When I purchased my LS460L it came with 18 inch rims and tires. I liked the look of the 19 inch rims but I was told it was not a option. When I went back for my 15000 mile service I saw a car just like mine with the 19 inch 5 spoke rims. I asked the service manager and he told me that it was possible and that is what the owner of the dealership drove and that is what he drove.

I asked for a price and it was $6500. I bought a set of 4 on ebay for 1650 with tires.

Can any of you help answer some questions.

1. Will the speedometer still work correctly even though I have larger rims?

2. I do not know how the air pressure sensors work. The seller of the tires told me that his tires do not have any sensors. Can I remove the sensors from the 18 inch rims (which I plan to keep and use in the winter)? Or, should I buy new sensors?

3. Is there a trick to installing new sensors and or pairing them to the car?

thanks

speedo is fine if it is the factory 19 inch tire size.
if it is oem it should have the tire sensors installed.
you will have to go to a tire store to have the sensors paired to your car.

Oh yeah, if they are the factory rims you will have no problems...
