Default New shoes for the whip

Got my I-forged rims in on Friday and had them put on yesterday. Now I need to get some Tanabe springs and get it lowered.

Rims are 20x8.5 F and 20 x 10 R. Tires are 245/30/20 F and 285/25/20 R.

Big thanks to Derrick at D2 Autosports for making it a easy process. He kept me in the loop the entire time.

Good looking set up....a great match for the color of the car.
I will never understand why Lexus sells this car as a 4x4. It's a luxury-sport sedan. Please lower it.
Are those wheels hubcentric?

iforged wheels aren't, but they come with a hubcentric ring, so it's not a problem.

Hey Shannon, the car looks SWEET, can't go wrong with the chrome lip either. Thank you very much for your business, and please post more pics (angled) when you get her lowered and I'll have the webmaster add them to the site!

BUFF 1, per your tag, love the color and really like the daytona's...but do what Snoop says and drop it like its hard. the staggered look is awesome with the gunmetal and chrome lip. congrats!! Coming from a Z06 obviously you are car enthusiast so should be no problem.
Also, what brand are the tires?
