This is one sexy car. I'm totally new to this, but what would be the costs of the tires n rims and is it lowered? Some sort of kit on it?

This is what was written below the picture as far as Rims and Tires.

COSTS INVOLVED? Guesstimate?

Lexus ES300,h 18 inch silver L Sportline M4, p225/40r18 Nitto NT555, Rims, Wheels

I don't know how much the Sportline M4 run but you should be able to google that for pricing, the same goes for the tires. However as a 2nd ooption the RX330 rims look very similar to that and you can find a set for about $600 - $800 on ebay + tire cost. Looking at the picture, the car doesn't look to be lowered.

The cost of lowering would be dependent upon the brand and suspension related items you are to replace.

A very basic lowering option would be new struts and new coils. Many of the folks on this site (including me) perfer the KYB GR-2 which runs about $250 for all 4, coils will run about $150 - $250 depending on which manufacturer you go with (H&R seems to be the most popular, Teins - just proven by yours truely that the model for 99-03 solara will fit model SKL16, Eibach, Vogtland and B&G are some of the makers out there.) Don't forget to include the cost of labor I say about $250 - $400. Other items that you might want to consider replacing are strut mounts ($300-$400 for all 4), SWB, RSB, bushings, etc.) An estimate on a complete rehaul of all suspension component including labor about $1500. Bare minimum about $700, the other option that you could go is to cut your OEM coils, however I wouldn't risk my life for $250.

Check out my thread with the Teins and KYB GR-2 struts.

Good Luck on what ever you plan on doing.

Then I would just have to buy some 18" tires?

Trying to keep costs down. I live in Minnesota so I would want some decent all season tires/performance tires.

Right?

answered my own question. These tires aren't cheap. Doh!

^^^ i think its just best to do a decent summer tire, and a cheap snow tire

like maybe keep the original rims w/cheap winter tires for winter and then put on the nice 18rims/tires for summer?

I'm in AZ right now, but when I move to MI I'm going to put the stockers on for the winter and have my 18's for the summer.

jet_jockey

doesn't look like its lowered.

I've got stock ride height with 18s also

hey everyone im also going for this look, i was wondering if you just put lowering springs in the stock setup would it work? im kind of strapped for cash so instead of the l-sportlines im going to get fast exclusives which were the closest i could get to the sportlines also my 2000 es300 is that exact colour does anyone know the name for the colour i hate just calling it green.... thanks and sorry for the thread hijack
