Pretty sure I remembered reading in this forum that 19's on the ES were not a good idea. It's possible but you will have to do some mods in order to get it to fit. Really dont think it would fit right with modification, someone please correct me if I am wrong, you may want to do a search under your topic especially being front wheel drive. You really dont have alot of room to play with.

Here is a start to help you with your research,,

it all depends on width and offset of rims. most likely youll want to stay in the 215/225 area.
goodluck

For model years 1992-2001, O.E. tires have a diameter of about 25.5" (for 205/65-15). 225/35-19 has a diameter slightly less than this and should work if the wheel offset is +40mm or less. 235/35-19 is closer to O.E. diameter, but may require an offset of +35mm or less. You also need to consider the rim width. Tire Rack's web site is a good source of information on tire specifications, but you should get assurances from your tire dealer that whatever you buy will fit.
