Default Axis Mod 19" on my 05 ES330 :)

well not yet soon tho, they are coming in on wednesday. im getting the maxis lip system. 19x8 with a 45 offset. is a 45 offset on an 8" wheel good for our car? i lessens the inner clearance by 8mm. to my eyes the break caliper looks like its pretty close to the wheel already. would the 35 offset be better?

ive never liked that wheel design.. well.. any wheel that curves back like that to get a larger lip looks a bit off to me

yeah its silver. i really like how the stock silver wheels and paint kinda flow together, looks really clean. hope these wheels blend in too should i get a regular rubber valve stem or something else? the wheel is silver with machined polished lip

the tire profile is too low i guess for many of the places to do. 225/35/19 is just not enought tire i guess. walmart tried to do it, they said if the tire had enough "flex" it could be done. so he tried, couldint get it to worked. he said the tire machine just doesn't have enough power, didn't scratch the lip. gave me a few free valve stems and sent me to discount tire. when i walked in and asked if their machines were capable of mounting 225/35/19 he said yah. but after he took down all my info, he asked to see the tires. went back to talk to another guy and came back and told me they couldn't do it. discount tire couldn't do it because the one i went to need their "cage" machine to do it. the only safe way for them to mount the tire is to use their cage machine. so i tried goodyear, SAID they could do it, but they were going to close in half an hour, imma try in the morning. hopefully ill have pics by then
