Default GS Rims on an LS

Can I use use the rims from a 2002 GS on a 2004 LS? The GS rims have 215/60/R16 Blizzaks and I have 225/50/R17 summer tires on. I want to use the GS rims as winter wheels and they happen to already have the Blizzaks on them. Thanks for any all input.

From a 2002 2nd gen GS, will likely need spacers on the front wheels to clear the larger LS430 brakes.

What size spacers...any idea? Is that the case with most 16" wheels? I have another set of wheels off of a 90's SC as well but don't like them as much as the GS. Also, the GS has 16x7.5 wheels while the LS has 17x7 I believe. Any issues there?
