Default My 1999 LS400 with OEM GS460 wheels

Hi,

I just replaced my car stock wheels with GS460 wheels and 245/45 R18 tires and decided to post pics. I do like the setup and do not plan to lower the car and similarly the car is smooth with literally no road noise. Also, the car speedometer is also accurate just like before as I went with the upgraded tire size. Plus plenty of clearance for the brake callipers.

More pics, just took them now. Will add others later as it is a bit hard to cover the whole car because of no space to go further in the garage!

I'm not seeing any adapters, am I blind or are you magic?

How did you get them to fit? Not to sound ignorant, but I had read that LS460/LS600 wheels were 5x120, while LS400s are 5x114.3?

Questions aside, they look awesome!

Default No these fit as they are GS460

Yes the LS460 wheels have a different bolt pattern and these are GS460 which have the same as the LS400 5x114.3. So no need of any modifications. The LS460 were available but as suggested did not fit unless non-OEM which I didnt want to go for. So no magic lol. Thx. Ya they do look nice.

I like em, sort of. Just one thing I don't like (it might just be me) the design should be directional. It looks like there's more wind resistence on the passeger side with the way they're cut. Maybe I'm just thinking too much into it?

the design of these later GS wheels is directional, but they still look good.

i personally prefer the nondirectional 18s that came on the 06-~08 GS.
