this is a good thread, giving me ideas for my es300. i've always thought that the GS was more of a "sportier" type of car than a luxury type (if that makes sense lol)

Thanks guys. IMO the S160 is refined enough to play at being a luxury car, and it does so very well, since that's what Lexus' market was. But it's a pretty good chassis to drive as well, it's nice to put running shoes on and go for a jog, so to speak.

Thanks guys.

Specs:
Front : 18x10.5 +15et 255/35/18
Rear : 19x11 +15 275/35/19

I either need to go 275/30 in the rear or 265/35 to avoid rubbing. I only rub on bumps but id like to not rub at all and I don't want to give it more camber in the rear. My fronts clear like a glove

AKGWBver2-that is super MEAN!! Love the aggressive look. Thats the look im trying to get as we speak. Did you roll or shave your fenders?

Thanks guys.

The fenders were rolled with a slight pull. The previous owner before me rolled the fenders and didn't do a very clean job unfortunately but you can't tell the imperfection unless you come right up to it.

Thanks for the info.Just so I'm on the same page, just a roll and pull on the front fenders. Not the rears correct. I'll post some pics of mine soon. Waiting on my front tires to come in.

Going for the street look, I think I need to be more aggressive with the rear wheel fitment.
