My 99 lexus es300 oem wheels are junk. I got is wheels from a nissan 300zx non-turbo for $60, and it looks awesome on my es300, brand new tires 205/60/16, No spacer needed.

That looks great! great job!

JetsonES

That looks great! And 60 bucks is a no brainer, that's like scrap prices. Did they come with tires too?

vietbboy85

No, its doesnt come with tires, just for the wheels.

JetsonES

Still a steal at that price. I love the 5 spoke design, excellent fitment too. Did you use hubcentric rings as the center bore is 6mm larger?

vietbboy85

Yes, i did install the hubcentric ring 60mm id 66mm od from ebay. id

JetsonES

Awesome, sounds like you're good to go and they really look spectacular on the car with the offset. Great find.

Looks great.
How'd you get the stock Lexus emblem to pop in?

I would have thought the 300ZX would have had much wider wheels, or even stanced, being a RWD car.

vietbboy85

it was the stock wheels hub cap from my es300, its just pop right in, its just loose a little bit, but its not going anywhere though.
300ZX non-turbo wheels are 7.5" wide, the 300zx Turbo the Two Rear wheels are 8.5" wide, that will not fit on the ES300.

lol, i watched your Youtube video about Timing belt and Water pump replacement 2 weeks ago. thanks for the Video, It was easier then looking at the book.

JetsonES

He makes some great videos, for sure.

7.5" isn't too wide for the ES300? I've got 7" wide wheels on my Solara (same suspension setup as the Camry/ ES) and the 215mm rear tires are barely rubbing the struts. What offset are you running without spacers?

Thanks

I had no rubbing issues when I had 225/45/18s on 18x7.5 wheels with no spacers on my ES 330.

vietbboy85

45mm offset, i run it with the 205/60/16 tires. Its about 8mm gap between the tire and strut. If i run it with the 215mm tires i think its would rubbing the struts. its would be nicer with the 215mm tires, but i dont want to put the spacer on the rear wheels.

JetsonES

I am running 8.5" Sc430 wheels and only got slight rubbing on the rear over extreme dips and bumps. A 5mm spacer cleared it up but I may reduce section width on the next set of tires to see if I can eliminate the spacers
