Default LS 460 stock wheels on GS 350?

Most of you will probably think I'm crazy, but I'm tired of 5-star wheels. Had them on my last car for ten years. My 2007 GS 350 has the stock 5-stars on them and while they look very good on the car, it's a sporty look, and I'm after a more luxury/classy look. Every time I see a stock LS with the 10-spoke wheels, I think it looks great.

I don't mind the stock 17" 10-spokes on the GS 300, except 17 is too small.

I'm a wheel noob... Would these LS wheels fit on my GS, and could I use the same tires (Yokohama Advan 245/40 R18)?

GS specs: ( http://www.sewellpartsonline.com/par....asp?id=180781 )
* Size: 18 x 8 inches
* Bolt Pattern: 5-114.3
* Offset: 45 mm
* Weight 29.65 lbs
* Accepts TPMS Sensors

LS specs: ( http://www.sewellpartsonline.com/par....asp?id=187268 )
* Size: 18 x 7.5 inches
* Bolt Pattern: 5-120
* Offset: 32 mm
* Weight 27.75 lbs
* Accepts TPMS Sensors

Have any of you done this or know where there's a pic?

The GS in this picture is what mine looks like. The LS wheels are cheaper than the GS wheels... so I can probably break even.

I like the LS Wheels and was debating till I saw the bolt pattern. The rims wont fit because the stock bolt pattern is 5x114.3 and the LS is 5x120

well, if you look at the bolt pattern, right away you should know it won't work.

but seriously? If both with the same pattern.. I will be VERY glad to give our LS460L rims away for your GS rims..

i hate the stock LS rims. looks so small and insignificant.

Well, if I knew that, I wouldn't be asking you! But seriously, thanks for the help... It's too bad, apparently I wouldn't have had any trouble making a trade for the LS wheels.

Hey, where are you located? Seeing the Sewell logo, I am guessing you are in the Dallas, Texas area?

I am looking for these rins to put on my 06 GS300. If you happen to replace them, please let me know and I will take them off your hands.

looking at my stock 17's, i had to get me some bigger wheels..
i was trying to get 19" from ls until i found out about the bolt pattern.
i think 5 spoke gs wheels look very nice, especially the windmil looking one..

Default I found the partner in crime!!

I had exactly same wish as yours and found this wheels on ebay. Many CL members has advised against it due to some good reasons. I am still thinking about it but most likely won't go for it.

Read this thread and let me know what you think.

I'm in CA. My wheels aren't from Sewell... they just had a good pic of them. If I find the wheels I want, maybe I'll look you up!
