Default I finally got some new wheels/tires

After a long time of searching for the perfect wheels(within my very low price range), I finally got a set of brand new GS400 wheels with brand new maxxis tires. I know alot of people have done this set up, but I really liked how they turned out. Here are the pics....



JK thats my dad's old toyota van. my friends call it the bread van for some reason. yes it still runs....gotta love toyota





I really want to add some suspension components on, but I like the soft suspension too much right now to change anything. Maybe when I get more money...

Nice choice for wheels.

Your suspension looks SUPER high. A lot higher than anything I've seen. I'm on stock suspension and not anywhere near where you're at. Are you shocks brand new or something?

I am fairly sure they are not new. Do they really look super high?

Them old Toyota vans are great. My parents used to have an 88 model (twin sunroof blah blah blah) too and they traded it in back in 99 for a brand new Tarago (Previa), and they got $15000 trade-in value for it lol.

The GS wheels suit it really nicely but yeah it seems like your car is sitting quite high for stock. My car is stock too except on 18's.

What could be a cause of my car being Super High? Shocks dont get higher over time....Maybe the previous owner installed new shocks, but looking at the condition of the shocks, I really doubt it.

Hmm... did you or anyone happen to touch any of the suspension components? Perhaps, previous owners messed with your sway endlinks.

Try checking your sways. Heres a link to a thread that provides more details and pictures. https://www.clublexus.com/forums/sho...d.php?t=177329
