What size is a stock LS430 wheel?

In short, the stock Lexus LS430 wheels are 17 inches in diameter (typically 17x7.5) with 235/50R17 tires; an 18-inch wheel option was available on select models.


Standard LS430 wheel size


The most common configuration for LS430 models produced from the late 1990s into the mid-2000s uses 17x7.5-inch wheels. This size is paired with a 235/50R17 tire on most markets and trims, using a 5x114.3 mm bolt pattern and a 60 mm hub bore. The typical wheel offset is around ET50, though exact numbers can vary by wheel design and production year.


Before listing the core specifications, note that wheel sizes can vary slightly by market and option packages. The following specs describe the widely used stock configuration for most LS430s.



  • Wheel diameter: 17 inches

  • Wheel width: 7.5 inches

  • Bolt pattern: 5 x 114.3 mm

  • Center bore: 60 mm

  • Offset: around ET50 (varies by wheel design)

  • Tire size: P235/50R17


These specifications describe the widely used stock configuration for most LS430s.


Optional 18-inch wheel upgrade


Later in the LS430’s production, Lexus offered an 18-inch wheel upgrade on certain trims and markets for a sportier look and handling. This option used wheels around 18x8 inches with a typical tire size of 235/45R18, and it retained the same bolt pattern and a 60 mm center bore. The offset for 18-inch wheels generally sits around ET45–ET50 depending on the specific wheel design.


Before detailing the upgrade, here are the typical specifications associated with the 18-inch option for clarity.



  • Wheel diameter: 18 inches

  • Wheel width: commonly 8 inches

  • Bolt pattern: 5 x 114.3 mm

  • Center bore: 60 mm

  • Offset: approximately ET45–ET50

  • Tire size: commonly P235/45R18


Note that 18-inch wheels were not standard on all LS430 models and availability varied by year and market. If you own an LS430 with 18-inch wheels, verify the exact specification for your vehicle by checking the owner’s manual, the door jamb placard, or the OEM parts fiche for your VIN.


Summary


For most LS430 owners, stock wheels measure 17x7.5 inches with 235/50R17 tires, featuring a 5x114.3 mm bolt pattern and a 60 mm center bore. An optional 18x8-inch wheel upgrade existed on select models, typically using 235/45R18 tires. Always confirm the exact specification for your vehicle by checking the owner’s manual or the VIN-specific OEM parts information, as there are year- and market-specific differences.
