New Wheels: Avant Garde M310 Dolphin Gray
Just got these guys on...
I don't plan on dropping it, I have about 60k+/6 years left on my warranty and I don't want to void any of it.
Going for an sporty classic look and I think I achieved it with these wheels. Bought the package at Sonic Motor Sports in Mt. View
08 GS450H
Hancook V12
- 245/19/35
- 275/19/30
No Rubbing
Avant Garde M310 Dolphin Gray
- 19x8.5
- 19x9.5

I was told by Lexus that F-Sport springs wont work on the 450H because of the extra weight of the batteries
changing out the springs would void the suspension warranty

The design incorporates a consistent wire size that is ideally wound, yielding a progressive spring rate, helping to prevent bottoming out while preserving much of the original ride quality of the vehicle.
The springs are a direct replacement for the OE springs and have the correct ends to be compatible with the factory springs seats. They can be used with either the OE shocks or F-Sport Performance Shocks.
Specifications:
Ride Height Change - Front 25mm
Ride Height Change - Rear 25mm
Spring Rate Front 75 N/mm (12% Stiffer)
Spring Rate Rear 74 N/mm (12% Stiffer)
Does not apply to GS models equipped with the optional AVS (Adaptive Variable Suspension)
Applies to both Rear Wheel Drive (RWD) and All-Wheel Drive (AWD) GS models.
Availability: In Stock
Options: Performance Spring Set
Also Fits: GS300: 2006 - 2006
GS350: 2007 - 2011
GS430: 2006 - 2007
GS450h: 2007 - 2011
GS460: 2008 − 2011

Direct from Sewell's website, who are a vendor here.
Whomever the "Lexus told me" was, I'd give them a wide berth in future, as they're not quite as savvy as expected.
