Default Will IS350 rims fit a 96' LS??

Does anyone know if the stock IS350 rims will fit a 96' LS400? I called a Lexus dealership, but they didn't know.

If it does, does anyone have any pictures?

Also, what range of offsets, bolt pattern etc should I be looking at to know what will fit so I don't have to keep bothering everyone here??

Thanks.

If my memory serves me correctly, all Lexus with the exception of the LS460 share the 5 x 114 bolt pattern. As for offsets are concerned, most offsets on OEM Lexus wheels are fairly conservative. I don't see why they wouldn't fit. The only issue I would be concerned about is whether or not they have enough clearance for your front brakes. Hopefuly someone else can chime in on that matter becuase I really don't have intimate knowledge of the brake system on the LS400's.

The 350 has larger brakes upfront but i don't know if there is enough clearance for the calipers. Need to try and to see.

it should, theres a LOT of room on the IS350s ive seen.

though that may be because most of the IS350 wheels ive seen up close have been on IS250s

I'm still undecided as to what rims would look good on my LS. Does anyone have any opinions on how the IS350 rims would look?

Just saw this post from back in 2007. Did you ever install the IS350 rims on your LS? I was thinking of doing the same for my 94 LS. Wondering if they will fit and if so, how they will look.

Good search and welcome to CL.

On the 1-LS, the 2-IS wheels will fit and they do look good. Recently I've been thinking of a newer OEM wheel to put on mine so the 350 wheels were a consideration. It is staggered too so

The Infinity wheels do look good. I wonder if this would displease the Toyota God though. I wish Toyota would do some more aggressive wheel designs.

Hey guys. I just bought a set of 18" is350 wheels for my 91' LS a week ago. I also bought Supra calipers so i needed at least 17" instead of the original 15" to get clearance. I will post info and pictures both with the original 91' calipers and with the supra calipers. Cross fingers and lets see if it fit :-)

Ohh that might be me telling wrong things. I think i mixed it up because I myself wanted to have at least 17" winter wheels. Have looked for a long time and then theese 18" is wheels came up at a good price so here i go :-) And hey Supra calipers looks good with bigger rims imo ;-) Well lets see if they will fit in a couple of weeks.

I once looked into using IS250 wheels on my LS400. Best to stay OEM.
