Need advice on mods and mod sequence
I have an AWD F Sport and following are what I would like to achieve:
1) Drop. Waiting for the F Sport spring.
2) Wheels to be flushed with fender.
3) Aftermarket wheels that have a deep dish look.
I know bunch of us have gone with the Tanabe spring. Does that void warranty?
To achieve a "flush" look, is it preferable to go with wider wheels or use a spacer? Since AWD cannot get a staggered setup easily, what wheels would you recommend that have a deep dish look and would fit AWD well.
I am completely ignorant on how to get these achieved and which one to do first. Any advice is welcome! Thanks!

wheels to be flushed either 15-20mm spacers all around on stock wheels for AWD (from what i was told)
aftermarket wheels you have to search on that.. u can go on ebay type in 2013 lexus gs wheels and u see all types of wheels and get the sizes and specs.. then u can decide on what size, width and offset you want.. to get the flush look you either get spacers depending on if aftermarket wheels don't have the correct offsets you want or find wheels with the offset of your choice to get the flush you want..
aftermarket springs WILL VOID warranty unless you get F sport and installed at dealer from what i was told at dealer in PA.
AWD you can do staggered but you gotta make sure the wheel/tire spins at the same speed.. so for example.. some people with awd cars do 245-35-19 & 275-30-19..
if you go on http://www.1010tires.com/TireSizeCalculator.asp and find out on the tire/wheel sizes.. its your car and your choice on what you like and want for wheels so you gotta search and see what YOU think would look good..
google search wheels and you can type in ur car make model and year and see all the different types of wheels ... here are some on ebay http://motors.shop.ebay.com/Parts-Ac...&_sop=16&_sc=1
