Nope....30mm front and 38mm rear...only barely rub on a hard dip going fast on level 5..on level 4..no rubs. I can't image how much rubbing you have if not at oem height with those offsets you have. With that wide 305 I have. .38 is the minimum offset I can have without modding fenders somehow. It still sits about flush for me. Next time I may try for a 20 to 25 offset in front because 30mm is good but another 3 to 5mm pushed out would look great too

my 25 offset in the front is perfect no rubbing what so ever and it's flushed with the fender, looks really good. but the 15 offset in the rear - i will roll the fenders, that should take care of the rubbing. I'm currently running 4 F 0R to prevent the rears from rubbing till i can get them rolled.

Yeah..I think 25 offset is really good..I def have some extra room. I may throw my 3mm spacer on to get me to 27

Hey, which brand tires did you go with? Or did I miss that in the wheel/tire thread?

haven't posted in the tire thread. but will do soon. I went with your combo. but i might go 245 295 next to have the rears fit a little better. It's bearly passing clearance after the fender roll but still rubs on hard bumps. I wish there was a camber kit for the ls6... haha

There is a camber kit for the LS...it's a matter if you're willing to pay $7-$8k.

+1 on the tire make, one of my 305's on the rear just popped on a pot hole carrying 5 passengers + it had low PSI so I was asking for it. I had TOYO Proxe but a replacemet is around 350

did any of you guys disconnect the battery before the install? the person who sold me the controller said make sure you disconnect the battery before installing. Im curious, because when i got the car it came with sat radio and im scared to lose that if i were to disconnect the battery and be forced to reset my radio.

I seen the installation twice when CJITTY installed mine and PrinceAkim's DataSystems Controller and he never disconnected the battery.

Ok you definitely know your stuff,great looking LEX by the way,i was wondering if you can tell me the difference between a 2007 LS 460L with all options including the EXECUTIVE REAR SEAT PACKAGE vs the 2008 LS 600H L???
