Default Didn't realize it matters...

I thought a Lexus 17" rim was a lexus 17" rim-why does it matter what model it came from? Thanks Ryan! (I'm real new at this game )

I have the '02 LS430 rims on my '94 LS400, they are 17 x 7.5. I wanted to keep the same OD as the OEM setup so I run 225 55 17 in Discount Tires Yokohoma YK420. I think you can only get them at Discount Tire, they are a nice looking all season and very quiet tire. Would recommend them at about $140 ea.

Default Any advantage to...

Sticking with 17" wheels from a LS430 instead of 17" wheels from a different model Lexus? (assumimg they both have 50mm offset) I'd like to keep my LS400 as close to stock as possible with the exception of the Eibach springs,Tokico struts combo that i plan to install Thanks!
