Default are GS350 and LS460 swb brake calipers the same size

hey this question may have been answer previously but i have searched and searched. the quesion i would like to know is the 2008 GS350 brakes calipers and the 2007 LS460 SWB brake calipers the same or same size. i looked at both brake calipers today and they look about the same size to me the reason im asking is that every rim shop i went to told me that the ls460 have a bigger brake caliper and that rim has to be special order for car bc the average rim would not fit around the brake caliper. im in the market for some 22s. do anyone know of any 5 star design wheels that doesnt have to be specially ordered. my guess is that they are confusing the gs350 calipers for 06gs300 calipers. thanks in advance

The front brake on the LS460 is bigger than the GS350. It just shaped almost the same so you dont notice it's size if not comparing side by side.

Dang I was hoping they were the same size. Well any suggestuons on a 5 star 22" wheel design that will clear the brake caliper. Excluding ashanti wheels. Nothing wrong with them but every 7 series and S550 have them

For 22" I have no idea but i think most 3 pc wheels manufacture company will have a solution for you. First wheels out of my head for the LS series is the Riverside altstadt s250. It looks sick on the LS460 but it's 21". You can see how it look on their website. Just google riverside wheels.
