I am looking to upgrade to 18inch wheels, and have found a great deal with RUN flat tires Dunlop and Gunmetal Rims almost new for only $1000.

I would like to know if they will fit on my Lexus 2004 LS430? A previous post said that the brakes would not clear. I have done nothing to my car so it it stock.

Thanks in Advance.

they should fit. i had an LS430 rim put on my gs.

you had a second gen GS, so its a moot point. the old GS had tiny brakes, such that the old GS wheels wouldnt clear the 95+ LS400 and all LS430 brake calipers (front).

3GS have larger brakes, and so therefore the assumption is that 3GS wheels should clear 3LS (and 2LS) brake calipers. (front)

someone had these on a sc300 with BBK and it cleared the brakes by a hair.

So it clears or doesn't clear? Haha ... I'm looking to upgrade to LS400 BBK and I'm interested in these rims.

Looks like the answer is yes:

So they DO clear the LS400 BBK or were you saying they fit on his car .... I would like a few inches of space between my rim/calipers as I don't want any rubbing/grinding issues over potholes and whatnot ... thanks for the links though Cloud9

you won't get a couple inches, wheels dont work that way with the LS brakes since they're pretty damn wide.
wheels flex VERY little, you won't have them hit just over potholes or whatever.
