AWDs sit considerably higher than RWDs. Is it an inch higher? I forgot.

19x8.5 30 offset all around (AWD) Tires are 235/35/19's. Bridgestone Potenza RE960 Pole Position AS. Great tires

I'm thinking of being crazy and going a tad bit wider in the rear and adding 10mm spacers. The fronts look pretty flush and in comparision the rears look a tad sucked in... just a tad. There's a local shop that rolls fenders, so if the 10mm spacers are a little too aggressive, rolling the fenders a tad should be just perfect.

I got the drop done at a local shop... called Lexus first and asked if it voided warranty (Lexus of Englewood) NJ.... they said it did not have to be done by the dealership, just as long as they were Lexus parts it was okay.
Guy charged me $420 (which is still a little high compared to what others get it done for). But thats the best price I found in NJ. SoCal is antoher game out there... but for NJ $420 is pretty good. I was getting quotes of crazy like $600-$800ish...

The more I see the 5Axis wheels..the more I like um...And the 09 rear bumpers look way better. Rain or snow I wouldn't wait either.
