Default Rims help

hey guys im pretty new to this site but i was wondering..

i have a Lexus ES300 1992

and i wanted to put some new rims on it but i wasnt sure which rims i could and couldnt use

my brother goes some stock 2006 GS300 17" silver spoke rims

and i wasnt sure if they'd fit on my lexus es300 1992 or not

if you could give me some specs about my lexus like what size rims would fit // wouldnt fit (sizes)

and same specs w/ the 2006 gs300 rims

the 17" GS wheels will most likely rub in the rear without spacers. I had a set of 2nd Gen GS wheels on my wifes ES and they rubbed pretty hard in the back. They actually rubbed on the inside, not the outside, hence the need for spacers. I'm not sure what the specs on the 06 GS wheels are. If you decide you are looking for a nice set of wheels for the ES, let me know, I have a great set, for a very nice price

I have 95 ES300 and 06 GS rims on them.

06 GS 17" will rub w/o spacer. With fender roller, go with 5mm spacer and you will be OK. Otherwise, change the suspension to stiffer type if you prefer 10mm for flush. Search on forum and you will find some numbers. I'll look for it later when I have the time. Gotta go now. GL.
