Default 19' rims on 03 es 300

what do u think of 19' rims on the 03 es300. Would it be better to have 235/35/19 or 245/35/19 all around. Will 19's rub any without any mods and how would the comfort of the ride be on some good tires.

It really depends on what wheels you go with. 1pc wheels are a little more limited in fitment. The custom wheels can be built perfectly for the car.

its not about the diameter so much, more of the width and offsets.
do some research on offsets and you will learn, as our cars cannot take very wide/wild wheels. what d2 is correct, custom wheels have a better choice, as you choose your widths in correspondance with the offsets.
goodluck

what you just said is kinda/almost like i wanna phd but i dont want to go to school.

but your options without modifying are still possible. just unlikely with a 19"
it doesnt hurt to know more, so do some research.
im going with 19"s as well.
Goodluck
