looking at a set of used wheels,
front 20x9 +43 high disk and rear 20x10 +43 low disk. I know the rear will work but I want to know if the front's will work on 2nd gen gs or would they look silly. They are in the wheel classifieds and they are on an ls400.

They won't look silly. There rear should fit without modification. The front might need just a tiny bit of tweaking. I am not sure of the look you are looking for but unless you want to measure down to the mm of how the front fits compared to the rear, I think it should be fine.

Thank's for the input,
I want them as flush to the fender's as possible but also I want to fully use up the inner fender's as well, with out rolling the fender's. In other word's. I want the widest (most agressive) staggered rim/tire combo I can get. I was thinking the front's (+43) would be pushed in or out too much and the rears a little too conserved. I am just plain confused

I know it's a scary thing to think of rolling your fenders, but I think it's worse to spend money and not be happy with your new wheels.

Hers is a good example....

I sold a set of wheels to a CL member Rdubz, he went with 20x9 +30. After I think a minimal roll on the front fender he realized he could have went as low as +27 to +24.

Contact Rudbz

Here is his car.

Good Luck,

+45 is stock offset for LS, so the wheels will look like stocks. if you really want those wheels you can use a spacer to bring them out some.
