car looks good... daytime pics a must though!!!

You really should check out www.seloc.net. They are very cool and laid back, even to those of us that don't own a Lexus. We do lots of meets and greets and just have fun. Not just standing around talking about who has the biggest motor, we drink too....

The tires are actually 245-35-20(I believe).... And the car rides pretty good still, its not a rough ride at all..IMO

It'll be Sat before I post daytime pics.. I don't drive the ES everyday by the time I get home most evenings its dark...

To all of those inviting me to the meet and greets in the A... I will definitely come out soon..

(Oh yeah.. how do u get the snippets of previous posts in your replies??.. I'm new don't blast me.. I saw on the quick post the little check box... but I couldnt select it )

Anyone know about the "Sevas" line of rim? Pros or Cons. Yes I know Sevas are shown by one of the CL vendor.

I'd be curious as to what the offset and/or backspacing is for your wheels--a 245-wide tire is more than an inch wider (tread width, that is) than the OEM tires; such a wider tire could theoretically create rubbing issues when turning the wheel full crank...or stick out past the fender a bit (not a big deal if you're into that kind of look), w/o the proper offset for such a larger wheel.

I'd also be curious as to how much such a wheel/tire combo weighs, relative to the weight of the stock combo--unsprung weight does affect performance/fuel economy/braking...not too drastic a difference, but not a completely-negligible one either.

This guy says that he doesnt rub and it doesnt ride like **** at all... and i think it looks damn nice... looks like my buddies 645 on 22's

Saw a black Camry (Es350 same thing) today at Lowes running Nitto at 225 35 40zr20 on chrome on black rims and it look good. I was going to take a picture with my cell phone camera but it craped out with a dead battery, of course.

So which one was it--225-35 or 225-40?

osokuko

Oops sorry about that - Nitto 225 35 ZR 20

The tires dont stick out from the fender at all (I'd have to check with the hubby for offset and all that other stuff) .... I do however, notice when reversing and turning the wheel, a slight grind.. I assume its the wheel rubbing... I am going to have that checked out to make sure..

As far as braking.. I haven't noticed any decrement in efficiency...

Even on the stock wheels, I thougth the performance (at high speeds) left a lot to be desired. I don't find the car performing any worse now.

Fuel economy.. it has decreased slightly (don't have numbers just the trips to the gas station)

toneman

That was one thing I was afraid might occur...

But thanks for the overall feedback on the dubs, nevertheless!!!

What ever happened to the daylight picture?

Bump, daylight pics? Im about to do this and i think im going to go for a staggered set of 20's and lower a tiny bit.

I was at the dealership today and they had a showroom ES350/TP on 20", really looked good so I thought I would share this with everyone. tire size for all (4) tires are 245/35/20. I liked the way it filled in the fender gap too. Picture one.
