RamiRom - your car looks beautiful, but I have a couple questions. I'm considering running the same width/offset in the back on the same Tanabe springs and was wondering if the wheel pokes out from the back fender at all. It's hard to tell from your pictures, but it looks like the wheel might come out past the fender when looking straight from the back or right down over the fender.

Also, have you noticed any rubbing with this setup?

Thank you for your help!

Kyle

Am I the only one who had trouble with the hubs?
Got wheels installed but the hub rings don't fit tight on the hub. That causes vibration. Looks like the hub is a teeny bit smaller than usual for Lexus.
Am I the only one with the problem?

Do you mean wheels don't fit on the hub or the hub centric rings are too small? If you're not using a hub centric ring then whoever installs the wheels needs to be sure he tightens them up correctly....sounds like he just used an air wrench and tightened down on them....which is the wrong thing to do. You need to use a torque wrench and make sure the wheel is even on the hub (again, if you're not using any hub rings).

Here;s what I mean.
The hub measures 60.1
The hub-centric ring for 60.1 is too loose fitting on the hub.
The hubcentric ring for a hub measuring 59 cm is too tight to fit.
The looseness using the 60.1 ring causes vibration in the wheels.
Does anyone else have this problem?

I put on the wheels and rings that I used on 2004 LS430 and things fit fine. I do not experience any vibration.
