suggestions are get 18's or smaller, 19's you'll have a terrible ride for an OK look IMO. 18's will look good and won't ride quite as harsh but will still have a fairly tough ride. 17's will give you GREAT performance, and a good ride provided you buy nice tires.

id assume 215/35/19 would be a better bet since you dont know what youre doing. these are the narrowest tires they produce(i think) for 19" rim. but man, it now all depends on your offset, that was told to you before on your last 19" rim question post. id bet that the tires i recommended should clear, but again, its all about your OFFSET. if your offset is too high, then you will rub your springs/suspension, but if it is too low then your rims may possibly even stick too far off the car. my 19's are coming hopefully by end of december, if not, maybe even late january of next year. 215 is probably what ill be going with. but i am rolling and cambering all of my body panels. goodluck, post and post pics when they are on. and for someone else to chime in on this, you will need to give them specs(offset) of your rims so that we can help you out a little more.

19x8.5 i think is too wide for a stock ES, asumming you have a pre-2002 ES. IMO lexanis are ugly. to be honest, i don't feel much ride comfort difference in my car, and i have 19"s with 35 series tires and its lowered. rides nice like a lexus

yes indeed. lexanis are FTL. those are the "i wanna be gangsta" wheels to me. but, to each their own. btw, show us some pics of your 19". what width are they and offset. etc etc.
