275 would fit with the correct offset, the +15's are way too much for the stock fender

i have 20x9 -x10- 245 and 275 with high offset. it sits perfect with some room to upgrade more wider or more offset. it does rub both front and rear with big bump with no fender mods. build is coming along nicely. what are the wheels that poking

soooooooo..... heres some updates! sorry i know ive been bad with updating my thread, i keep forgetting to post stuff lol. since my last update ive gotten the car painted, kit mounted, new wheels, and gotten the new air system installed. I had the privelege of meeting a couple of the big boys in the car world, as well as some other interesting people who are great at what they do. I am currently working on a custom trunk setup with wood and lights n stuff.
Now onto the pictures...

I ordered a set of airrex struts for the ls430, they came in pretty fast, which was about 2 weeks al thought i was quoted a longer amount of time.


if you've been in here before you'll know that my car has been in for paint for the last couple months. While in the shop the car received a shine front lip, an extra shine front bumper, shine side skirts, shine rear bumper, rolled front fenders, cut rear fenders, painted badgeless grille, and re-polished the headlights.


here's a picture of my painter, Sunny, that i made as a joke






heres a picture of me putting a my team sticker on the paint booth as per the shops request


here it is the day i picked it up. freshly washed n buffed


i had a local graffiti artist known as girafa hand paint my engine bay covers for wekfest. I was planning on color matching the engine covers, but decided to go with something a little more interesting.


more of his work can be found at http://www.longneck4life.com/blog/
