Default Found a great deal on Wheels (Craigslist), need fitament info fast!!!

I have a 1997 ES300 with pitted/chips wheels, found the following listing locally, and wanted to know if these wheels will bolt-on to my ES300 without spacers, etc.

Thanks in advance

might need some spacers. I believe those are the 2GS wheels which should be 16 x 7 with +50mm offset. don't take my word for it, but I think they will rub the struts in the rear.

Thanks for the reply, I will pass the, up. I have never been a fan of spacers.

I can confirm that you need spacers to fit these on an ES, cause I have them on mine! It's totally worth it though, they look sick as hell.

What size spacers, and where would I buy them from? Are spacers safe for regular 80mph driving on the freeway?

I'm not too sure, to be honest. The guy at the shop I went to to get the tires mounted had a pair laying around and just gave them to me. There are plenty of places on the internet to buy spacers from, sorry I can't help you with the size.

As far as driving, yes. I've driven 80-90 and not had any problems. I would definitely exercise caution, though. One thing - when I first got them put on the guy told me to drive for about 50 miles or so and then check all the lugnuts to make sure they're tight.

Hope this helps!
