Default Will MKIII Supra Wheels fit a 98 LS400

I tried searching but could not find a definite answer. Does anyone know if the 16" "sawblades" from the MKIII Toyota Supra will fit the 1998 LS400?

Thanks

only the mk3 supra TURBO wheels will clear the front brakes.

if there was only one wheel for both, then it should work.

Sweet,
I picked up a set of chrome sawblades for $50. Now my LS will look horrible in the winter but I wont complain for $50.

Agreed, I will have to wait until fall to post pictures, but I assure you it will look hideous. I tried very hard to find a set of 98 LS wheels but had no luck finding a set for a decent price. I think that the 17" GS wheels look wierd on these cars plus I like paying 16" tire prices and the softer ride.
