2004 Es330 Wheel/rim Upsizing With Tires

[2004ES330GTA]

Hi everyone.

I have a kinda funny question to you.

I have ES330 year 2004, with 16 inch rims on it. and it has winter tires.

So, I decide to buy Original Lexus Rims to put all season tires for spring, summer, and fall.

I found a Lexus GS430 Rims, which is 17 inch x 8 inch.

I know that 17 inch x 7 inch will fit on ES330, cuz I saw other ES330 with 17 inch x 7 inch rims with 215/55/R17 V-rated tires.

But does anyone can tell me that 17 x 8 will fit on my car?

and Costco guys sugest that ES330 will have better handling with 235/50/R17 followed by Michelin's Vehicle Recommand Tires Manual.

So, I am thinkin to put 235/50/R17 tires on the new rims.

In short, can you tell me that 17 x 8 will fit on ES330 Year 2004~2006?

Please update.

Thanks.

PS. can also anyone tell me any good or bad between 215/55/R17 and 235/50/R17 ??

Thank you for your time to read =)

Do you know the offset of the wheels?

I just purchased a set of OE ES 350 17" wheels (getting them next month) with an offset of 45 & rim is 17 x7 J.

I wouldn't go any larger than 215 55 17 personally......I don't think the 235 will fit.....you will have rubbing issues.

I dont know if GS or LS wheels will fit because of the offset. The GS and LS are RWD...
