Exclamation Tanabe vs. RS-R for Aggressive 20x10.5 +18

Evening peeps. Ok So i have been doing a lot of research (forum reading) ...WAIT.. first let me introduce myself.. my name is Cals.. I am NOOB..to Lexus...copped my first one... 2013 GS 350 F Sport ....(no pics yet) its on the truck getting shipped back to VA but parts already have been purchased, and I am trying to decide on which springs to get. I am coming from a 2010 Maxima on BC Coils with Swift springs.. so will probably do air sometime next summer... but i have my rims from my max still which are a 20x10.5 et 25 with a 265/35/20 tire all around..ride was great, but alas the tire is thick...of course soon as she gets here I am going to at least test the fitment to see how much rom we have to play with and decide if i am going to keep them or not.

The second option is 9.5 front and 10.5 rears with +18 offset. Tires are 225 and 245 30 series. Hankook Ventus V12. I know these are two very aggressive offsets, and I was just wondering if anyone has any insight..thanks in advance sorry no pics yet... but i do want to order these springs so please help...(CHECK OUT A FEW VIDS ON MY YOUTUBE CHANNEL...

Ok so these didn't stay on too long... 20x10.5 with a 25 offset all around 245/30 front 285/30 rear. Rear rubbed with a passenger and front slight runs when turned all the way. Cool little project I tried, being my first Lexus and they were just laying around. Pardon my cousin she was "stunting" lol. New wheel specs are 20x9.5 et 33 going to run a 245/35 and 20x10.5 et 37 with a 275/30... I have the springs and fog light kit rolling around in trunk. But this is what she looked like... Which I wasn't feeling...




Front bumper vinyl wrapped gloss black





Before the wrap but the poke with 25 was way to much to not be doing an air setup

Patiently waiting...

Proper offsets and a nice drop these should work out nicely...

Much nicer.

I assume the rears rubbed due to the aggressive offset?

Wow Staggered3, loved what you had done to the Maxima and I can't wait to see what you do with the Lexus! I think those new rims will look great on your car.

Looks like you already plasti dipped the front end.. looks clean!

Congrats on a great new ride btw. Thanks for sharing a few pictures. Look forward to seeing to progress with mods to the GS350.

Enjoy her!
