Default Avalon 17" wheels on ES

Anyone have a pic or know how these wheels will fit and look in a 98 ES? Sorry if this has been asked/covered.

you'd probably be the first one to have them and i'm pretty sure it would fit.

Agreed... I'm 99.9% sure they'll fit.

Those wheels are similar to the ones on a 2000 Platinum Edition ES300 (except of course they have the Lexus center caps)

Default My 2001 ES300 with 17" Avalon Wheels (Lexus center caps)

I wanted to show what mine looks like. 17" Avalon Wheels (Lexus center caps fit right in). They were off of a 2007 Avalon. The tire size I used is 225-45-17. They fit good and do not rub at all. What do you think?

they look decent nothing that great. however i think it would have looked good if the spokes were thinner instead of these wide ones you have.

Looks clean. Not sure if any better than my stock ES wheels though. I know they made some terrible stock wheels for the 3ES, so nice improvement.
