What size tires do you have on there. I was trying to do the same thing to mine for those type wheels.

Looks good. I recommend going with 225 35 20 nitto tires. Dont forget to roll in the back fenders. That should do the job. I did not have to lift my es.

One thing is get rid of your 20's. It's stupid, gas is outrageous now, not to mention all lexus' use premium so 20's will suck your gas, go with 17's or 18's. Bigger isn't always better. Especially with wheels. No offence or anything but those wheels look like dinner plates.

Not hating on your rims, especially if that's what you like, but those rims really do nothing for the looks of your car. Very unappealing. Sorry.

uhhh... I run good ol' regular gas in mine all the time. Works fine. Occasionally I'll splurge for a tank of mid-range, but that's about 30% of the time. I've never used premium, it's a waste of money.
