Surprisingly it felt the same with my stock 18" F-Sport wheels with Dunlup tires. I do feel more on small imperfection on the road. Big bumps felt the same. Overall it felt very close (probably due to the softer rubber of the Michelin Pilot Super Sport tires). There is some additional road noise (maybe due to car not align properly yet). My car is currently getting aligned as I have install the RS-R Super Down springs a few weeks ago and was told by several Clublexus member to let it settle before aligning (Check https://www.clublexus.com/forums/sus...n-springs.html). Cornering sure feels very flat footed (less roll).

I will post more as I put more miles on it. Just pickup the car for the wheel shop and drop of at dealer for alignment and readjusting the headlight.

Mine is +38 at front (ordered +32). I am satisified with the look now.

Drop 0.5 inches more??? I don't think so. Guam's road is not smooth. Too many none standard speed bumps. Don't want scraping the bottom.

FYI. The dealer just called me saying two of the lug nuts were not tighten. Good thing I didn't drive too fast yet.

As far as lug nuts go the rears are always sticking out further than the fronts HIN you have a staggered set up that's just how it is nothing wrong with the rims in that situation. Also the offsets you have should be just right for your sedan and judging from the pics they are. If you want hellaflush then run spacers because 6 mm isn't thy big of a difference

You, my friend, made all the right choices with your GS. Great drop. Great wheels. Love that you went with the silver, polished finish. Looks fantastic. Please post a video of the car in motion.

How are the headlights? Can you live with them?

Your car is very tastefully done. Very nice.

Thanks for the complement.

Need to find someone to take videos. Will be awhile. Will take some pictures in the sunlight this weekend after I clean the car.

As for headlights issue I will know in a couple of hours. Currently at dealer getting aligned and headlight adjusted even higher. Already getting a lot of stares while I was driving. Must look good.

Next project. Painting the calipers. Black or red. Decision... Decisions...

After you put some more miles on the new set up, let us know if you experience any rubbing.

I'm not surprised that people are staring... I would.

I'm sure people will disagree with me, but I would keep it clean and paint the calipers black.
But either way, it will still look great.

Will give update in the future. Was only able to drive a short distance from the wheel shop to the dealer.

Leaning toward black also. More classy.

That offset looks spot on! Love how the wheels change how the car looks.

Fitment looks perfect! The +38 looks great! the 6mm difference is not much, but honestly those look great on your F Sport!! Sorry again about the inconvenience, but glad to see that you're still happy! The Silver Polish finish has to be my favorite on those CV4's

You have 18" on your F Sport? I'm asking because I do want to know how bigger wheels compared to 18. I thought F Sport comes with 19. I'm kind of used to the luxury feeling but do want a bigger set of wheels. IMO these are the best looking wheels on black GS I checked their website but don't see 19 and wonder if they will introduce in future.

Good looking car! Maybe silver for the calipers with black decals?
