20x8.5 is the most i would go, and even thats pushin it....i know some companies make 20x7.5 now for cars...that would be ur best option...also run a 35 series tire

20's is too big for the 2000 body style. Maybe 19's....

Like others have said, 20's are possible but will look doggone weird with the ES body style

You can find some pics of ES w/ 20's here.

I think the frist black es looks good with those wheels because of the lip. The second black es wheels look too big though.

THE BIGGER THE BETTER!. Just make sure they dont rub and you dont live in NYC( GIANT POTHOLES)or you'll end up spending a fortune on tires.

totally disagree........it's not how big you go...but more the quality and stance that makes a statement.

18-19s best fit for ES...with the right drop.




check out how mean the A/C looks on 19s

The attached wheel is one of many that we carry in 20x7.5 with FWD offset. I can also get you the properly sized tires.

This wheel design is better suited that some of the flat flaced wheel (to run 20s on a ES)
