Default 2015 Lexus GS350 F-Sport RWD

Hey Everyone,

My name is Nick from Phoenix, AZ. I have been on here for a while but have not posted. Just wanted to share some photos of my gs-350 f-sport with rsr superdowns and 15mm and 20mm front and rear spacers. In the back when I hit large bumps they are rubbing. Has anyone here rolled their fenders?

Hi Nick, Your car looks great!
For your rubbing issue you can't roll the quarters. You can either do it your self or take it to a shop, and have them grind some material from the inside

Did you do it yourself? The inner and outer quarter come together and make it impossible to roll

somebody else did it. But they used the normal fender roller. I watched them do it and it seemed pretty normal to me. I'm on 275's 19x10 38 offset.

That's great! Would love to see a pic. Didn't crack the paint?

I don't usually modify cars I own. I can appreciate completely modified cars and they are interesting. But for me, The way it came from the factory is just good enough.

But what do you mean roll the fenders? Is it just to make the bigger to fit extra wide tires?

Really hard to see, but you got really lucky your paint didn't crack on the quarters. The inner and outer quarter come together, and there really is no room to roll.
What I did was, use a grinder and remove some material, then added corrosion protection. Worked like a charm

For Reference:
Here are some pics I took of a 13 GS 350 See below

Pic of the RT quarter/wheel house


You can see the factory caulking hiding the inner/outer quarter seam


Measuring tape to show the depth

Thank you all for the info! I have had the springs on for over a year but I just added the spacers. I wish I would have done it a while ago. I got 23,000 miles out of my first set of tires and I am hoping to get about the same out of my new set.
