Very nice. What size rim do you have, and what tire size. I have 20's and I have the eibach pro kit and it fits real nice. But beware of the RUBS....heres a pic for you

It rides pretty well, even after the spings are installed.

Dj, mine rubs slightly in the front. I really like those Nads.. haha.. I went with the same size in the front 225/35/20 after seeing yours. I went with 245/35/20 in the rear since the wheels were not staggered. I have some Tein springs for a GS to go on. Once i get it installed and cleaned up ill post some more pics. The wheels are made by Privat and are 20x8.5 all around +38 offset.

Im glad to see you enjoy my NADS! Your ride is looking very nice. I like the color combo you put on. Good luck with the springs. It makes a world of difference in the look. Good job so far...love it.

Nice wheels! I just got mine today also. You are running the Privat Netz, right? I have an AWD and I put on a 19" staggered set . My Tanabe gs300 springs should be here tomorrow. Anyways, your ride looks nice, good choice in wheels!

I did and the staggered set only has a .06 difference in the Overall Diameter (OD) from the front to the back wheels. I called Lexus techs at Bob Baker and Woodfield Lexus to confirm that it would be OK before I placed the order. I gave them the specs and they gave me the thumbs up. But if anything goes wrong, I'll make sure to post it at CL.
