Thanks guys
I just feel like the front is missing like a lip or something >_<
Just called my buddies at SE to check my box it's +35 all around. Sorry if I confused a lot of other people.

I'm actually only rubbing like VERY VERY VERY little in the rear, that's because I'm running a wide tire in the rear. I'm about to order new set of tires, had an extra set at home from my previous car so had those mounted to test how they fit.
Currently running, 245/30/20... 285/30/20. Front is fine no rubbing at all whatsoever, I did a partial shave in the rear and now I'm hardly even rubbing at all. Going to order 275 for the rear, should probably fix all the rubbing issues overall, I think I wouldn't even need to shave partially in the rear if I just went with 275 to begin with.
As of right now, I only rub with a full car.

How do you like the ride with the RSR drop and 20 wheel/rim combo? Any trouble in and out of driveways? And what made you decide on a step lip versus reverse which might give you more lips in the front?
I think these wheels would look great on a black car too except I would go with +40 in the back so I can run 285.

TBH, I don't really notice any difference in ride quality with the drop and wheels. It actually feels about the same. Not really any trouble in and out of driveways or anything. Height is like perfect.
Although, maybe if I were to get a lip kit, then that may be a different story haha. Other than that I LOVE it.
Yeah I think these would look great on your car

And I've been going back and forth between step lip versus reverse. I wonder which one would look better on a black car. What do you think?

Nicely done!
I'm sure another 10mm in rear offset (from 35 to 45) would have gotten the 285 in there. No doubt the added camber from lowering helped with clearance too.
Any reason why you used a 30 series tire in front over a 35 series for closer match to stock?
How much additional inside clearance do you think you have on the rear? I'm wondering if it's possible to go with even higher offset for a 295 tire.

From what I can see I don't think there's gonna be enough room to allow 295. I know a lot of people so far on the forum wouldn't run more than 285. 285 causes minor rubbing already with Vossens that's like +40 I believe? Not quite sure.
Thank you =)
Originally, we thought it the DRS would actually cause my car to even pull my rear quarter panels lol. Tested it, the DRS actually doesn't even really turn the wheel enough to have it rub. It's only rubbing on bumps when I'm going straight, I'm fine when I'm turning at corners. Whether I'm going fast or slow at a corner, it doesn't rub unless I hit a bump.

What a beauty! 4GS looks nice and clean with proper wheels/ tires and a subtle drop. If I keep looking at these pictures, I may end up modding mine.
I tend to agree with this. I've seen some overly modded Lexus esps. LS. But I guess everyone has different taste.
