Rim change fit or not
I have a 2003 LS430 with 17" rims. I have a chance to get a good deal on 16" rims from a 1995 LS400. In reading here on the forum it seems the brake caliper is large and I was wondering if anyone knows if I could do this swap. Thanks.

Nope, 1995 rims will not fit without spacers. 98-00' would fit without any moods though.

They are not hubcentric. They look decent tho just not on a SC. Do you notice any vibration or steering wheel feed back?

Yeah I think so....i forgot what size. I like the oem look. I'm kinda scared if I spend 2-4k on wheels I won't like the way it looks.
