Yes I think so.I'll have to double check. 17x8 235/55/17, but like I said, just took the pics for fun, the rims aren't mine.

LOL with vogue tires too! i always wondered how strong the center locking nut is on those wheels. i know the wheels themselves are strong (for hopping) but how about the mounting hub and nut?

The wire wheels that are reverse offset stay tight driving forward but if you ever need a tow they will come loose driving backwards for a long period of time......

I like seeing a stock Lexus...
Tired of seeing cars that were meant to be comfortable and quite that have been turned into hood rides for trend-riders.

I don't know how it is where you live, but most of the modified Lexus that I see are actually owned by people in the "Suburbs" not the "Hood". Nothing wrong with a nice, elegant, stock daily driven LS. There's also nothing wrong with a tastefully modded car. Think of how many great custom cars the world would miss out on if everyone kept them stock. Would Dayton's look horrendous on an LS? Of course, but there's nothing wrong with shooting pics of them on an LS for laughs. Cars should be fun and enjoyable. Not everyone enjoys a BORING, completely stock Lexus, or MB or Saab, etc. No offense to Eld4au6, your car looks very clean.

I like to see nicely modified 400's and generally I don't see many that look horrible. I recently saw one with 22's that looked horrible with no drop and the front fitment was way pass the fender. The dude just knew he was making it happen and I just had to shake my head.

Here's a couple updated pics of the car with the new look. Stripped the black paint of the wheels.
