For your 2005 Lexus LS, the bolt pattern is 5x114.3 with a center bore of 60.1mm. When selecting aftermarket wheels, ensure they have a center bore of at least 60.1mm or use hub-centric rings to prevent vibrations.

Always use lug nuts with the correct thread pitch (12x1.50) and proper seat type (cone or ball) to avoid wheel loosening. Note that 2006+ LS wheels (5x120) will not fit. Prioritize safety by verifying all specifications before installation.
