lexus es300 with 300zx wheels
My 99 lexus es300 oem wheels are junk. I got is wheels from a nissan 300zx non-turbo for $60, and it looks awesome on my es300, brand new tires 205/60/16, No spacer needed.

Still a steal at that price. I love the 5 spoke design, excellent fitment too. Did you use hubcentric rings as the center bore is 6mm larger?

Looks great.
How'd you get the stock Lexus emblem to pop in?
I would have thought the 300ZX would have had much wider wheels, or even stanced, being a RWD car.

it was the stock wheels hub cap from my es300, its just pop right in, its just loose a little bit, but its not going anywhere though.
300ZX non-turbo wheels are 7.5" wide, the 300zx Turbo the Two Rear wheels are 8.5" wide, that will not fit on the ES300.
lol, i watched your Youtube video about Timing belt and Water pump replacement 2 weeks ago. thanks for the Video, It was easier then looking at the book.

I had no rubbing issues when I had 225/45/18s on 18x7.5 wheels with no spacers on my ES 330.

45mm offset, i run it with the 205/60/16 tires. Its about 8mm gap between the tire and strut. If i run it with the 215mm tires i think its would rubbing the struts. its would be nicer with the 215mm tires, but i dont want to put the spacer on the rear wheels.

I am running 8.5" Sc430 wheels and only got slight rubbing on the rear over extreme dips and bumps. A 5mm spacer cleared it up but I may reduce section width on the next set of tires to see if I can eliminate the spacers
