Rubbing Problems
Hello to all... First time on this forum..
I have 2007 ES 350 on 20"
When driving alone the ride is nice... with my son the back, when I hit bump on the road my rear wheels will rub or should I say scrap.
Any ideas what I should do?
Oh my son is 11 year old and weight 120 lbs.
I already shave of the fenders and it still rubbing.. My car not slam or lower..
HELP!!!!!

Rear tires/rims setup seem realllly big for the ES.
Probably barely fits with no one in the back, then when some weight is added (kids, luggage) that little wiggle room you had is gone..
Might wanna try to roll the fenders if you really like the rims.
22s are gigantic for a ES to handle, Especially w/ 275 width tires.

rims are too wide and tires are too big. check an online tire size calculator to find out what specs you are supposed to have. you can just throw some rims on your car, you have to do some research if you want it to ride right

I have 20's on my 2007 ES and I never had that problem with the trunk full and 2 kids in the back seat. One kid about 60lbs. and the other 120lbs. Your tires are too wide, I think.
This is my setup and no issues at all, even rides great!

Hope this helps!

damn 22's on an ES????? I have to see a picture of that. I would say switch the tires to a narrower size and or shave he rear fenders. I recently went with a wider Michellin on my 3GS and had rubbing and solved it with a metal file and a small saw at a local shop

Stick with 19's. You get better performance, no rub issues, and still have a good looking sized rim...
20's are, and always have been........
overkill.
