they fit..............like staxxin said, while most didnt, some 350s did come with the 300 wheels....what big brakes are you referring to rominl? now if the AWD 350s dont have these "big brakes" then that might explain why 17s wont fit the RWD350s

It's not a difference of 350 or 300, it's the difference of RWD and AWD.

Almost all RWD GS300, GS350 and GS430 (now GS460) came with 18" wheel and summer tires as standard.

Almost all AWD GS300 (smaller brake) and GS350 (bigger brake) came with 17" wheel and all season tires as standard.

And they are all interchangable.

Actually almost all RWD gs300s came with 17s, they did not put the 18s on the gs300s, they did for gs350s.

Oh, that's new to me. Up here in Seattle where we only get AWD GS300 and GS350 and when I learned that all you guys down there are getting RWD GS350 with 18" and nice summer tires instead of runflat yokocrap, I assumed RWD GS300 was like that also.
