The car is currently sitting waxed and stored for winter in my father's garage in Chicago. In the next two weeks the 98 SC400 that I just got him should be done with the re-paint and than we will swap cars. At that time I will be posting more pictures of this car.

Tires are taller than I would have liked but absolutely no rubbing even with 3 adults in the car. The wheels are 18x8.5 and the tires are 245/45/18. I got these brand new Dunlop Sport 9000 as well as another brand new set of Michelin Pilot Sports in the same size. The shop was going out of business and all of his stuff was being liquidated. I wish they were the 245/40/18's but oh well they are on my dad's car.

did he replace shocks/spring setup or is it just the driveway and the 45's making the car look lowered?

Car has all OEM shocks and struts on it. My driveway is level where these pictures were taken. It just appears that the suspension on the car had been lowered because the tires ideally should have been a 245/40/18 and his are a hair taller because they are 245/45/18. I was really worried about rubbing but even with the wheel turned lock to lock and going into a hard corner on an on ramp the car never has rubbed, even with 3 grown men in the car.
