Official ES Aftermarket/OEM Wheels Thread
Excellent! I can finally add to this thread! I couldn't wait any longer on the suspension upgrade components to come in. I went ahead and took pics. Yes, I know it needs lowering and 1.5" of lowering is on the way from Australia.

20x8.5 Cattivo Design (think it has a 35 offset)
Toyo Proxes 4 - 225/35/ZR20
Steering is tight, ride is a little rough due to lack of tire. I due everything possible to not hit pot holes and curbs because there is limited side wall which gives the wheel protection. Oh and no scrubbing at all, ive loaded my car with people and still never srubbed on the fender wall. Everything has fit perfectly from the go. Im going to try to put thicker tires on next time i get new rubber and i'll report back

2003 ES 300 wheels
I seen the pics of the 03 Es 300 with the 20 x 9" wheels posted by MoreMGD32. I just bought a staggered set for my 03 ES 300 19 x 8.5" front and 19 x 9.5" in the back...brought it to our local "custom" shop and they told me that its not possible to fit a 9.5 on the rear. Anyone know if this is true or not? Because I don't think that 1/2" would make that much of a difference. Anyone have any opinions let me know.

20's
I can't get over the fact that you were able to fit 20's on here. I was told that it would fit and if they did I would have had to go with a 20 series tire. So instead I went with a staggered set of 19's, then they told me that 9.5" was too deep in the back. Do you know if thats true?
