As a reminder to ALL, please post new and existing wheel and tire setups in the info thread which provides a single source for valuable wheel/tire information for people who are researching. And for those people worried about posting their setups because they don't want someone "biting their style"...don't worry, someone eventually will whether ypu post or not so that ain't an excuse lol. Here is thread-------> https://www.clublexus.com/forums/sho...d.php?t=604361

your willingness to contribute would be very appreciated!

I would say when you replace these tires try a 255/30/22 and a 295/25/22. It will fill the fenders a bit more

Well I went with the tires I have on because I "plan" on lowering the car so I won't have any rubbing issues.

Cool. Good idea to play it safe. Are you thinking coil overs or springs?

I think I might just go w springs. I had coilovers on my g35 coupe before I sold it and not once did I adjust the height. So prob springs.

Yeah, when I had my GS350 on Tein CST I only went went to max after about a year or two at almost max. Bottom line is that I never needed to adjust the height to decrease tire wear.

Hey ekim: NICE wheels ! -

And don't be influenced by many of the comments...... Your ride looks super now. If and when you might do some lowering......well .... Good on then. In the meantime, enjoy those MEAN new shoes !
