I was thinking on adding 18" Chrome or aluminum rims to my LS430 and was wondering what they will look like. Please note the rim brand and tire size when posting. Can you also add input and feedback on ride confort or regrets if any. Thanks...

P.S....Pics of 19" rims are fine also. I don't want to go 20" and prefer the 18" comfort.

I just bought my LS430 tonight! It has 18" Work wheels. I will try to get some pics up early next week.

As far as ride goes it feels stock to me. IMHO, the 19" or 20" would be a better choice...just don't look right to me. Keep in mind that I had 20s on my 2GS and loved them.

I have 19. You can see a few pictures in my gallery. I'm running 245/40 and 275/35

The ride on 19 seems a little stiffer because of smaller sidewalls. Expect more tire noise though.

Here you go. Ohh yea, dont the wheels and exhaust tips look familiar? LOL Tire sizes are the same as the OEM 18's 245-45-18, and of course there SC430 wheels. And I do have 1/8 inch spacers in the rear, anyway awsome ride, no regrets... good luck

NACNAC

Heres a butt shot...

NACNAC...Did you put the 1/8 inch spacers on the rear because the rims touches the brakes or just to make you rims stick out more? They look nice. Thanks for postiing.

NACNAC

No no, just to stick out more so it sits a lil more flush. Only the front I had a problem with, because there SC430 wheels it didnt fit. But thats a another story LOL. Make sure tho whatever size you go with 18,19,20... you have to get them wide, cause you want that like 745 beemer look. What can I say, Lexus does a horrible job with wheel fitment

Thanks NACNAC...When shopping for rims 18" 0r 19"...What is the size I should be looking for and also the offset to make it look nice an fitted. ALso what is the matching size tire to go with them so it is the same diameter as the stock when installed and ithe odometer stays true? This may make it easier when buying rims sight unseen....or does it differ in other rims even though the specs are the same. I'm sure other readers have the same problems when buying rims sight unseen from eBay, craigslist or some other discount places. PAnyone pease reply if you have any input. Thanks....DanozLS430

NACNAC

First off youll want to search the Wheel fitment guide on this site, Itll help you determine the size you want and how aggressive you want it to look. For overall tire diameter, just google "tire height calculator" then you can play around with different sizes seeing which ones come the closest to the OEM size.
