You're going to need a camber kit in the front and back. I can definitely see the back tires turning inward. Your treads won't last a year like that.

Whats up man! **** looks good man! you wont need camber kits unless you lower it but i wouldnt suggest it. I had put 20's on my 95 ES and it worked fine till my springs started to wear than i started to have some scuffing of the tires when i hit huge bumps. Are you having any rubbing issues yet? can you fit ppl in your back seat without scraping?

If The Rims Are The Right Size And Offset U Shouldnt Have A Problem With Rubbin. I Have My Es On Air And And When I Slam It All The Way Down It Still Dont Rub. And Nothing Was Cut Out Of The Wheel Well.

Those 20's are a nice choice on your ES troung. Besides needing a drop, I think you'll almost certainly need bigger brakes to provide better stopping for the bigger wheels. You could start upgrading brake pads (i.e. Axis, Hawk, etc.) and then get into calipers later on, or you could do the whole thing at one time

A member here, sk8er251cc, had Intrax springs and KYB GR-2 struts in his 2000 ES Platinum. Very nice combo IMO

very nice ....good choice on the rims ......your es-300 looks crazy tight with 20s ...........have you noticed any diffrence in the tranny shifts since you put 20s on ...i heard the tranny works harder and you burn more gas when you put 20s on the car ..have you noticed a diffrence ?

yea...i noticed that i have been filling gas alot more often than i did before with the 18's on...but as for the tranny and gas, currently my check engine light came on and its something with the o2 sensors in bank 1 i need to replace that asap cuz the fuel injection and the tranny responses differently now, it takes longer for the car to shift gears than usually and im not sure if its the o2 sensor or the 20's. Im still waiting for one of my boys to get his hands on an o2 sensor for me. $300 bucks for a sensor is kill'n me
