Question IS350 18" wheels on LS400

Hi!

I just bought 18" wheels from IS350, waiting for them, but wondering will they fit to LS400 1991? They are:
front: 225/40 R18 on 8" rim 45mm offset
rear: 255/40 R18 on 8.5" rim 50mm offset

Does anybody tried to put these on LS400?

Thanks!

those look crazy good man! I want some 17's or 18's so bad. But i can't get myself to get some. 1k on wheels and tires just doesnt make sense on an car i paid 2k for.

I guess the inner cheapness in me wont allow it!

did you put in spacers?

yeah i got the wheels for $500 (or $550? i forget) from a CL member and the tires for like $450 or less.. wasnt too bad. i needed new tires anyway and i used that to justify...haha

no spacers were needed, they sit PERFECTLY flush..

Yes I Also Do Have IS350 Wheels On My 1995 LS400. It Seems Like Your Rears Sit Nicer Than Mine. I Got Mine For 350 With Tires. Knew A Lexus Mechanic That Where Selling Some. Gota Love That Stock Clean Look.
