Default New 20" staggered wheels on 2007 ES350 with drop

Lowered on: "STD coilover suspension" approx. 3-4inches of drop (tucking stock tires)
Rims : Axis EXE Image
Tires: Nitto extreme 555
Flush? : i'd say so.. if not.. it's pretty damm close.
Front: 20x8.5 +35 offset 225/35/20
Rear: 20x9.5 +40 offset 245/35/20
Rubbing? : Rears rubs a little (problem is solved by shaving the fender down a little) Fronts rub the plastic wheel well liner. i have yet to deal with the issue.

wheels were purchased from B2 autodesign. they were shipped to me within a week.

teaser shots... enjoy







I'll do some better pictures when the car is nice and cleaned up.





ride is exactly how it should be with a modified suspension... stiff.... I'm still young (22) and my bones and body can handle a rougher ride. in a few years, when i become "old" the car will be going back to stock height for occupational purposes.

Wow! You just spent a whole lot of money turning a really nice luxury vehicle into a low rider. Not bashing by any means, because I share your passion. Mine is boats. But doesn't this totally kill the wonderful ride quality of this car?

I do like the wheels.

Actually, I wish there were more modded ES on the road.....but it is unusual for a 22 year old to buy a new ES.

Usually not a fan of doing this but your car looks great. Looks expensive and is not wild at all. Suggest the rear spoiler to really set it off more.
