just wondering if anybody has tried putting sc430 rims on a es300

It's been done a couple times from my knowledge. Here's a pic from one member:



And more pics of another ES with SC430 rims are found here.

Dont know if its just me, but they look good on the car they were designed, but seem a little awkward for an ES? What does everyone else think?

ya i think it should stay on a sc430,but they told me not to paint my lexus baby blue

Those rims look alright. I think the '97-'99 ES 15" wheel is a nice design, but would look sweet if they were at least 17".

they look decent and still hold a nice luxury look to em... youll probably have to buy spacers though.. theyll fit

thanks...i was going to try putting the rx rims, but i don't they would fit. anybody know what size spacers for the sc rims?

Since this tire/wheel package was not orginally designed for the ES, make SURE of these things:

First, that there is enough clearance in the wheel wells that the suspension can compress fully and the wheels turn full left and right without rubbing or banging in the wells....or hitting anything else.

Second, that the brake rotors are not cut off from their cooling air supply. Otherwise you could wind up with warped rotors, glazed-over pads, or overheated brake fluid.

Third, that your spare is a matching size ( or close) so that the final-drive unit is not strained if you have to drive with it.

If all this checks out OK....enjoy.

5mm spacer should do it

I don't think the sc wheels are that great anyway. I think it's funny how they look like big flat plates. I would much rather have the rx330 wheels on my car than those sc wheels.
