Need wheel swap info
93' LS400 with stock wheels and 225/60X16 Potenza's. Want to put stock LS450 wheels 235/50X18 with Turanza's. Will the 2" create any problems in handling/alignment or clearence ? These are silver 9 spoke wheels off of an 09'. Is there a better year/size choice ? Want to stay with 17" or 18".

You're new to this Lexus game, aren't you? haha
If it's an LS460, the bolt pattern is different: your '93 is 5x114.3, the LS460 is 5x120.
That said, 18" LS430 wheels will probably be your better option. As long as the overall diameter doesn't change, it's not going to throw off your speedometer. However, a lower profile tire will have different ride and handling characteristics than a taller profile.

'09 is 460, you'll need adapters.
'01-06 is 430. No wheel issues with yours and you can bolt-go.
95-00 is 400. Bolt these up and go too.
