Wink How to Ruin IS250AWD

Here we are... an innocent looking IS250 AWD:

Practical
Can be driven in Snow
Looks conservative
No worries about potholes or inclines
Quiet



And this is what I will do to it:

Can not be driven in snow, or heavy rain
Looks aggressive
No longer immune to road conditions
Prone to scrape
Loud.. ish




Smack some fat wide tires on the car









Sike!



The setup is for anyone interested:

F sport Springs

Work Emotion XD9 18x8 +35mm, 18x10 +38mm
Sumitomo HRZII 235/40/18, 275/35/18

North East Represent!!!!



Side Profile for those curious younglin's

Come on Lexboi250 it not like your running it year round plus if you get the rite tires your good to go as mine they are 25.1 dia. for rotation which is pretty much safe

one of the first awd owners ive seen to go with the f-sports. most would say that they are way too conservative for the stock height of the awd model.

how do you like them, the drop looks perfect, even for only 18s
