Anyone have any suggestions as far as Shocks for my 92 ES300. I am putting IS300 rims on (17in) and wondering what type of shocks I need. I don't want to drop my car either. Thanks!!!!

Actually I think they are the same offset. I believe its 45? Correct me if I'm wrong. Also, I called AAA rims www.aaarims.com and they said they would fit. I originally wanted to get the GS400 rims but they were too wide 17x8 where the IS is 17x7. Do you have other sources that say otherwise about the IS rims on an ES? and there is even a picture of the car on the gallery.

What is the offset for my car? If you said that the offset needs to stay between 40 and 45 then what is the difference between IS300 and the ES300. Also does the bolt pattern differ between the cars? I'm not trying to believe what I want, I'm just like other people on the forum, whom want information from fellow drivers. Thanks!

I'VE HAVE A 92 ES300 WITH 18" WHEELS, AND
FROM MY RESEARCH I FOUND THAT THE ALLOWABLE
OFFSET VARIATIONS FOR THE 1992 ES300 RANGED
BETWEEN +35 TO +42.
I COULDNT FIND ANY OTHER INFORMATION ON THIS SUBJECT,
BUT THIS WAS 4 YEARS AGO, IN 98.
IF ANYONE HAS ANY DIFFERENT INFO SPECIFICALLY
RELATED TO THE 92 ES300S OFFSET, PLEASE POST!

Correct offset for the 15 x 6 ES 300 is +45mm
Correct offset for the 17 x 7 IS 300 is + 50 mm
I know this for a fact because I currently own both cars and I work at Lexus. : ) The offset is stamped on the inside face of the wheel.
