Very nice. Are you running a fat setup?

The true "FAT" setup for 18s is to run 45/40. Some here have done that. I've thought about it for ride comfort but changed my mind due to way too much rubber on the sidewall.

Maybe this is dumb but are those headlight washers on the front? Are they aftermarket? I didn't know Lexus had those?

When he said "fat setup" I was under the impression he meant staggered setup and that is why mentioned the sizes of the tires!
Just like you I don't particularly like the "fat setup" simply because of too much rubber on the sidewall!

did u get the alarm installed yet? also, do you have different rim size for front and rear? or is it the same size? can u even put that wide of a tire on the rear if the rim is the same width as the front?btw, i am contemplating putting on my shoes tomorrow...cuz we have a heat wave here! 40 degrees!

so the fat setup is 235/40 for the front and 265/45 for the rear? can this be done if both the front and rear rims are the same width? thanks!
