Rear offset is +25 ... Front is I do not know but I think About +27 guessin.... I got these cause they were cheap I like them but my heart is With work meister (but those going on my M3) so I also love JP scaras for this car.. One day lol.. For now I want to get these poked out more... What spacers should I go with? Fenders are cut n sealed in rear and front need to be rolled. Want to go pretty dAmn aggressive.. Will get more pics up for you guys tomorrow so you can better see what I'm working with... I also want to get the LED tails and inners... Please help me out on where to buy this stuff I want guys I'm more used to modding BMW M3 this Lexus even though I've had it for years I've never messed with it much past putting wheels exhaust coilovers lip kit and audio so I'm still a GS noob!!

Thanks man!! Just looked that up THAT is the exact one I been seeing in pics and I love it... And I just found a rep that looks quality on eBay so I'll be buying it this week!!

Now just need to know what spacers are the best to get for my wheels, and also which are the proffered LED tails to get

And hey if y'all know where any aggressive low offset JP scaras are for sale let me know !!

PS found another pic of my car on stocks at the track... Ran low 14s at 97mph



And my custom ice

looks good man...

Hey are those stock tail lights? If so how were they done? Separate them and then what? Does the amber lens just come out or what?

The 16inch stockers? I ran 25mm H&Rs in the rear and 20mm H&Rs in the front on mine, looked a ton better that the stock fitment.

As for you're other wheels, all depends on how crazy you wand to go, just remember to use extended studs so you're lug nuts can get enough bite.

I've ran h&r spacers on my M3 track car in the past, the are one of the few spacer brands I trust. Added bonus they come with the correct studs. I picked mine up from the same company I get all my bimmers parts from for pretty cheap. I'll get a link for you in the morning when I get to work.
