im dropped on tanabe springs. i mean, for sure 20's would look nicer on the LS (especially if it's slammed), but with the fat setup i don't even need to care much about rims getting damaged, plus the comfort level is still GOOD! don't regret gettin 19's at all
Down the side view... This was on a steep driveway and made the front sit a little high, and I've since lowered the front a little, so the combination result is that the front now that the whole car sits like the rear appears in this photo.
No rubbing except when there are 4 people in the car AND it goes over a big dip at speed (this with my Tein CS set pretty soft the way I run it). And in that event it rubs very lightly at the ~9:00 position on the tire where the plastic ground effects trim attaches inside the wheel opening (doesn't rub anywhere that you can see in the above photo). I could spend 15 minutes adjusting the mounting tab and eleminate the rubbing, but it really isn't an issue. I can't see any sign on the tire or the car where it's rubbing, and it only happens about once a month or so in my driving. The setup is the max track width that will fit without any significant rubbing, though. LOL Looks very beefy from the rear.
