IMO the 20's look a little to big for the ES. I personally would go with 19x8

You want to put spinners on a Lexus??? Well, it's your car and money but I can't imgine that looking good. Just my opinion but spinners look better on trucks/suv's or old hooptie's. You must be on the younger side and maybe this is appealing. I can understand that. I don't mean any harm but just want to say a lexus is a car that begs to be tastefully modded. It's the identity of the name and it's history. We know people can be different and go outside of the norm but that doesn't mean it will look appropriate. However, if all the people you hang with feel the same way you do, it will be more acceptable.

If you just have to get spinners, that Dub is not attractive. Davin makes a few nice looking spinners that are very high quality. As for size, I wouldn't put a 20 on an ES. Won't look right and probably won't fit right.

Again, these are just my opinions with no harm intended. Just looking out for a fellow CL member. In the end, it's your money and car and you can do what you want...opinions are just that...opinions.

If you what to put 20's on a ES, that's fine but you have to get the right size 20's. Those Dub wheels only come 20x8.5 which will make the wheels stick out past the fenders, which would look nasty. At www.d2autosport.com we have 20inch wheels that are made to fit front wheel drive car such as yours. For an example


Please feel free to PM me for more info about 20's for your car.

Just take your time and look around. Any particulare style u like? 19s and a drop will kill any forced 20s/no drop car.

I don't know about that 1SICK, I don't think you've ever seen a ES with FWD 20's, the right size tire and a drop. I think you may change your thinking a little. Here's a pic of one of the new members (NJLEX20"s) with 20's and a drop on his ES.


It's a bad pic but this car looks good.
