2010 ES350 17" tire size Jump?
The stock 215-55-17 has a diameter of 26.3". The wheel tire set I have on another vehicle are 225-55-17 with a 26.8 diameter.
Can I use a 225?
Will I case a malfunction trying this wheel set out that has no wheel sensors?
The stock wheel wells need a larger tire and touch wider rim!
Thanks,
John

John,
The rolling diameter would be fine, you would still be within OE spec for your vehicle. Also, just by putting these wheels on without a sensor will not cause a malfunction, it will cause the TPMS light to come on because the vehicle will no longer be receiving a signal from the old wheels. However, once you reinstall the old wheels it will go off. All of the data The Tire Rack has compiled shows this would still be a great fit. Originally, I saw you posted 255/55R17 and later changed it so I am also updating my response to reflect this new tire size. Sorry if there was any confusion.

Obviously, make sure that the bolt pattern is the same (5x114.3), offset is close (+35 to +50ish) and that the center bore fits properly over the hub... you may want hub centering rings (available from the wheel manufacturer, or online many places) if it isn't an exact fit...
Unless the other wheels are Toyota/Lexus wheels, chances are you will need 12x1.5mm lug nuts as well...
