depends on the offset of the wheel, and if you're willing to roll your fenders. but i'd be more concerned with it looking goofy. That's getting pretty big.

Cool
IMHO: 2nd and 3rd gen ESs look better with 18s or less. 19s and greater lift the vehicle (a result you're probably only okay with if you're into the DUBS/Donk scene)

19's would look great if you had a kit to go with it (charley240). For stock body lines, I say 18's are perfect.

yeah, personally id stick with 18s, 19s are expensive, tires are expensive, and with stock body, it does look large.
goodluck

I found some 18s with a +30 offset. Will this offset work?
