Please post more pics of the car. I am loving the 24's. Can you please put up some more pics. I think the 24's with a front lip and no drop would look pretty damn good. I am loving the fact that you kill the fender gap with no drop. The issue is the height of the nose, but I could live with that.

Awesome! Congrats, good decision. Is it Nexen 275/25/R24 or Pirelli Nero? Tire diameter is 29.4'' that's 6.3% more as stock 245/45/R19 (27.7''). With other words, when speedometer reads 60mph actual speed will be 63.8mph: 6.3% faster. Usually electronic systems accept 3% difference only and acceleration is really bad. Did you adjust your odo?

Tell me more about your tail lights please.

I am on a 25 series in the rear of my car and its fine. I used to freak out about going to a 245/30 on my GS from the 245/35 on my G35. Now on my LS I am on 25 series. In the end you really cant tell the difference

Thank you very much for the compliments . The tails and the third brake light were painted . It is black paint and clear mixed to the correct mixture. The wheels are 24"x9" Front and 24"x10.5" rear. The tires are Toyo Proxes 4 275/25/24 all 4 .. Zero mods to suspension or fenders. Zero rub. The ride is just fine but obviously not as quiet as stock.
Keep an eye out for my friends new profile coming up. His co. Is Autophysique and its a Black on Black LS460L on 24's with a lowering module and modified fenders. Its incredible! BTW are there any othe ladies on CL? Lol I feel alone :/ hahaha Congrats, good decision. Is it Nexen 275/25/R24 or Pirelli Nero? Tire diameter is 29.4'' that's 6.3% more as stock 245/45/R19 (27.7'').

One surprise after the other! Female and such a modified car, unbelievable great.
All I need is the rim offset please. Can't believe that no fender mods are required. Makes me nervous that I sit in my LS600L on 19's. I'm now looking for a photoshopper who can exchange the Forgiatos with these Arelli F-16



However, it perhaps destroys the character of the sedan car.

i dont think the sprint booster will help the acceleration but it does get rid of the pedal delay of the start.. it may make a difference from dead stops..

i think i saw u on Old Winter Garden Rd near Mercy dr (few weeks ago) if so... ur car looks awesome in person....wheels have that real chopping effect while in motion...sexy!! cant wait to see whats next...

Yes I am a female.. I have never really been into cars until the last year in a half.. I owe it all to my best friend he had taught me alot & has made me look at cars in a whole new look..
