I`ve learned alot from the forum..Thanks. I have a 99 GS 400 with 17 in. factory rims.I want to get stock 18in. Lexus LS430 chrome rims as an update,will they fit? Where to get? I want to stick w/. Lexus as I don`t want any fit or vibration problems...Whay size tires?I want to lesson the fender gap without messing w/ springs.Or can u recomend an 18 or 19 in. rim with no risk or problems? Thanks,Pete

There's no way of getting rid of that gap unless you use a spring.. Even with a 19 or 20 inch wheel there's still a gap.. GL..

Get the 06+ 18" stock wheels you see in Frank White and ChuckB's sigs. They look wayyyyyyyyyy better than LS430 wheels.

I used to have Ls430 rims on my GS400. They road really nice and gave the car a sweet look, i had the charcoal colored ones.

here is a link to a pic of my GS on the Ls 18"s

Dude, I'm talking about what the original post was about, 18" LS430 rims on a GS. Not GS wheels on a GS, lots of those lol

Also wanted to mention if anyone has an SUV..I've got some SUV HRE 20"s on sale in the wheels classifieds..
