I have a set of 2004 ES that I was going to throw on my 99 GS4. I am not sure if they will even fit. I have been holding off for untill winter comes. Let me know if it works out for you.

Good Luck.

You might need some spacers because the offset of being a FWD but otherwise will fit.

Yeah, i saw some pics from another thread on here and the member had one on his front as temp. wheels.

The GS has a 17x8 ET 50 rim, and the ES has a 16x6 ET 45 setup. So... they'll fit, as they stick out more and are narrower.

I kinda wish it was the opposite since i wanted a set of the OEM GS rims for my car - but dont want to **** with spacers for OEM wheels; that's just lame.

cool, good to know! there is a set of es300 wheels with good tires for sale locally for 100 bucks. This way I can sell my Maya's and get some cash in the pocket for winter projects

Not sure what you mean by stick out more.

Hate to bump this up, but if i use 215/60/16s on 2001 lexus es300 coach edition wheels, i can put them on a 98-05 gs300 right? doing it for snow tires.
