Default 20" Panthers

Hi everyone, I am new to this forum and have been following the great informative posts. I purchased a winter set of tires last year and want to leave them on the stock rims.

I have an opportunity to purchase a set of 20" Panthers 20 X 8.5
the tire size is 245 - 35 - ZR20.

My question is. Will these fit on my 2002 LS430
I am currently running with stock 17's

What if anything would need to be done to accommodate this wheel set?

Thanks.

the offset of the wheel would be helpful, but you shouldn't have any issues with them fitting as far as size. no mods will be needed........oh yeah you need to slamm it, thats about it.

The size sounds fine but in addition to the offsets, you will also want to know that the bolt pattern and the hub are compatible. The bolt pattern of the LS is going to be a 5x114.3 (not all 5 lugs wheels are the same size). I've seen it happen before where the wheels didn't fit in spite of the fact that they were a 5 bolt pattern. Good luck....
