ask and you shaaaaallllll receive
well, got these in the mail...so all the pieces of the puzzle were here..
and heres the "finished" product. (in the pic, you can see the rear is a tad lower, thats because i had the original suspension in the trunk, and 2 wheels in the back seat.. when i took them out, it sits perfectly even.)
again, they are Linea Corse LC818 19x8.5 front, 19x10 rear on a 1998 lexus gs400 (added that so the pic will now pop up on google images for people who search for pics of these wheels on a GS)

no no no,... lol... gonna raise it up a tad... just a tiny bit though.. its dragging everywhere..and thanks
yeah, it was nice doing it that way... i hate the slow builds.. im too impatient for that
thank you and its not tan, its gray, just looks that way in the photo
so far they are great!! the ride is almost as nice as the stock suspension, which i honestly didnt expect! and i have the fronts on full soft, and the rears are unknown.. forgot to adjust them, so im gonna do it tomorrow
thanks guys for the compliments

and as for the wheels, the funny thing is, the reason i first thought about buying a lexus or older beemer was because of these wheels.. i love the look of them. and knew i had to build a car with them.
absolutely ZERO rubbing issues the rears were rolled, but not aggressively, i just rolled them inward a little bit. and honestly dont think i would have needed to at all.. i think theres enough space that the wheel/tire combo would have cleared the stock setup.. and yeah, they are the 30/38 combo
tire sizes are 225/35r19 and 265/30r19 .. next set of tires i might add some sidewall though
thanks have to admit im glad you didnt buy em hahaha
thanks! yeah, the lexus is quite a different car then my evo and subie.. but thats why im liking it.. so far im not missing the crazy power and turbo sound/feel, which i assumed id really be missing by now.

Wow the 98's are selling like hotcakes these days. Especially here in Cali. Seeing more and more of them..
Welcome to the club! I like the STi big contrast between your two whips and the lex. Nice drop on the lex too.

love it! I also came from the subie world. I was actually following your build on nasioc.
I just picked up an 03 GS 430. Mine is dead stock though, you work fast!
here's my STi.
