My stock wheels on my es 330 are flaking and have some curb rash. I found a set of toyota highlander wheels 17 inch in great shape. will the centerbore be the same diameter? I know the highlander wheel has a centerbore of 60.1 mm. I dont know the centerbore of the es wheels. thanks

The Lexus and Toyota center-bores are the same at 60.1mm. Double check the offset on the Highlander rims to see if they'll clear your struts or stick proud of the fender.

 

What year highlander are the wheels from?

 

Thanks. The highlander wheels are from a 2011. I checked the bolt pattern I should be good. I found a offset calculator and it looks like the wheel will stick out 8.5 mm more towards the fender lip and 4.5 mm more towards the strut. That is not much so I am hoping I will have clearance.

The wheel code on the highlander wheels reads 7.5x 17j et35
The stock wheels are supposed to be 7x17j et 37

 

Sounds like it should fit without issue, fairly minor difference compared to the stock wheels.

 

Thanks. I will try them soon. They are 7 spoke and I think they will look good on the car. I got the set of four with lug nuts for $200.

do you pics of the wheel

 

Well I pulled my spare out and it turns out it has a 50mm offset. Bummer I now think the highlander wheels would move my tires out about .820" Now I am not so sure I would have clearance. Anyone need some really nice toyota Highlander wheels ? :-)

 

The stock Lexus ES330/350 wheels are 17x7" with a 50mm offset.

The Highlander wheel at a 35mm offset would mean your wheel would stick 15mm outward (away from the strut, toward the fender).

You can take some measurements to see if it will fit your fender, otherwise you could roll your fenders to clear the tires. My gut feeling is it shouldn't be an issue.

 

The highlander wheels are 7.5 wide so that makes it stick out 15mm plus .25 inches which equals .826".
I will have to put a tire on one of the wheels and put it on the front and try it to see if it rubs. It is gonna be close.

These wheels will degrade the ride quality a little because the same tire is being stretched another half inch.
