Default 20's on the new ES

Does anyone know if 20's will be able to fit the new ('02) ES300's? The car looks to be larger than its predecessor and it looks like there is more room in the fender well.

I dunno, comes with 16" standard, so +3 is 19", you may have to shave something.

I know it would be pushing it. My SC400 came with 16's, but I had 20x8.5's on it before with no rubbing. I would think the new ES could take 20's better than the old SC's.

I think it would work maybe not a staggered fitment but definetly a 20x8.5 with a 245/35/20 i have personally done (not by choice) put 20's on the older es300 so im pretty sure you can... Best way to see is just test fit..

Anybody know the OE tire size of the new ES? I haven't measured one yet, but I think Lextacy is on the right track- with a fairly narrow tire like the 245/35zr20, it might just work.

I've built as big as 19x8.5 for the first and second-gen ES- removal of the rear fender-arch trim is required.
