Thanks.
I am glad you responded because I really wanted to thank you for all of your help .
For those of you who are looking to buy new wheels , I dont think you could find a better or more professional person to work with than Jason at Get your wheels.com. Their pricing, free shipping , service, and immediate response was amazing.
Several members here guided me to them and for good reason

Nice, I hadn't seen HRE released new flow formed models. I like the color.
Oh and GYW's is awesome. I'm on a **** ton of forums and they are always very helpful. Will be happy to purchase from them in the future

They look insane !! Just hard to get a decent shot with decent lighting to show them . It has to be the end or very beginning of the day. Ill do my best
Thanks bud. I was going to do black but I wanted the gloss black not satin so I payed for the Antracite to go with the closest color I could find to the oem color. The finish and clear coat looks amazing. Sadly I couldn't get the oem center caps to fit but the guy said some people use electrical tape around the oem center caps to make them fit. I really wanted it to look like the car came this way from Lexus. The dude at the shop said he would with most brands of wheels but with HRE he said he would rather for people to know he was rolling on the good stuff lol. I still prefer it to look stock.
Spent a good 2 hours on my back with a heat gun massaging the front fender liner and manually shaving the fender lip near the bumper. I went down a large undulation in the road at about 50-55 mph and I heard a very very slight rub even after the roll so I went at it with the metal file. Have some Dr Color Chip and marine silicone sealant. Going to test drive the car tomorrow and will see if I need to touch it up with a little more shaving but I really dont see where it could possible come from after what I did today lol.

I know there are a good number of members here who do run the square set up I just think the staggered set up is more ideal when you are running this much RWD hp. I still cant believe that I can launch from a stop making a left turn at an intersection and can not spin the wheels. ITS INSANE. I was laughing about 1/2 mile up the street after that turn. The car literally feels like a different car. The grip is beyond anything I have ever experienced in my F or any other car I have ever owned. I have a feeling I will be looking forward to the hard turns. I have been told that these tires love lower pressures ( 32-34 psi ) but I am at 36 oem until the track. Honestly bud, if you run a 255/285 or the 255/295 you will probably be able to exit corners much faster and harder. All the track books and videos say to apply the throttle mid corner but I am waiting until past that to apply the throttle and have to be delicate with it because I know it will spin the rears. I have a feeling I will be mashing the gas mid corner and at higher speeds. From what I have read, these Yokos are no joke and the 255/295 sizes are no joke either. I think there is a track day coming up November 1st. Have to see if I'm too late to sign up.
If so there are track days here like every 1-2 weeks . It's insane

Thanks !! I am just happy it finally all came together. Glad I used the oem diameters because now there is no way in hell I am dropping it !! It doesnt look like it needs a drop and Im not looking to turn heads as much as to turn better lap times and add more grip.
