Smile Big Wheels on LS430

Hello. I own a 2006 Lexus LS430 with the optional 18" Rims. I wanted to upgrade my wheels to a 19" or maybe a 20". I'm looking for recommendations for rims and also appropriate sizes that fit. Also, please inform me on anything I need to know. Thanks guys! Appreciate your help!

There's a Wheels for Sale, Wheels Forum and a Photoshop Forum on this site that might have info about which wheels are on people's cars and what fits.

The only thing I've heard/read about our cars is you can run into fitment issues due to the large front brake calipers on the LS. So beware of that.

Offset is very important, because as "Abbynormal said, the 430 has some huge from calipers, just make sure they clear and you'd be good.

Just make sure the wheels you buy are "high disk" and you will be fine for caliper clearance. Also dont go crazy on width and low offsets. Keep it conservative and youll have no issues.
