I miss the Q sometimes. I had 265 on the back and 245 on the front. Aggressive look.

Actually, It may depend on the tire. But I think the 255 Nitto's will fit but falkens are a little closer. The Nitto's have a rounded edge and better rim guard. Either way I think I could get 255's in there at the widest. Offset on these do play a part.

Looks sweet J... Your car now gives me an idea if i want to run with 20's or 19's on my LS.. I will probably do the Tanabe spring with KYB's instead, but now it gives me a look at what my car will look like with 20's dropped Here soon your ride will settle in nice and will go a little lower, when that happens, update on the ride quality, please! I would like to know, also what are your offset on your wheels?

I think the offset is +38 to +42. I am rubbing a little on the windsheild washer reservoir or the plastic inner well. Not bad, just sometimes on a hard right turn when parking. I am sure I can get in there and make some adjustments.
Actually, it seems that the ride is not too stiff. The tanabe DF's are not really stiff so the tokico's in turn don't feel that stiff. Still breaking it in...Thanks
Here's a pic in the sun...

Thanks, just bought it about 4 months ago. Did a lot of maintence my self with the help of the clublexus.com and lexls.com. It is my first lexus and I'm loving it, but now I am starting to crave more power. I like to do my cars with clean mods...nothing to over the top. Can't wait till I can get my hands on the 01-02 LS430 in Black. Those are just amazing to me.

2JZ swap, was talking to another member (name=, think it was gowest) who informed me that 2JZ mounts from a vvt-i motor (ie-IS300) will allow the 2jz to BOLT ON to UCF1x/2x LS400

Good idea but may move up the the LS430 in about 6 months, or maybe 98-00 LS400.

oh one more thing.... Is your rim setup staggered or the same width all around?

The rims are 20x8 all around. I am on a budget so I couldn't do a staggered fitment. You have to be careful to measure correctly when you go wide on these boats. The GS and SC's have more room in the back.
