Default What factory Lexus wheels fit on 97-01 ES without mods?

Looking to see if there are any other factory Lexus or Toyota wheels that fit on the 97-01 ES300.

I am thinking of buying some that are 17" or 18" to run a lower profile tire on them. Something like the IS350 split five spokes would be awesome but I am not a fan of the idea of adding spacers, extending wheel studs, and staggered fitment on a FWD car.

Have any of you guys tried other Lexus wheels on the ES that fit without mods? Please post pics and personal experiences.

Previous generation (circa 2006) GS300 17" wheels fit perfectly. I have them on mine

RX330/350 wheels seem to work.

If you look in here there are some OEM options... BUT you have to sift thru the whole thread...

I had 17" IS300 wheels on my Solara. Had to run 3mm spacers in the rear to clear the strut. Depends on the brand of tire, some (of the same size) are slightly wider. I was running 215/50/17 to match stock diameter.

Should have no problems fitting the 3ES, depending on its suspension setup.

Which of these rims in this thread require no spacers or anything like that?? Just can pop them on Michelin tires without any extra work?

Default My new set of Black Chrome 7 spokes

Hey ES owners.
I always wanted to change my stock 3-double spokes rims to '05-06 ES330 (6-spoke) ones.
Then, I came across '08 es350 style which I didn't really like..until the day I put them on. I was amazed how they changed the look. This set has Black Chrone finish which is pretty rare (at least I didn't see that many).
I live in Chicago now, and currently running 16' winter set wheels. So I can't wait for a weather change.
Id like to know what you guys think of this set up.

Thank you, they look great and fit with no mods. I'm currently looking for a stock set of wheels (15 or 16) in good condition. Open to trading my 17's for them.

Those wheels do look very nice, I'm looking for some 17's for my 2001 ES300. You said those fit with no Mods, when I look up those wheels the Bolt Pattern is 127mm and 98-01 ES300's have a bolt Pattern of 114.3. Am I not finding the correct wheels? Do those 17's on your Lexus have the 114.3 bolt pattern?

Yeah it's the regular bolt pattern, same as stock.
