO NOT FIT THE GS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
LS 430 WHEELS DO NOT FIT THE GS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I tried some 03 LS430 chromies on my car and all they did was shook and wobbled....
Lexus dealers tell me because of the caliper difference, thats why they don't fit
Chuck, don't waste your money.....buy my L-tuned instead

That is by far the most skewed commment I have heard. The wheels will fit, I guess the set you tried on were not balanced, because they shouldnt wobble. And the caliper difference has no affect on the wheels as your talking about.

well I have.....first off...the lug nuts don't seat down 100%....
secondly, once you get them down, they don't seat 100% on the hub.....you could physically move the wheel back and forth in a side to side action when it's fully torqued down

did I write ANYWHERE that I drove on em??? I actually drove a WHOLE BLOCK before I realized something wasn't right in Denver and I decided to head home, and throw stocks back on....apparently ppl like to read what they want to read and hear what they want to hear
