Since the GS400 wheels are 17X8 you have to use 1/4" spacers in ther rear, the front fit fine. I"m not too sure of the size of the GS300 wheels though I think they maybe 16X7 or something.

if i remember correctly, theyre 225/55. i have some spacers from pep boys. do your wheels still sit on the hub? or are the bolts supporting them? also, did you use the stock bolts or extended? any chance we can see a pic of the spacer? thanks!

I know it's not for an ES, but around here in Orlando today, I saw a '95-'96 Avalon with '00-'01 factory ES wheels (the 16" 3-spoke design). They really make the Avalon stand out, esp. on a 10-yr old model like that. Man I wish I had my camera with me

Default 17" Avalon wheels on ES300

Hey guys, I just mounted these on yesterday. I think they look very clean and way better than stock. They came off of a 2007 Toyota Avalon. They are a light gunmetal type finish (this style rim has that finish). What is cool is they are direct bolt on ready. Even the Lexus center caps fit. The tire size I went with is 225-45-17. It rides very nice (no rubbing at all...even with 4 adults) and looks great (I think). Sorry about the poor quality camera phone pictures.
