Default 19'' or 20''?

I need your opinion. Which size would look better on a 98 ES??? 19 or 20??
Does anyone have 20's on their car and have a pic??

20's are probably too big to put on that car, especially if you want to drop it any.

I would go with 19's. I really wish I would have gotten 19's for mine, but for $85 per rim brand new I couldnt argue.

I want new wheels 18s and a intrax drop looks clean but big wheels are so in right now, I might try foose 20's instead of 19's , there the same diameter tire 25.2 inches for 19 and 25.3 for 20 and only $100 more for the 20's. I haven't seen or heard of any es with a drop and a 225/30/20 tire, I have seen es with no drop on dubs( and the drop makes a huge difference) Plus the es's on cardomain didn;t have 01 tailights, hids, etc. I think it would work, there putting 22's on s500 and Im seeing 350z on dubs also and they look good.

the big wheel might be in on some cars....but common guys...the type of body style the ES has only flows well with 18-19s


We dont have big bodys......and its not how big you go either


I saw a maxiama yesterday on some 20 inch chrome cheapies.... that was definitley a ghetto cheezy look.

You drive a "Lexus" keep it clean.....unless you have a big body like our boy IcEnPinKi

I agree with Gato...

Go with 19's, but make sure you don't go over 19's...


Quick Reply: 19'' or 20''?
