Default 17" OEM wheels that fit GS350

I'm trying to pick up some 17" winters but the GS oem 17's are few and far between at the moment. Anybody know if 17's off of other Lexus models will fit? ES, IS, older LS etc? Thanks!

How about 16s? Bigger is not always better in this case ...

16's wont fit over the big calipers of 07-up GS's.

GS350 AWD wheels are 17", IS wheels will fit most are staggered. ES will also fit! Stayaway from LS wheels as those are a different bolt pattern.

Thanks! So I have read that the 2006 GS300 17" wheels WILL fit. Do we have photo confirmation of 17" ES or IS wheels fitting because I can't find any threads. There seem to be many more ES and IS wheels available out there.

I agree that they look great -- those are the 18's though. 17" winter tires are way cheaper though, so I'm trying to stick to them.

Do you still have your Volvo 850? How is it running? Those are great cars!

If the bolt pattern and hub center is the same all you have to do is find out the offset and rim width to know if it'll fit. Its usually embossed on the back of the rim. It'll say something like 17 x 7 " ET50, which means 17" diameter, 7" wide and 50mm positive offset. The smaller the positive offset, the further the wheel sits away from the struts, which is what you want to clear. There's a wheel offset calculator here to give you a comparison of how much clearance you'll have:

I used to have an ES330 which was 17 x 7 ET 50mm. I have a feeling that the GS rims might have a smaller positive offset and wider wheels (as is the case with my brother's 2GS). So if the rims from the ES will clear your struts (according to the calculator), it will sit inside the wheel wheel and look like a Toyota Echo or Corolla with skinny rear wheels. Other vehicles worth looking at include the IS, next gen GS, Camry SE, Solara, Avalon, Highlander, RX350 and Venza.

The GS350 17's are 7.5" wide and have a 45mm offset. That's only part of the picture though because our cars have huge front calipers. There are rims in this exact size that won't fit.
