Default would current-gen LS wheels fit on 3GS?

7.5x18 with 32mm (or 34mm) offset. Our 3GS have, I believe, 40mm stock offset. I'm thinking of stepping up from my OEM 17s to the LS 18s. And with the less offset, it can at least push out the wheels a bit by 6mm-8mm without the use of spacers.

Opinions?

you cannot put current LS wheels on your gs because the bolt pattern is different.

Oh man, you're right. Coming from BMWs where lug patterns are the same, I didn't know that Lexus have different lug patterns for different models.

Thanks, man! 'Nuff said.

same here, ls wheels aren't good enough to warrant adapters for me

the ls460 and 7 series share relatively close offsets, but the 7 series can take more aggressive setup
