Wicked, totally wicked. I love how the blue paint contrasts with the dark rims. It's rare to see that dark blue on an ES.

Thanks! Could be the lighting but it's actually a black ES.

"TEIN S.TECH LOWERING SPRINGS TOYOTA CAMRY 07+ 4CYL 4DR SKC52-AUB00"

Are they the same thing ? Thanks !
I used 2007-2011 Toyota camry springs on mine

I just purchased a new 2017 ES300h hybrid and wanted to make it look better. Looking at your wheel and tires set up makes car look very nice. I wanted to ask you a series of questions as follows. I appreciate your help on this.

What is the model number of the springs Megan racing?
Is the ride quality better then stock in-terms of handling?
I wanted to know what tire size and brand you are using? Is the tire noise louder then stock?
Just to confirm that all rim sizes are 20x8.5 with 35 offset?

Thank you for your help.

I used lowering springs from a 2007-2011 toyota camry. Problem is our car 300h is heavier so mine sags in the bag because of heavy battery pack. The ride is nice surprisingly alittle stiff but I like it. Handling is sharper. My tire size is 235 35 r20 and no road noise at all. All wheels are 20x8.5 with 35 offset. I like that setup because I can rotate them. Alittle to get used to because obviously the es stock is very comfortable. But like I said suprisingly smooth you'll notice some stiffness. But I think I'll go for the BC COILOVERS so I can set my height because it's actually made for the heavy car. I don't rub at all. But I love the look. Everyone breaks neck because it's the GS and IS that really have all the aftermarket stuff available. Hope this helps. Ask questions anytime I always answer.

Default Will 19" factory GS350 wheels fit on 16 ES350?

I am looking to change the wheels on my 2016 ES350. I don't like the look/style of the original 17" wheels.

I would like to put 19" ES350 wheels on, but am concerned with the offset and width. Has anyone done this swap? Will I have issues with fit/clearance due to the difference in offset and/or rim width?

This is what I am looking at buying:Rim

Diameter:19Color:

PVD BLACK CHROME

Offset:45Type:ORIGINAL FACTORY OEMNumber of Bolts:5Hub Bore:60.1Rim Structure:One PieceBolt Pattern:5x114.3Quantity:SET 4Rim Width:8

What is the tire size? Any issues with rubbing?

And the Black on Black looks great! I'm also considering having the chrome trim wrapped in black vinyl as well.

Looks Awesome. Nice cards. I have Lexus ES 350 2014 Black

I also ordered Niche rims 19x8.5 all rims and al tires - 235/35/19. I also ordered springs to lower the car by 1.5 inch ( Toyota Camry 07-2011 springs ). I have couple questions If someone can answer:

1. will 235/35/19 sit perfectly with 19x8.5 rims ( 35 offset ). Or did I have to go with 235/45/19 to protect rims from pat holes Orr rubbers? Or maybe I had to go with 18 but I could not find good 18 rims.

2. Are those Toyota springs better than Megan racing springs if I want to lower my car ? I’ve seen many people used Toyota springs

3. Why do you consider BC racing coil overs better than Toyota springs to lower car ? Sorry I am new to all of this.
