Default Will 17 inch Toyota Avalon wheels fit on my GS?

Hey guys!

My brother just bought a 2014 Avalon and he is selling it to me for next to nothing. I am planning to use them for my 2014 Lexus GS 350 RWD Luxury package as a winter tire setup. Will these wheels fit?

They look like these.....

Basically free wheels for the winter? Why not? Lol

Edit: Google the bolt pattern for the Avalon in comparison to the GS

I have 19" RCF staggard wheels with Michelin PSS summer rubber. I dont want to run those in the winter. These will be for winter use only so dont really care for looks. These will be my beater wheels lol.

I did a google search and they both have same bolt pattern but my main concern is disc brake clearance.

I don't think they will fit due to the brakes

The Avalon wheels should fit, especially over the rear wheels, because it is 17" x 7", with the same bolt pattern of 5x4.5", and the same positive 45 mm offset.
The GS350's space saving spare wheel is 17", and it is to be fitted at the rear only.

The Avalon wheels certainly won't fit over the front of the F Sport which has larger 14" discs and larger twin piston callipers, however they should fit over the GS350 Luxury front discs and callipers.

Measure the internal diameter of the Avalon wheels to make sure they fit over the front disc and callipers.

Aren't your GS350 Luxury OEM wheels already 18" x 8"?
Are you after the Avalon's wheel styling?
Or are you downsizing for greater ride comfort?

the regular calipers vs the fsport calipers they are just about the same in terms of thickness. so if a wheel doesn't clear the fsport calipers, i doubt it will clear the luxury

Thanks everyone for your help. I guess the best way is to test fit them to front of car.

I have used the space saver spare wheel on the front of my F-sport. Fits and works fine.

There you go OP.
That means the Avalon's 17" x7" will fit the front of the GS350.

Doesn't the manual recommend the space saver wheel only be fitted to the rear for superior steering and safety?

Worst case scenario is that you'll need spacers.

diameter, maybe, but fitting over the calipers thickness has nothing to do with diameter and width of wheel
