Default 08 LS460 going on 21” LC500 wheels

Hey guys this is my first post here, just bought this 2008 LS 460 and looking to upgrade the wheels. I figured I’d rather stick with original wheels and found these 21 inch 0EM LC500 wheels that should be getting dropped off to me tonight.
Should I look out for any issues or should the clearance be fine?
[18” are also for sale in south Florida]
245/40/21 front
275/35/21 rear
5x120 +32mm

That turned out great, looks sweet! I was going to let you know that the fitment shouldn't cause any issues but read your post too late.
Congrats on the new ride as well.

They look better on the 460 than they do on the 500!

Yes literally, exact hub bore size and everything. I do get slight rub on the rear sometimes think I might try 295/30/21 next time around on the rear

Ya didn’t know how I felt about them in the beginning but they grew on me. But the thought that they are oem VS some cheap non rated 22s is what made me love the idea. Ride quality is amazing. Feels much better on the highway and it’s super smooth. Paired with new brakes and rotors all around and then new sensors for no dash lights and 0 shake or shimmy!

Hard pass, those wheels are NOT attractive, I would have opted for F sport wheels instead.

maybe it’s a little late to say this but the six piston f sport calipers and 15 inch rotors might have filled it up even better!
btw it’s real nice to fix the sensors to get rid of the annoying nag screen. I did mine yesterday as part of a full brake job.

To each there own. I like the biggest on the market for Lexus and the Fs are 20” and the nicer F wheels are 5x114

Wow, That looks real good. You've inspired me. I picked a set up on ebay for really cheap a month ago and been contemplating if I should or shouldnt. Now I know I am.
