Lexus LS 430 / Toyota Celsior XF30 (UCF30/UCF31) wheel fitment
The LS 430, sold in Japan as the third-generation Celsior, came on 16, 17 or 18-inch wheels at ET45 depending on market and package. It is one of the core VIP platforms, so owners move to 19 or 20-inch staggered wheels, and the large front calipers make wheel design as important as offset.

A Celsior owner in the same thread runs 19x8.5 ET35 front and 19x9.5 ET37 rear with 5 mm spacers, so ET30 and ET32 effective, to clear the calipers with a 1–2 mm gap and no bodywork.

Width and offset guidance
Offset range
Check the exact setup
There is no confirmed range for this car yet. Compare a known wheel with your proposed size and measure both sides.
Common width limit
Measure before ordering
A maximum width has not been confirmed. Tyre shape, ride height and alignment all change the available space.
These figures belong to the setups described here. Combining the widest wheel with either end of the offset range does not guarantee a safe fit. For how ET moves the wheel in and out, read wheel offset explained; for how far the tyre can sit out, see flush, poke and tucked fitment.
Clearance notes
- The front calipers are large. One owner found 18x8 ET40 wheels needed about 7 mm more caliper clearance, and another's 20x9.5 ET40 wheels missed by about 10 mm, so check the wheel maker's brake template.
- The hub bore is 60.1 mm. Most aftermarket wheels need hub-centric rings.
- Wheel nuts are M12x1.5. Factory wheels use flat-seat nuts, so aftermarket wheels usually need the conical nuts their maker specifies.
- On cars lowered on the factory air suspension, one owner with 20x10 ET44 rears on 275/30 tyres found the tyre touched the rear air strut when driven too low.
- More aggressive VIP fitments need bodywork. Owners report 20x9 ET36 / 20x10 ET44 on shaved rear quarters, 20x9 ET38 / 20x10 ET42 rubbing on big dips with rolled fronts, and 19x10 / 19x11 at ET24 with front spacers and rolled rear arches on coilovers.
- A 245/40 R19 tyre is close to the diameter of the factory 245/45 R18 and 225/55 R17.
- We have not confirmed Lexus's wheel-nut torque for this model. Use the figure in the owner's manual.
- Check full steering lock and suspension travel with the car loaded. Match wheel load rating, tyre load and speed ratings, fastener seats and brake clearance.

Will 20-inch wheels fit an LS 430?
Yes, on a mild drop owners run 20x9 front around ET32 to ET38 with 10 to 10.5-inch rears around ET42 to ET45. Lower offsets than that usually need rolled or shaved arches and camber.
Why don't some 19 or 20-inch wheels clear the LS 430 brakes?
The front calipers are big, and low-disc or flat-faced designs can hit them whatever the offset. Owners use 5 mm spacers or choose high-disc wheels to get clearance.
