Default LS 19s

I think the new LS's 19" wheel looks goooooood. Anyone know the width(s) and offset of these babies?

If I recall correctly, I read in a GS thread that the new LS 19's bolt pattern is NOT 5x114.3, but 5x120 instead.

PCD is different than bolt pattern, ISbb... I don't know what the PCD is for the LS 19's - probably still 60.1 mm.

The new LS does use 5X120 as mentioned above. I thought MB used 5X112 though? BMW uses 5X120 as well as Acura for the RL though.

spokes might look too thick for the smaller IS, I like X package wheels better

That doesn't sound right. PCD is Pitch Circle Diameter and this roughly corresponds with bolt pattern (but pattern doesn't actually include the diameter and PCD does.) Common PCDs are 4 x 100, 5 x 100, 5 x 114.3, and 5 x 120. There are lots of others, but those are the ones you see most from Japan.

You're thinking of centerbore. It's the only thing on the wheels even close to 60.1mm. Toyota is notorious for very small centerbores. Many, many, Toyotas have a 54.1mm centerbore. 60.1 is still not very big for a 3600 lb vehicle. The majority of aftermarket wheels have a 73mm centerbore.

Yes, I was thinking of center bore... I stand corrected - my apologies to ISbb. However, a wheel's P.C.D. isn't the same as the bolt pattern, it's part of the bolt pattern. P.C.D. is defined as the diameter (in millimeters) of an imaginary circle drawn through the center of the stud holes on the wheel and/or the vehicle wheel hub. So, you could have wheels with the same P.C.D. and different bolt patterns.

We're picking fly shiznitz and pepper now. I think we got the idea across though.
