<_< Hey guys / ladies, I'm trying to upgrade the rear sub but been having trouble trying to remove it. Does anyone have instruction or can point me in the right direction? Would appreciate any help.

sw, I have an opinion on everything, I just don't voice most of them.
18's will look real sharp and will improve the turn stability of the ES.
but.......there is always a but.....there is a major tradeoff.
you will loose some of the smooth ride and will increase the road noise that is so incredibly quiet with the stock 16's. 18's and 19's will severely decrease your sidewall of the tire if you stay within the same overall diameter specs. The diminished sidewall will leave your larger wheels prey to potholes and road crap.....bottom line is that you have a higher chance of bending an expensive modification. NAV and speedo won't change if you stay within recommended tire sizing. I run a 235/40-18 from May or June to October and have no change in the speedo or mpg that I get.
Shop around. Whatever you do, don't get rid of the stock tires. Store them and keep them for winter use.
here's a pic of my 18's.

Now that's what I'm talking about, SMOOTH....SHARP looking ES3000. I'm okay with loosing a little smoothness and of course, I will keep the stock wheels. :D

. Plan is to put 18s or 19 inch wheels on.
Yes the smoothness, refinement and alot more would go out the window. But If you're a multimillionaire and the $38,000 you paid is just pocket change then you could experiment and not have to worry about anything that breaks or about the new car warranty that would be voided.
Actually I paid $36K for it angave cash!!! so really I'm not that concern. after all it's only a car? :P

I don't think Stevie meant to suggest otherwise ;)
Yeah i'm cool with that, everyone is entitled to their opinion. I'm one of those guys who likes to enhance the look of the car. Tint windows, wheels...etc.

B) I'm a new Lexus owner of a 2004 ES330 and the can is SMoooooth!!!, Blk on Blk leather of course with the 4th gen navigation system. Plan is to put 18s or 19 inch wheels on. Anyone has thought on how this install will change the ride and handling?
Will post pictures soon.

Use 2-3 words.
I use three words and it works great.
Example:Call Cindy Mobile.
