I want to put 19's on my 1992 es300, could someone tell me if have to get any modifications on the car to fit them on and if so will there be rubbing when I turn...im really in the dark right now so any comments would be helpful....thanks

Are you aware that the speedometer and odometer will not give you accurate speed readouts due to the different circumference of the new tire size???

your are going from a 15" to a 19", that's a big jump. You may have to roll you fenders or cut them.

try going to http://www.tirerack.com and see if this combo is even possible.
I might suggest that you contact Brandon on the Wheels & Tire forum of this site. He will be able to help you, too.

I wouldn't recommend 19" on an 92-01 ES. There's no way to keep the outside diameter close to stock, as amf1932 warns. On a 2002 or newer, there IS a way to match the stock diameter by using very low profile tires on 19" rims (due to a slightly larger size 215/60-16 OEM fitment), but on a 92 you're talking fitment problems (fender rolling, rubbing on suspension parts), let alone speedometer/odometer accuracy issues. 18" with a drop looks plenty big on the older cars. I've got 17" and people always think they're 18" because of the relatively small fender arches, especially in the rear. With 18" and a 40 profile tire, you should be able to keep the outside diameter close to stock.

Ok...I checked tirerack.com and it wont let me select 19's so I guess I'll go with 18's, also what kind of lowering kit do you all recommend and how much should I drop it?

H&R 1.4" or Intrax 1.6" somewhat harsher ride. Eibach's dont drop it enough.


You could fit 19" but they would look massive. You would have to get the narrowest rim and tire possible!
Maybe a 225/35/19 on 19X8 would fit without rubbing. There is a member who has 19" Giovanni Koba's on his I believe so it is possible!
