Yes as soon as the weather clears up ill snap a pic. I believe the room is there on the inside, but when I bolted up my 15mm spacers onto the rear it was way too far out and looked like if any lower I'd hit the lip on the fender if the shocks were compressed at all.

Just spoke to tire rack, they do have the Enkei Raijin 18x9.5 +45 5x100. $263 each for silver and gunmetal. Black was slightly cheaper.

Pretty set on getting some NT03m's in SBC.

18x9.5 +40.

Will probably go with 245/38/18 and do a fender roll and take a heat gun to the plastic in the front fender well and bend up the tabs holding the plastic Liner.

Hopefully I won't have to do a pull and can get away with just the simple mods to make them fit. Ill keep everyone posted!!

Btw 19.4 lbs for the 18x9.5 nt03. The tridents I have now are 28.x lbs.

Just talked to Meng Motorsports. Looks like the wheels won't be in until April/may but that's fine. I wouldn't put them on until then anyway. Gunna order my set next week, can't wait!

This guy has 9.5 +50 front. Inner clearance isn't a problem with his (with 245 tires as well) so the concave Nat03's at +40 should be fine. (Inner clearance)

Not my car lol but it appears he just wrapped both with vinyl / di-noc. That shouldn't be too hard to find someone to do that locally

Edit: front bumper appears to be Canadian?

ugh...that has to be some of the ugliest things you can do to a CT

Few things that bother me:

1.) Dude successfully made his front bumper look like a rear bumper. Why he decided to wrap that nice Canadian front bumper is beyond me. The wrapped portion looks like a rear diffuser

2.) The roof is not completely wrapped. It looks incomplete and too "narrow" where you can still see that the gutter moldings are still white. Doesn't look like a full black (panoramic style) roof...looks more like a Mohawk.

3.) I'm sorry, but those wheels are ugly as sin. Reminds me of Pep Boys/Swap meet special wheels. Cheapens the look of a brand new Lexus...

Don't get me wrong I do love the Canadian (unmodified) bumper and the rear bumper is 10000x better than the US counterpart. Lexus should have made to bumpers specific to F-Sport instead of Canada only...

Wassa786: Do it!!! get some spacer adapters and some hub rings and see it it'll work out for you. I got BMW BBS rc090 (e39 style 5's) on my CT and I made it work!!!

Just test fit some 18x9.5 +38 Work Emotion Kiwami, deep concave face.



Plenty of inner strut clearance



Here is where it got very very close. To the caliper bracket. But it clears and spins freely.



The wheel isn't perfectly straight, but it deff. Pokes a bit. Once my actual set of wheels and tires comes in ill have to see about fender modding.



And here's the exact set I finally decided on.

Work Emotion Kiwami GT Silver. 18x9.5 +38 5x100 Deep Concave



Should be here in about 6 weeks. I'm working with RavSpec in LI,NY on getting them, and some other stuff too! Can't wait!

This is the 10.5" wide wheel in GT Silver. This would only be for the super daring crew!
