Default 19 inches wheel

The 19 inches wheels are they standard? because there is no price for them for the ls 460.

18" is std, the 19" is an upgrade and can ONLY come from the factory. Lexus is being extremely specific about this non-fitment issue going from 18 to 19 and vice versa

The LS460L Touring Package comes standard with 19" wheels, from what I understand, there will be problems fitting them on a non-touring package LS460 . . .

correct, the touring pkg comes with the 19s as well as larger rotors and calipers, thus the non-fitment issue on non-touring cars

from what posted here the problem of the 19" touring wheels on non-touring cars is the width, causing rubbing on the sway bars

i know the touring package has larger rotors front and back. but larger calipers as well? you sure?

Oh well, i know a lot of owners are going to want the wheels but not the package. The tire size is 245/40/19. Thats a really wide tire, thats the same width as the 7 series and im happy to see that.

then they will be out of luck coz' they would rub on "normal" ls460 without touring package. i wonder if it's possible to just swap out the sways as well?

19" rims have a tire size of 245/45. 18" rims have a tire size of 235/50.

The 07 LS460 has a different bolt pattern from the rest of the Lexus models I've heard . . .
