Default Steel highlander rims

I was wondering if the steel rims of a 2003 highlander would fit on my 2002 gs300? There's a guy selling 4 of them for 50 bucks and I need rims for me snow tires. I know the bolt pattern is the same, but I'm not sure if everything else would work. They aren't the alloy ones, but the 5 spokes that came on the base model. If someone could let me know that would be great. Thanks

You would need to do a test fit. They may not clear the caliper or have a different hub bore size.

The hub bore is definitely the same. All Toyota/Lexus vehicles that's are 5x114.3 have a 60.06 hub bore

If they are 16" I would say there is a 95% chance they will fit no problem.

i would be concerned of the offset and clearing of front brake calipers.

If you read my post carefully you would have seen

I wouldn't be concerned about that at all. The OEM wheels are 17x8 +50. Honestly the 2GS calipers are tiny

Again to OP. test fitting is still the best option. Either way its only $50 bucks

having had a highlander before

if they are the steel ones, then they should be 16x6.5 +35 offset for the first gen highlander.

i know the other way around dont work without spacers in the rear clear the strut. 2nd gen gs 16x7.5 rims wont work on the 1st gen highlander without spacers for the rear to keep the rim from touching the strut.
