Joe,

On the first page it talks about rolling the fenders. Was that necessary with this set-up or just something you did as a precaution? BTW, wheels look great.

^^ The fronts will be fine depending on drop height and tire size.
My front set up has no rubbing issues and nothing rolled or shaved.

The Rear was a must.
I shaved some of the fender lip to clear the 265/30 tire on the 19x9.5 +35 offset wheel.

The offsets are bit aggressive but they do look awesome on the F.

A little too tuner for my taste.
I've seen many I didn't like at all though.
These aren't bad just think a sport Lexus deserves something with more pop.

Thanks for the info, I liked the wheels so much that I ordered a set with the same offsets you have.

Although my drop looks to be a little more aggressive than yours (TEIN CST) so just wanted to know what I may have to do to run without issues.

Will be silver on USB though. I've had Axis Hiro's, Volk GTSs and now the R5:F coming so I guess I've got a soft spot for a 5 spoke design.

Nice, those remind me of the Volvo S60R wheels.

New Random shot taken last weekend...!!

Can't tell in the pic, but my F hasn't been washed for over 2 months..

Other than that, I think it came out all right for a point & shoot camera.

Great pic. I know exactly where you took that pic, used to park there when required.
