A couple of questions for you....

Where did you get the spacers and how much were they?

Have you noticed any difference in the drive since adding the spacers? Any shimmies or vibration? That's my biggest concern about adding spacers.

I've been thinking about adding new wheels that are more flush, but the spacer thing might be an option for me.
thank you! I had them made locally by Dunn Wheels in the Bronx NY. cost was $220. No vibrations or issues at all. The ride is exactly the same as stock, just looks much better now. I'll get some better pics for you today.

Looks great! It actually looks like you lowered it a bit after you installed the spacers...
any chance you can link where you bought the spacers and longer wheel lugs?

Don't forget the pictures from the back end so we can see stance!

I had a K&N filter on 2 of my cars. I hated oiling them lol.

Any change on MPG?

I really want the AEM one but they don't seem to want to make one as when I asked they said they have no ETA for it.

25mm hubcentric spacers are pretty common, you can find used ones all the time and I'm sure one of our vendors can help you

-ahem B2Autodesign

-also, these spacers include all the hardware. add spacers, torque with the included open lug nuts, put factory wheel over, and torque down the oem lugs on top of the spacer

Love the aggressive but not over-the-top sound!

I noticed you tinted your front windshield... i'm having my front 2 windows done next week 20% to match rears and my tint guy said he wants to tint entire front windshield 40%.. im just concerned about tinting entire windshield (technically its prohibited to tint the front windshield in Massachusetts, your only allowed 6 inch strip from top of windshield)
does it look really dark at 35%? Any issues with law enforcement? Im assuming its prohibited in NY. Im also not putting a front plate which is also prohibited in MA but ill deal with that when the time comes... Its a "fixer" ticket if I get one for not having a front plate but they wont be so kind if I tinted entire windshield.. lol

your thoughts...?

just an observation here. All the cars you listed above are lighter "cars" while the RX350 is a heavy "SUV." I don't know if that will make a difference when lowered.

Awesome sound and also the stance changed in every angle with the spacers bro! how you did it? I wonder if would work with the Hybrid version, because I really want to make some changes on my Rx450h sport but, because it has hybrid system I don't really know if installing spacers will affect the sensors or I don't know that are in the wheels, I don't know if it has to do with the hybrid system, thats why I regret buying the hybrid version, I can't do anything to her. Even putting the car in N mode and put the foot down, can't hear anything... anyone feeling annoyed of that????
