Default Q & A about the es350

So I was driving on the freeway and when I exited, I hit the center island and popped both of my front and back tires. So now instead of paying for stock lexus rims I'm going to purchase aftermarket. I was looking around and many shops told me that the deepest I can go on rims were 8.5

Now I'm asking, does anyone know how deep I can go in the front and back If I was going to get 20" rims? I'm planning on ordering them by tomorrow thanks

Look Here:

Tire rack seems to recommend nothing bigger than 19" and nothing wider than 8.5"

there are places on ebay that sell brand new OEM rims cheaper then you would pay for one from the dealer.

I got chrome wheels for my old Es300 from one of them, this way you can dress the car up and keep it looking factory.
The dealership MAY give you warranty problems if they even think its because of larger wheels and tires.

20x8.5 is the deepest on both front and back with a high offset.

Yeah I talked to a local shop here down in LA they said if I wanted 20x10 I would have to find a camber kit but I dont think anyone makes a kit like that for an es350. sigh....why can't my car be more of a LS lol
