The best way to avoid rubbing with respect to wheel diameter is to stay within the OEM spec. With 20s, however, you will be riding on very thin sidewall tires. It is easier to stay within spec with a decent ride is to go with 19s. As for tire spec, it really depends on the specs of the rims.

If you are planning to buy from D2, contact them. They have plenty of experience to get you the sizing to fit your needs.

As for the pricing for the Teins, that is decent installed prices. New CS are around 1300-1350. EDFC is around 300-325. So around 200-250 installation is good for an experienced Lexus installer. Under $70 for installation of the EDFC is also a great installation price.

I think the mesh style ones would look awesome, but some of it has to do with what kind of you look you want for your car. Classy and elegant? Sporty and agressive?....

5 spoke staggered with a fat lip in the back is the way to go
