Default People with aftermarket rims.....

I was gonna ask what kinda sizes are we running on here?I just wanna compare more or less.Please post sizes/offsets and a pic if possible.I just ordered me a custom set of Work wheels last week in 18x8.5 with a +25 offset all around.Plan on running a 205/35 so I can slam it as much as possible.These are definitely my lowest offset wheels yet since my other car is a Honda.

Please post your car & specs!! Lookn for some vip style.

Charley240 is running the most aggressive setup on his ES300 as far as I know. He has the 97-01 body style but I believe his specs were 19 x 9 +23 all around and those sat flush with his fenders. He was running 215/35/19 tires.

Ah nice.I kept it 18's since this is SUPPOSED to be my daily.And I was also supposed to keep it stock,but that went down the drain.I only want wheels and a slam.I think i'll be happy with that.I got my wheels specs suggestions from HoeBag.He said it should be a pretty good fit.Now i just have to be patient and wait

Don't sweat it. *LOL* That's how a lot of us started out, but the mod bug knows nothing about "mere" daily drivers. When you're a car nut you must
improve what you're driving; it's a disease - or an addictive art form.

niceee...can't wait to see a fixed up ES300 in Houston. I think 18's are perfect for daily and for Houston roads. Those wheel specs are also the exact same specs I was looking to get if I ever do get around to wheels. Looks like I got me some competition...lol

Yeah that thread didnt seem that informative when it came down to offsets.Hopefully the mod bug doesnt bite me as hard as it did with my other car.It was more like i was swarmed with bugs!

Oh nah man,no comp here.Not on this car atleast.On the s2k im on my 3rd set of wheels,3rd hardtop and about to be 3rd paintjob!I just got tired of the car sitting so high.And I see ES's all day same color with rims,so I felt left out.Even though they are all like on cheap knock off blades.lol.At first i was gonna order the Dianna kit and some air suspension too but I dont wanna mod this 1 too much since I wanna save up for my next BIGG project...

Luff m1, 19" x 8.5 with a +45 offset. I am waiting for 2 10mm hubcentric spacers + longer studs to come in so I can get the wheels on. The rear ended up pushing up against the side of the strut.

How much longer studs did you and from where? I ended up getting 35mm studs of ebay and 12mm spacers.
