starks3244 Posted March 28, 2006 Posted March 28, 2006 So I have been looking into rims for my 1992 ES300 for a while and I decided to order the RX330 18X7 chrome wheels. The ES300 size is 18X7.5 but when I ordered them It said it fits the ES300. So I figured what the why not. Now I have to get tires put on and balanced but all the people around are saying they probably not going to fit! Some people say I am going to need spacers, and some say that eveything is going to fit alright. I dont wanna buy the tires untill I know if the wheels are going to fit or not... Does anybody know?? or do I have to go on the Ray Gibson and Claude Banks killing spree? and another thing, if I get spacers arn't they dangerous so that the wheel can come off while I am driving down the street with a fly !Removed! biatttch? please help!!!

starks3244 Posted March 30, 2006 Author Posted March 30, 2006 I think they might actually fit!! Last night I put on the just the rim without the tires and it spun around fine, was flush with the fender, and didnt look like it would hit anything... we will find out saturday if they fit for sure, I will keep you guys posted... thanks!
