What size are your snow tires and are they on stock rims or aftermarket?

If they are on stock, then you should be able to.

The bolt pattern on the 98 ES I think is the same as newer models. (5x114.5)

The OEM tires/wheels are the following:

1998: 205/65-15, 205/60-16 (will fit)

2002-2004: 215/60-16

2005-2006: 215/60-16, 215/55-17

2007-2009: 215/55-17

If your snows are on 15" rims they may appear small in the wheel well.

You will also want to make sure that the difference in the speedometer is less than 2% given the OEM size and your size wheel.

Here is a link to a useful wheel size calculator. Plug the OEM size in as reference 1 and your snows in as reference 2. Don't worry about the rim offset and width...just uncheck that box.

hi steviej,

If one was to use 15" rims for winter wheels, based on the OEM tire/wheel sizes from above on the newer models, wouldn't a 205/70/15 tire be more appropriate and closer to the OEM circumferance than the 205/65/15 stated?

This link might be of help cam...

Many 'Toyota' wheels should be plug & play & have the +45 offset as well.

Hi all, new to the forum and looking forward to buying a new to me used 2005 ES330.

Since we have alot of snow in Toronto, Canada; I prefer to have a set of snow tires for the winter because of safety, better traction. I already have a set of 15" snow tires, so I am hoping to be able to use these on the future ES.

Could someone verify if 15" rims from Toyota Camry (all models) 1992-up (5x114.3mm / 12x1.5 Lug-nut / 60.06mm Bore) will fit 2005 Lexus ES330?

I don't know if the following info from the link above is still correct since it was last updated in 2005:

Lexus ES300 1992-up (5x114.3mm / 12x1.5 Lug-nut / 60.10mm Bore) .

What difference does a 60.06mm bore vs 60.10mm bore make???

Thanks in advance !
