That's the answer to the question I've had concerning what to replace my ES300h wheels with. Here is a teaser pic. The wheels are 19" x 7.5" I'll be getting them mounted this weekend.

My only concern is the space between the tire and strut.

What tire size are you going with?
Not much room there.

You could use a spacer if it hits the strut

All Done!
I went with 245/40/19's
Michelin MXV4's

One more and the wheels did clear the struts. Whew!

looks way better than stock

Very nice (and good to know).
How the ride on 19s?

Did you go from 17 to 19 or 18 to 19?

diggdyone

Thanks
I went from 17's to 19's.
The car turns sharply without the extra wobble out back. The ride is still soft on the smooth roads and taunt yet soft on the rough stuff. I drove a 2007 TL Type S on 17's before this car and the ES on 19's is far smoother on either surface.

Very nice! I like it!

What a great idea! Those are the hybrid RX wheels right? I would like to see them in chrome.

The wheels are from a standard model RX, because they have the smoke paint. I did not want the bright silver paint found on the hybrid RX wheels.

No spacers needed correct?

Looks nice.

No spacers and I used the same lugs and locks. You can fit your hand between the wheel and strut.
