I wanted to try to find some 17" wheels off another Lexus Model to mount my snow tires on for this coming winter 225-50-17 Blizzak.
Anything out there that is a good fit as far as bolt pattern and back spacing.

most will fit. gs300/400 17s is a good candidate, or if you want, ls400/430 ones should too

Do they all center themselves on the hubs?

I've seen an SC430 with the 3rd gen. 17" 10-spoke GS wheels. Actually looked pretty good.

yes, all lexus (not sure about new LS myself) have 60.1mm hub i believe. i am very sure about the ls430, gs300/400, and sc430

Thanks,
I can buy 4 new 17" Blizzaks from the Tire Rack and used wheels off a Ebay cheaper than 4 new 245-40-18 Blizzaks alone.
It just snowed 6 inches here on our mountain pass the other day!

Wasn't global warming supposed to stop it from snowing in JUNE?!

It can be 50 degrees and raining at my house, 45 minutes from here I can be at the top of the pass and it is 30 degrees and snowing and another hour east (Total of 120 miles) it will be 75 degrees and sunshine. Something for everyone!

How about wheels from a 2006 lexus es 300? I'm not sure about the backspacing. Not myfavorite wheel but they will only be on the car for 3 months out of the year. I guess it is the price you pay for living on top of the mountain.
