99LexusES300 Posted October 5, 2002 Posted October 5, 2002 I was wondering what kind of body mods i could do on my lexus...like...what size wheels i could get b4 they would start rubbin on the parkin brake. I've heard some bad stories from friends about how their tires would rub. And i was wondering what kind of body kits/ ground effects you guys use or could use on a ES300
kuruma Posted January 29, 2003 Posted January 29, 2003 For tires check what size is recommended. You could then go with a larger diameter but a lower profile tire
zeta Posted February 27, 2003 Posted February 27, 2003 not many ES300 owners have any body add-ons. body kits for the ES are quite expensive. the largest size rims might be 18's or 19's (maybe). i wouldn't suggest 19's, but a lot of people have 18's without any rubbing. good luck, man.
zeta Posted February 27, 2003 Posted February 27, 2003 just fyi, don't deal with buying from gtautosports. they are not a good dealer. many CL members had bad run-in's with this company.

If you wanngo wild, have a body shop to a custom wide body set-up on your vehicl. This way you could even go with big wide wheels and tires....Just a thought.. :D The picture is that of an IS 300 with a custom wide body kit. Like i said, it all depends on how much you want to spend...
HoeBag Posted May 28, 2003 Posted May 28, 2003 theres an evo body kit for the es300 available (1997+), its $750 without shipping - reasonable i suppose.....btw i have 18x7.5 all around, i got a lot of weight in the rear so it rub a little when going into dips and bumps at somewhat high speeds, but i took out the spare tire, so no more probs with rubbing
SKperformance Posted May 28, 2003 Posted May 28, 2003 i have 18x7 with a 40mm offset 225/40 18 toyo t1-s tires so far that is the widest for the mcv-10 chasis 92-96 there is no way to do a wide body kit on an es as the rear lips have less than an inch of fender to remove or roll as the rear quater is so close to the door mine does not rub at all with weight spare and a full audio system the options for a lip kit by trd are possible with slight mods ( not sure what they are ) it is a nice kit but for a 97-99 camry but fits on those years like a charm the pakign brake will ot rub as it is by the hub and located inside the rotor hub 7.5 inch wide rims can be used but i don't have them so i can't say but i have a 1 inch drop also
nixsun79 Posted July 13, 2003 Posted July 13, 2003 I have 18x8 SC430 wheels on my 97 ES3, it fits fine with no rubbing at all. I also have 225-40 profile tires. I did have to use a 3mm spacer on the rear tires. Where can you get that EVO kit from?
