Default LS wheels on an ES

Will 18" LS wheels fit a 2013+ ES? I found a set for $200 that are in good shape. Also, have you guys seen the 9 spoke wheels on the ES? I don't know what it would look like.

Try http://www.willtheyfit.com/

just put in your factory specs and then the specs of the new wheels. It'll give you results that show if they'll fit, what effect it will have on your speedo, etc. I'm assuming the LS wheels are larger in diameter than the ES wheels. This will tell you for sure.

Yes, they're 18" vs the current 17" but I could buy lower profile tires and make it all work out.

Depending on package I believe some ES come with 18" so maybe start there for correct tire specs.

The ES comes with either 17 inch wheels and 215/55-17 tires or 18 inch wheels and 225/45-18 tires. The diameters of both wheel and tire combinations are virtually identical. Thus, there would be no issue with regard to the speedometer and odometer. But the question is whether the lug nut positioning on the LS wheels would be the same as that on the ES, and I don't know the answer to that question.

I believe the LS460 (I assume these are LS460 wheels?) has a different bolt pattern. Ls400 and LS430 wheels will work.
