Default GS450h on RCF Wheels (20 spoke)

I got some 20" Advan GT Premium for my RCF, so I decided to throw on my stock RCF 20 spoke wheels on my gf's GS450h.

Here are some pics I wanted to share just in case some of you out there wanted to see how it would look. I had to switch out the front tires because they are too wide. Stock RCF fronts are 255/35/19 and it would touch the susp. knuckle, so I had to run 245/35/19. But, if you run a 5-7mm spacer, then you could run the stock RCF tire size up front since it would give you clearance.

I'm going to get some springs for it to lower it a bit. Most likely Tanabe NF210, don't want to lose the Active Suspension on the car so I won't be going the coilover route. Once I do that, I'll post up pics afterwards.

Enjoy!

I've got a set of BCR Coil Overs I will get rid off.
But shipping might be an issue.

I'll let them go for 300 bucks.

Don't want to get rid of Active Suspension. Thanks for the offer!

Thanks! Change of plans though, gf didn't want to lower it much at all, so ended up getting Sage RCA in the front to lower it a bit to even out with the rear height. I'll post pics once I get them.

It was matte black before, now I just had it rewrapped satin black.

The wrap looks great! How much does something like that run for a gs450h?

Thanks! It ran me about $2K here in Socal. $2k is actually a great deal considering that shops in Socal like Impressive Wraps charge $5K+ for a full wrap.

Here is an updated pic with the SAGE 30mm RCA install in the fronts. The front wheel looks a bit off, I didn't straighten the wheel out.

Cars suspension is fully stock as far as springs/struts go.

Me too, I like it even more with the RCF wheels. I think the colors go well together.
