Default SC300 gets it's wheels/tires!

Finally pulled the trigger on wheels/tires for the SC. My thanks to our sponsors, John and Sandy Hsu of Exact MotorSports for the install.

TSW/Lumarai Kya wheels, 19x8 F +37 with Falken FK453 235x35 and 19x9.5 R with Falken FK453 275x30. Since the LCA bushings were replaced last month sent it out for a wheel alignment.

LS400 BBKs up front - plan to paint the calipers a blue with a green hue; and axle back exhausts so the tips come out just past the bumper (similar to your look). Cold air intake, maybe. These will be spring timeframe.

Today, though, I was trying to get the inside rearview mirror repaired that the wind shield installers mucked up; may not have been totally their fault as the tightening screw has a loctite like product on it and it froze up in the "pop metal" used inside. Now awaiting on the internal parts.

Can't wait to see what you plan to do next as well.... Look forward to seeing you and your black beauty at the next local event (and the Vikings pulled one out in OT....).

Not sure..... They looked pretty skilled during the install and had them on very quickly and efficient. Same shop that replaced the steering rack and installed the Tein coilovers so they have done many before....

shops can be 'good shops' and skilled to boot, but almost every shop still gets it wrong:
