I see why you're having a little rub, your tires are more squared. Where it's rubbing won't change with the drop. It will look sooooo much better. Trust me. I tried to not drop the 300. I couldn't help it. I knew the 350 was gonna be dropped, it wasn't an option.
The Tanabe NF210 are fantastic. Smooth luxury ride with 1 inch drop...just perfect. C'mon man do it!

I can't believe I'm talking someone into a drop. I remember debating with Adrian, Al, Johnee, Ed and Eric.....swearing I would never lower a car. Now I can't drive without it.

Front: 19x8.5 +40 (R-disk)
Rear: 19x8.5 +38 (O-disk)

Any info would be great! Thanks and awesome wheel selection!
Hi bb,

I wish I could help you but I haven't the foggiest idea what an O-disk is.
Derrick took care of the fitment for me... I like your idea of making it look
staggered with the different offset in the back (I opted not to because I
was afraid that they would look too small with a bigger lip).

Please keep in mind I also have a GS300 and it has puny front calipers

Edit: I just saw you have a GS350, so it definitely will be different (would
not clear the calipers)...

No worries bro. Thanks for the info. I'm still new to this scene, so I didn't realize that the 350 calipers were bigger than the 300's.

I love your fat tire/wheel even without dropping it.
