looks great! tires are a bit beefy. I think your speedometer will be off by about 4% with the current size though. i'm debating between the GS F sport rims or the ISF rims myself

Those wheels take up a lot of that wheel gap on stock height

Thanks guys, im not a skinny tire kind of guy. At least not at the moment.

I kind of messed up the angle of the pictures so the most recent one looks a bit too big.

Hmm...why did you go for those verse the IS versions? They look awkwardly big IMO. Maybe because I'm use to the size that comes w/ the IS F-Sport.

Looks great! What a difference from stock 17s!! Also, if you ain't lowering the car you don't need the tiny tires.

Maybe I'm partial to the GS F Sport wheels, but I think they look great!

The OEM subaru rims have 56.1mm hub bore size. Lexus needs at least 60.1mm
