Default Just got my rims on and dropped my 94 LS

Purchased a set of 19" Lowenharts BSD's off of Thoangbui at the classified section: https://www.clublexus.com/forums/sho...3&page=1&pp=15. Couldn't resist 3 piece Lowenhart's in chrome for only $1100.00 shipped! So I grabbed them to see how they look on my ride. Needless to say, they fit pretty well and look decent. I also dropped my car with Tanabe DF210 springs and Tokico shocks, to my suprise the ride hasn't changed much and my car is lower about 2". Here's some pictures:

I went cheap on the tires though, 235/35/19 all the way around. I have 19x9 on the back so they had to be stretched a lil on the rears. I'll probably upgrade them in a few months, just checking how the rims sit first. Has anyone ever installed 235/35/19 on 19x9?

Not that big of a deal, I was driving a LS400 with 255 on a 10" this weekend, no problems at all. 235 on 9 is comparable, just be more careful, and you shoud be okay (of course Lowenharts are very soft, so you also have that issue to deal with, stretched tire or not).

Do you still have the black 3rd Gen Celsior as well?

I'm with you on that one.

I love the looks of the wheels, but as Derrick mentioned, they are pretty soft and in a pothole laddened city, i'd have some trouble with bends and such

Thanks! The previous owner must've kept it in the garage because the paint is almost flawless.

Actually, I sold it to one of my friends: https://www.clublexus.com/forums/sho...=142721&page=3
I downgraded to invest in my business and so far this 1st gen has been pretty good to me. I'm going to change out the tires probably by June (they're used ones sitting in my garage for the past 2 years), but I wanted to see how they looked on my car before I bought some new ones.
