The 285 cleared fine..There was slight rubbing when going over dips, but then I grounded down
the inner quarter panel a bit and applied a corrosion protection
Alignment to be determined this week by Tustin Lexus
They are the standard Vossen set up 20x9 32mm offset and 20x10.5 45mm offset
No bother at all..
The profile I chose was a perfect fit. I wanted the largest tire I could fit in the rear

Also how do you like the ride on the Tanabe? Bouncy? Going over bumps on freeways?

You're right.
Found this cool offset calculator: http://www.1010tires.com/Tools/Wheel-Offset-Calculator
So if the outer part of the wheel is rubbing at +45 offset. Going to +50 would move the wheel about 5mm inward, but then you're also 5mm closer to the inner strut assemblies. I wonder why Vossen didn't make +50 offset for 10.5 wheels for this car.
Staying with +45 offset but going with 10 inch wheels would do about the same as above (6mm inward). However, inner part of wheel would remain at stock clearance.
On another note, today I got a chance to see and ride in biggame's ride. Wow the car looks 10x better in person. The dark top and the Vossen wheels looked amazing. The body shop did a nice job.
There was barely any fender gap with the Tanabe, less than 1 finger to be exact. The ride is firm and stable. Reminds me of my old 335i except the ride was slightly better than the BMW. I'm going to order some Tanabe this week. Next to his car my F sport looks like it's 3 inches taller. Nicely done J.

ever had the springs on with stock wheels? You think feeling the road a little more could come from the 20's and thinner sideall tires?
