i think future had 255/35-20s at first, but his tires were Toyo T1-S which is a very thin tire, also I think his wheels are a higher offset, he told me a long time ago, but I forgot 
LEX since you have the same exact dimensions as me (35offset, 255 falkens) I'm interested in this matter as well.

Yeah, I just finished taking off the molding and it looks so clean. The springs already are pretty low up front, but not in rear( I purposely bought them for that, that way when I put in my system it would set even. I can't wait for them to settle.

Well, i guess that Im going to have to swap out tires w/ my GF but Im going to have my springs installed w/ my 255 on and drive my car to the tire shop and see if there is any rubbing if so the tires will get swapped if not I 'll drive over to my alignment shop and have them do their stuff .
Now, what kinda of shocks should I get ? Ltuned, Billstein, ? I want a close to stock feel, please help. and also how long could i go w/o proper shocks Im getting my springs in a couple of days and really want to slam my car already! should I wait ?

You might wanna wait, you might double the price of install if you go back twice. I have espelir's and ltuned and it is very very soft, almost better ride than stock.

Hmmm... the springs settle? A good set of coil springs should not settle (except to seat into the rubber isolators- this takes about 10 miles ). If the coil springs settle after time, they are yielding- not a good thing, as the 'rate' will be changed.
Call Eibach or H&R and ask them about springs that 'settle.' If the spring manufacturer or dealer has told you "don't worry, the springs will settle" either the springs are legitimately crappy, or they were just trying to make a problem customer go away.

). These range from independent to Lexus techs.I hope you read this with the right tone as I am not trying to challenge your position on this. I am just curious in my quest for knowledge in our cars but also cars in general.
