Default Many questions concerning, rims, spoilers, etc for 96er..

Hey guys, I just finally convinced my parents to let me do some crap to my 96 ES.. I'm not really going for engine mods, because I believe that the stock is good enough. I just want body mods. So I have a few questions, if you don't mind.

1. Rims. The thing is, I don't know what size would fit well (getting rid of that gap w/out lowering the car). If I get 17's will that gap with the tire and the body of the car be big? How about 18's?

2. Body kits. I've heard that Camry body kits will be able to fit well on the ES.. Is this true and possible? Any good websites that sell them?

3. Spoilers. What would look nice? I have hardly seen any pics of ES's with spoilers.. So I would interested if any of you have any..?

Suggestions guys and gals please! Anything you think would be cool to do to my ES please say. Thanks guys.

Erebuni has a body kit for the ES300. A few other companies make them also. A Camry kit, wouldn't work too well with the ES300, unless you're willing to spend a lot of time & money modifying it to fit.

18" wheels w/low profile tires still leave too much of a gap when running stock suspension (IMO). I would go with 19's with something like 215/35/19 tires. That would leave the least gap possible with stock suspension. Below is an old pic (not a great one) of my ES on 18's w/stock suspension.

Ugh, yeah, there's a little too much space.. I might have to get lowering springs or something and void the warranty. And I think 19's are a little too much for my budget. Crap.
