Question.

Why didn't you buy the silver or the white one at Crown Lexus?

Thanks

 

? that's an interesting question to ask. i liked this one more?

this one had lower miles (20k vs. 50k+), alabaster interior (this was important to me), and the 4 seat executive package, which was the cherry on top. this one was also super clean

 

I forgot about that one was the lowest mileage of the three

 

WOW!!!

can't wait to see them with the wheels on... very nice!!!

 

oh man i feel so stupid. Your car is a 4th gen huh

this just means my car is even older now!

i can't wait to get the air controller on...

guys- as posted before I'm the proud owner of a black on black 600, on its way to me as we speak, my question is- with the 600 being AWD, can one use different diameter( wider rears) wheels for this car?

 

Of course you can, but you need to pay particular attention to the overall diameter of the tires. The tire manufacturer will have that information on their website

 

thats good news, I thought all AWD cars had to have similar wheel diameters all around. Where did you get yours?

 

let me clarify -- you can run any width/diameter wheel you want, as long as the outer diameters of the tires you run match.

let's take a set of bridgestone potenza re11r's, for example. let's say you'd want to run a set of 18x10 and 18x12 wheels, fenders permitting. you could run a 245/45/18 and 275/40/18, because both of them have overall diameters of 26.7". you'll be able to run something like this on an AWD car. if you decided you wanted to run some other combination where the OD wasn't the same, you would cause issues with the AWD system.

does that make sense?

in my case, i'm going to try to run a 245/35/21 and 285/30/21 hankook v12 evo (hopefully i can do it without doing a pull or shave on inner or outer fenders), since their overall diameters are the same (it helps that the tires are relatively cheap for 21 inchers too). let me know if you need help double checking whether the tires you choose will work for you
