Hey what's up guys sorry been busy at the shop. Happy thanksgiving to all! Anyways to answer your questions.. 1st the tire size is the stock size that came from factory on the 2013 GS-F which are 235-40-19 up fronts and the rear are 265-35-19. 2nd the rear tuck into the wheel wells perfectly no rubbing at all. The fronts on the other hand are a different story. I had rubbing for a week untill I removed the black metal "thing" that follows the inner front fender. After that my rubbing is only when going in and out of drive ways and very little at that. Car rides perfect and I only lost 2mpg in the city. Averaging 18.5 mpg. Thanks for all the feedback guys and gals.

Looks good. I'm in the minority, but I actually think it looks better stock without the lowering.
Did your ride quality change much? Did you have to adjust the speedometer?

It looked okay when it was stock. The ride quality is not as plush as it was but then again I wanted a sportier ride. I've owned a couple of sports cars and the ride on my Lexus is a lot smoother than my sport cars. Also I have raised the rears 3/4 of and inch up and the fronts 1/2 inch up. Doesn't look as aggressive. Plus my round trip from home to my shop is 10miles of street driving so I'm very pleased with the ride quality. As far as the speedo goes I have not messed with it. Low and slow is my way of driving.

Looks great. Quick question though. Im trying to have the sidewall 40 from tire, same on rear. What would i need to do to have GS sitting on F/R 40 sidewall?
