Smile OEM Wheel Specs

Does someone have a list (or know where to find the data) of Lexus/Toyota wheel measurements based on model? Including: diameter, width, offset and whatever else is available.

I am looking for a set of 17" wheels for my '98 ES and would prefer to stay with an OEM wheel off another Lexus or even the new Avalon wheel (it looks nice). This info has been difficult to locate so far.

For example, I was informed that the GS wheels have an offset better suited for my ES than say the IS300 wheels. Is this true? It would be pretty easy to know if I had the measurements of each.

Any info would be appreciated along with any personal experience with this. Hell, photos of the ES300 with other Lexus or Toyota wheels would be great too, then I could judge for myself. I guess I need photoshop.

IS wheels are size 17" x 7" with +50 offset. You'll probably need to insert 1/4" spacers on the rear so the tires won't rub against the suspension components. Here's a pic of an ES w/ IS wheels:

Finally a response. Thanks. Those do look nice. Those are +50 offset. Plus 50 would mean that the wheel sits farther in and the hub is closer to the outer face of the wheel, correct? If this is the case, then I can surely see that a small spacer may be required. I would prefer this over the wheel sitting too far out, like a cheap aftermarket wheel.

Do you have any additional pics of an ES with these wheels or the 5 spoke GS V8 wheel?
Thanks

Default GS wheels

Hey guys,
i'm over from turbobricks.com...my dad has a 99 camry. I got him these wheels:


Just want to drop some knowledge incase someone comes looking

the wheels fit beautifuly in the front, but rub on the shock tube or the rear pretty bad. I'm going to try to get a spacer and see what happends. I'll report back.
