Default aftermarket wheels for the LS430

I dont want 18 inch wheels on my car anymore so I am going to find some nice light 17s and go for the smooth ride.

Do all 17 X 7.5 aftermarket wheels with a 45 offset clear the 430's brakes ?

Would you be interested in a trade? I know this got brought up a while ago, but winter break is coming up for me meaning I should have a good 3 weeks from christmas to new yrs to do a swap with you.

I know that the stock 17s aren't the most desirable wheels, but they are built with OEM quality and clear the brakes. The ones I have are smooth with no vibration. There are some small wear and tear chips here and there (mainly the passenger front wheel). Let me know if you're interested in doing a trade. Please PM me (if you're interested) with the condition of your wheels and the price I would have to pay on top to make it happen.

BTW, I am in MI and willing to meet somewhere in Canada.

Sorry, but the Lexus 17s are not what I am looking for. There are nicer aftermarket wheels out there, but thanks for the offer.

still need to know if all 17 X 7.5 aftermarket wheels with a 45 offset clear the 430's brakes ?

Regarding the 18s I have, I just put new Continental ExtremeContact DWS tires in 245/45/18 on the car, and have driven it maybe 1,000 miles. When I sell the wheels, I need the buyer to take the tires too. I don't have a price in mind, but the tires were over $1,000 installed with tax. The wheels are in very good condition, just small curb scratches courtesy of the previous owner.

When I remove the wheels and put on the snow tires/wheels, I will try to sell the wheels and tires as a package here.

keep in mind that it's not the offset that determines if it clears the big brake caliper.

look for high disk-the way how the inside spoke gives clearance

ex: stock 17" from a 2nd GS doesn't clear the 430 brakes...
