Offset for ES300 '02 ?
Hi guys,
I'm looking for rims for my ES300 '02. I'm thinking for 19" or 20". Someone told me that the offset for Es is about +36 to +50. Is it true? I'm glad to see what do you guys suggest for the offset without requiring wide body. Thanks in advance.

Take off a front and rear wheel and measure the backspacing and the front spacing to the point you wish the outer wheel lip to be, also measure the brake caliper clearance to the mounting point so you know which disk to go with that works best for you. Or for an "easy way out and close enough type deal..measure the distance from your current wheels to where you wish the fenders to be and subtract the number from your current offset and figure the offset from there..but that'll only work if you keep your current wheel widths. Try not asking for fitments and actually doing the measuring for yourself, that way you get exactly the fitment YOU want. But make sure you allow for camber and what suspension set-up you plan on. It's not rocket science.

No problem, keep in mind that with backspacing you're measuring to the closest point of impact to the wheel which in most cases is part of the suspension..ie: strut.
