Not likely to clear the brake calipers as with many wheels unless specifically noted for large brake caliper clearance. You'll probably need a 10-15mm spacer on the front. Wheel stud has to be 5x114.3. Anything else will require an adapter.

You seem to keep missing the concerns that you have to deal with the front brake calipers on '95-00 LS400s being very large and fouling on the spoke of the wheels. This is why you were told to confirm that the wheels were made to clear large brake calipers.

that honda CRV has very small brakes, BUT from the looks of the wheels from the first picture, they will clear your big brake calipers just fine. this is just my guess, and not entirely certain.

i am more concerned with the tire (or tyre) sizing, as crossover SUVs like that CRV require larger tires. ask the seller what size the tires are, as they look to have a very big sidewall.


Quick Reply: urgent please will these fit 1998 ls400
