Hello, just was handed down my mom's 03' LS430 with 276k still running strong last week. Just wonder what other OEM 17's will fit without any spacers/adapters?
I had 18's with sport suspension (on ****test roads ever) it was too harsh for me.
Went to the non-sport springs + OEM 5 spoke 17's - much better now.
I would also suggest to use 235/55/17 vs 225/55 OEM. The ride will probably be very comparable to OEM 16's.
And much better in looks.
Did you go this route with your 17's? I have OEM 17's that were just rechromed but are due for tires soon. Part of me wants to try the 16's to get the smoothest ride possible but it's like a 2k investment for a whole chrome wheel set and new tires.
Has anyone gone from 225/55/17 to 235/55/17? I guess the car would ride about .2" higher due to the increased sidewall and have a slight speedometer error - about 1mph faster at 60mph. I wonder if the tire noise would be more noticeable being on a bit wider rubber.
OEM 16's though would still offer more sidewall, 225/60/16 gives you 135mm vs 235/55/17 at 129.25mm, but at that point it's pretty close.
i don't think the GS-F wheels will need spacers from what i have been reading. i just picked up a set. getting the tires mounted & may have them on this week.

i found out the used car lot that had my car had installed later model (not sure of the year) GS wheels. they were 17's & they fit no problem. after she got into a crash, i had to find wheels to put on to keep it moving. bought the other 17's that a guy said was on his camry. they cleared no problem either. i ended up buying another set of 17" GS wheels. but haven't put them on yet. but came across a deal for GS-F wheels. so i'm going that route instead.

hey Barricade, i tried to reply to your message, but it says you are not set up to receive private messages.
What size spacers? Any specific brand you recommend?
There are multiple posts on spacers, sizes. I've included some of the specific recommendations and from what I recall the suggestion is 15mm front, 20 or 25mm rear.
