Default 21in LC Rims on the LS500?

Question, I know the lug pattern is the same, but I have an AWD LS500 and the LC500 Rims are staggered. So to keep it a square setup, should I buy 2 sets of front LC500 Rims (245 × 8.5), just wanted to confirm that would work or recommendations. I saw an LS500 RWD with the 21s from the LC and looked great. I have 22s on my LS now, but looking for an OEM wheel with a thicker tire for comfort and reduced road noise. Thanks in advance!

They should work fine as some owners have used the LC wheels. You can go staggered as long as rolling diameter which I do think these work. I mean my LS stock wheels came staggered and I have AWD.

thanks! Really? They must have put the RWD Fsport wheels on your AWD?

Blacked out trim made me do a double take as I did not recognize the car without the chrome. The wheel also give it a different profile to my eye.

Just curious, does anyone have any additional pics of the LC rims on the LS besides the one I found?
