Default 20" wheels on '92 ES 300?

Has anyone put some 20" wheels on a '92 Lexus ES 300?
I want to do this with my ride but I've been told that 18" wheels is the biggest I can go without modifications. What modifications are needed to put the 20" on. will I have to adjust the wheel well and fender. Will the tires rub.

Please dont put 20s on your ES man, it just is not made to hold a wheel that large.

Maybe you can try to squeeze some 19s on and do some modding?

Cool

To each his own, but that looks just as silly as '80's sedans with 22-24's...

Dude, please don't do it. The ES is not the car for 20s. SOme 18s and a drop will do wonders.

yeah stay with the 18 inches trust me they will still look just as classy! Just pick some with a nice deep dish look and a polished lip and you'll be ok

I have 17s on my 92.
Just dont forget big rim less rubber. I live in Ohio and the
streets are crap! So I went with 17s because I didnt want to keep bending
rims up. I think 18s will do the trick and keep it sharp.
