I am in the process of installing some on my car right now. The offset is different, the fronts fit OK but the rears need a spacer which I have coming now. I ordered 5/16" spacers and will let you know how they fit when I get them on.

Default question

which wheel are you going with gs300 - 16 inch or gs400 - 17 inch. and which style wheel?

is the rear spacer an absolute requirement to avoid rubbing on the 1992 es300?.

thanks

I am using the 16" on a 95 ES300. They fit on the front without spacers but they rub the struts on the rears. According to the spacer information I got you can use 5/16" spacers without using longer lug nuts.
