Ok guys...they fit perfectly. Exactly the same brake clearance since the offset is the same. The only difference is that the GS430 wheel is 18" x 8" vs. LS430 wheel is 18" x 7.5".

Hehe...funny you should mention. I actually have a set of 5 of those wheels in chrome sitting in my warehouse. Need to sell them. I want to actually put smaller wheels on my car to improve ride quality.

I'll leave looks, speed and handling to my 2001 S4 avant with 535 hp

i had those TRD's on my GS4, got ton of looks!!! it wasn't chrome, which is what i prefer. How are the TRD bigger than the GS430 wheels??? I believe they are both 18" x 8". maybe because yours are chrome, they are heavier???
I still thinks the LS has the looks over any wagon... let alone audi s4 (no disrespect) how the hell do you have 535 hp, you must have some extra mods, i don't think the RS4 has 500hp.

They're the same. I actually want to go back to 17" or even 16" wheels on my LS430 for better ride quality.

Thanks for trying it out. Great looking LS by the way, and that AUDI looks looks like a monster with those numbers

I saw some lady driving an 04+ LS430 with '06 with wheels so I'm sure they fit. They made the LS look a lot sportier.

Thanks for the confirmation SS2001. Now I"ll get some GS wheels and put some snow tires on them I couldn't get a confirm if these will fit a few months ago and missed a chance to buy a set of new take-offs with tires (only 30 miles on it) for $500 as the owner bought the car and immediately got 20" upgrades.
