Shawn, do you work at a Lexus Dealer? Sure, I believe the 19's will fit on a SWB, but I was more concerned that driving on the 19's would somehow mess up the steering, handling, etc...What about warranty if you put the 19's on the SWB?

Hello all, im still waiting on an ls swb to come in and get the touring wheels. We seem to go through a trend, this month we are selling alot of rx's.

I will take pictures as soon as we do another. To answer your questions about different size wheels our general manager had a set of 20 inch wheels along with
a 19 inch wheel so aftermarket wheels are not a problem, just make sure they road force the wheels for ride quality.

Hi, yes I work at a dealership in Texas and we would honor the warranty as long as it was a dealership installed option. The steering and handling should not be affected if they road force the wheels.

Hey Shawn, I just ordered a 2008 SWB 460 last night. I would be very interested in your results of trying to put the 19" Touring wheels on the SWB 460. That is exactly what I would like to do. Thanks!

Lexus wants the brake upgrade that comes with the 19inchers to both be on the car(heavy wheel for stopping)and steering rack. I work for Lexus and that is why.
