what about.. 18x7.5 (245/40/18)?? will these fit?? does anyone have 18'' wheels on their car and have a pic? I wanna see the looks of it on the car before i decide on getting the 18's..

I'm trying to get the biggest wheel i can and know very little about wheels, offsets, tires, etc so bare with me.. Will these fit my 98 ES without any problems? 20x8.5 (245/35/20)

why dont u try the SC forum?

this might be really dumb question but.. what is offset? and what is the offset on 97-01's?? Another question is, im looking into getting a 18'' or 19'' or maybe even a 20'' for my car and i remember someone saying that im going to need to replace my struts.. Is this true?

SKperformance, u got any pics??

where is the top part of the hose?

Does anyone know the part number for the radio lcd in the center console?

the mirror was cracked but i wanted to change the whole thing because there were noticable damages done to casing also when mirror was damaged... I picked up the mirror for $120 at a local junk yard so it all turned out good~ :D

I managed to take door panel off without breaking anything with help of this thread http://us.lexusownersclub.com/forums/index...showtopic=18985 The whole purpose of this was to change my side view mirror. I have NEVER touched or worked on anything on any car before, this was my first time. I took time and was very careful and it all worked out fine and saved me few bucks. :D I took some pictures during the process with my camera phone so the quality isn't that good.. 1) REMOVING THE SCREWS First, I removed the speaker cover to see where the screws for side view mirror was located. It was fairy easy to take out the covers, all i had to do was lift it upward with little force and came right out. I wasn't sure if this screw had to be removed to open the door panel but i did it anyway.. 2) PRYING OUT TRIMS I found it easier to pry out the trims using these spots without breaking anything.. I used a taped flat-head screw driver to pry out the trims so i won't scratch anything. The main screw to open the door panel is located under window switch panel. Once the trim is pryed out, disconnect all the plugs from switch panel. 3) OPENING DOOR PANEL / SNAP PLUGS After removing all the trims(door handle, switch panel), use some force to unplug the snap plugs. There are total 7 snap plugs holding the door panel and the door together. Try working from the sides or the bottom. I found easier to unplug these working from the sides first. . Once all these are out, slightly lift up the door panel and should come right out. 4) TAKING OUT SIDE VIEW MIRROR Once the door panel is removed, it should be easy to take out side view mirror and install the new one. But first you have to remove the speaker to reveal side view mirror screws underneath it. Here's a picture of what it looks like after removing the speaker. After unscrewing the bolds and removing the side view mirror. Install your new side view mirror, connect all cables, screw back in everything and done! I hope this helps! :)

Just to make sure before i buy them, will 01 wheels fit my 98?

what's a tweeter?

yeah i tried that too but didnt wanna lift it too hard cuz i was afraid of breaking something..

HoeBag, u get your ddx7015 installed yet? Wanna see pics!! :D

Guys, im trying to remove my interior door panel on my 98(passenger side).. I unscrewed a screw near side view mirror covered with a little round black plastic piece and unscrewed another one where my door knob is.. it seems like the whole bottom area is detached but somewhere in middle or the top where window is is still intact. I didn't wanna break anything so i didnt force it. Are there any other screws that i missed or maybe do i have to take out the whole door knob area or the window controls..??

i need a black one cuz i got a black interior.. :T know any places on the web that does custom dash faces??

yep, where did u get that done?

does anyone know how to take rear view mirror off?

Anyone know a site for custom dash face for aftermarket recievers, lcd monitors, etc..?

it seems like the bottom of the hose isn't attached to anything but just hangs on the bottom of the car..? Because i pulled on it and it just came right out, or did i mess something up?... im gonna try a few different things including running a wire through it like 914 suggested when i get home tonight. I'll let you guys know how it turns out.

i have the same problem on my 98 Es300.. Its never been in an accident but recently, i discovered 3, 4'' of water in passenger side jack compartment... I'm thinking its due to clear hose in the jack compartment.. Does anyone know what that clear hose is?

do u have to fabricate plastic to install that? how does it fit???

oh shoot.. i TOTALLY forgot about that... *kicking myself in the head.. thanx guys!

I have a 98 ES300 and i have the same prob with the noise.. Does my car have this sway bar and bushing thing too..???

Does anyone know any sites for 98 ES300 parts at good prices? I need to get a whole bunch of stuff like, passenger side rear view mirror, wheel center caps, tunk lid, etc..
