well.....if were splittin' hairs here:

i think the front looks peeeeeeerfect!!! 100% perfect offset, tire, wheel, and lowered height. Everythings awesome!

the rear...........it looks like the rear needs to be lowered a little bit more and the wheel offset looks too deep. Its probly just the angle of the picture but i dont know???

I love Asanti's. They look sweet!!! Good job.

255 for the front?


Its the angle, it has a 45 offset in the rear, it sits flush in the rear like the front which has a 38 offset. I'll post some pics up tomorrow after I get a wash. The rear is also lower, that pic was after it came off the jack and it wasn't settled in.

On the GS300, the car has 19x8.5 all around with 245-40 tires. Minimal rubbing but it is there. Mostly on turns.

On the GS350, had 20x8.5 with 245-35 tires for a couple of days with hardly any rubbing at all. New wheels will be the same spec....35 offset.

Both cars lowered on Tanabe NF210 but the 300 seems to have settled lower.

I just had 5 people in my car yesterday for the first time with my springs and wheels, and I had no rubbing at all. I didn't have a chance to check to see if it rubbed during a U-turn though. Average weight of each person about 145 lbs.
