Default Alignment Issues with DF210's

Anyone have alignment issues with running DF210's? I currently have the NF210's (06 GS430) and just put some Works Euroline SL's in 19x9 and 19x10 on. I am running a 245/35/19 and 275/30/19. It could use a little more drop I think. Although I didn't want to go that way its cheaper to slap on a pair of DF210's then for a fat tire setup of 245/40/19 and 285/35/19.

The overall diameter increased .5" for front and .6" for rears if I go for the fat tire setup and the speedo will be off by 3.6%(slower).

If I leave on the current tires and go with DF210's. I get 2"(DF) - 1.3"(NF) = .70" drop extra(front) and 1.8"(DF) - .9"(NF) = .9" drop extra(rear).

I know some of you exhibited some rubbing issues with the DF210's running 20"s from the front.

Anyone know of anyone who currently has some DF210's in stock? I heard they are on backorder.

I am waiting for some more options on Coilovers at the moment. The TEIN's doesn't seem to be the way to go at the moment from the initial reports.

Will post pics soon. Its been rainy and crappy since I got them on last Friday.

50 views and no one can answer this? I know that several people have the DF210's. Any alignment issues or just slightly off?

Bump

Yeah the camber would be the area that I would mostly be concerned with. Just wanted to know how close to factory specs they were able to achieve once they dropped using the DF210's.

Just wanted to make sure if the excessive wear eats at my tires every 5-8K miles then it would be cheaper in the long run to use a fat tire setup. Thats all.

my lexus guru tech could not change the camber setting when i dumped my ride. Only thing he could do was make the toe as good as possible to minimize the wear
