in other words, i wanna ask what is the offset i should get that would allow me to get the biggest lip in the front and the back WITHOUT MODIFICATION. by the way, i am deciding whether i should drop it with the tanabe DF210's or the NF210's. i really dont wanna lose that smoooooth lexus ride.

IF YOU HAVE CURRENTLY HAVE 20'S ON YOUR CAR AND HAVE A DROP WITH ONE OF THESE SPRINGS, I WANNA HEAR FROM YOU!!!!! THANKS!!!!!!!

i think you should open up a new thread because your question isnt necessarily regarding just lexion 203's, but basically the best offset for 20x9 20x10 wheels. i currently have 19x9 19x10 lexion 203's and have 38mm fronts with 15mm spacers to make it an offset of about +23 and 45mm rears with 25mm spacers to make it +20 in the rear. i need to play with it more to get the best fitment. i have just been playing with it.. but there are some factors you have to think about

~tires - are you going to stretch your tires or just have them regular
if you stretch your tires you will be able to fit a lower offset

~camber - are you going to adjust the camber on your wheels at all..
adjusting camber will allow you to fit a lower offset as well

~lowering - are you going to lower your car?
if you dont lower your car that much then a lower offset will stick out of the wheel well called a "poke" and you probably would be better running a higher offset.

with my car i have ~2.5 inch dish front
about a 4 inch dish in rear
