That's a '97-'01, don't know the exact year but it is extremely clean.

You'll have a tough time fitting anything wider than 8 inch wheels and 225 tires on a '92 to '96, and from what I remember the fit requirements for the next generation are similar.

You could do a search in the ES forum, I'm sure this issue has been discussed with the 97-01's but I haven't paid as much attention.

This car is using a 19x7.5 up front with a 225/35/19 tire, and a 19x8.0 out back with a 255/35/19.

The rims will run 2600/set in 19" for silver polish (pictured). The kit price is not set yet (new item) so i'll ask Japan over the weekend.

I would like to know the price for 18" wheels and tires, shipped to IL. Also, how about the kit too? This will be for a 97 ES300. Where is it from? My friend owns a shop and I would preferably like to get it through him, but I need to know how and where to get it. Thank you! ~Shannon~

Do you have any kits for the 92-96 ES? If so, I'd take that info over to the ES forum when you've got things ready to take orders, there are alot of people over there looking for kits but having trouble getting them from Japan. You could probably sell a few of them very quickly.

Here's one of the first-gen ES3s we did for a customer in Japan.

Never mind, the pic is too big... anyone know how to fix this?

Up to 19x8.5 will fit, but offset must be +35 to clear the rear strut tubes. Our VP of Sales has a '98 ES3 with 18x8.5 HRE 448Rs... I'll see if I can find a pic.
