18s are just too small on my car, still searching for a set of 19s that I like.

Wife just picked up a new ES 300h Friday night, tinted the windows Saturday morning and wheels yesterday after they came in.


19x8.5 with +45 offset in black chrome. Doesn't look as soccer mom as it did when she picked it up.

They are Lexani tires in 245/40/19. I didn't notice any difference in the ride quality vs. the 17's, but that might be because the car only has 150 miles on it, so never really got used to the original ride.

Tires play a big factor in ride quality. I'm not familiar with Lexani tires. I used to run Pirelli but they discontinued the type I had before so I'm running Hankook now...which are surprisingly very quiet. Anyway, your tires being 40 series shouldn't hurt ride quality much; mine are 35 series.

I had Lexani tires on my GS. Very good budget tire.

They were pretty cheap, super quiet so far, and the ride felt the same to me. Lets see how they wear.

Where the heck do you live? I believe the ES is the top selling Lexus sedan.

Finally upgraded to 19s, tires coming soon. If winter isn't bad here in Maryland I'll probably have them on before spring time

What are the specs on the wheels? i am thinking about going with these next month...

Specs are 20x10.5 Rear and 20x9 Front with a 235/35 tire Front and a 255/35 Tire in the rear.

I am planning on lowering the car on camry spirngs but i have to make sure first that they fit on the 2016 model the same way they fit on the 2013-15.

I don't think you'll be able to get the rear. When I had 18s,18x8.75+35 was almost flush in the front

The 19s are 8.5 wide +37 in the front and it tucking. The rear are 9.5 wide +39 and it's almost perfect maybe a plus +37 would of been better to flare the quarter panel.
I will be running 245 40 19 all around
