tires

Sup guys,

I have a lexus es300 (1995) and I upgraded my stock wheels to a 2003 lexus 330 stock wheels, I am going from 15 inch to 16 inch wheels. What tires should I go with 205/60/r16 or 225/60/r16 thanx guys!

Just to keep with the stock rating and performance, I would stick with 205/60-16 tires. It wouldn't hinder your suspension or handling in any way, other than the slightly larger wheel size

Nice to see a '95 ES with '03 ES wheels. Good upgrade mod for sure. I have the same setup on my '01 ES (you can see it in the picture of my sig). Do you have pics of the wheels on your ES to share?
