Default New shoes!! Updated pics on pg 2 & 3

What do you guys think of these on a 04LS? 19X9 upfront with 15mm spacers and 19X10 for the back! 245 40 rub like a b@#$%, therefore I had to raise the car up almost an inch...Maybe I should go with 235 40 and lower the car a little!

celsior plate with lexus badging? i can't see the pic too well, but it looks like the front is sticking out more than the back, if it is i guess i am not feeling it, may be you can spacer the rear too.

Thanks for the compliments guys...yeah the Iphone camera wasnt liking the 18deg weather too well!! As far as the spacers go, that was the smallest spacer I could use to get these wheels to clear the caliper! If I use a spacer for the back then I will have more rubbing issues. Well Im going to use a smaller tire for the front to see if it works and lower the car a little more to get the nice aggressive stance!

By the way, the front does not sit way to out ...just a little bit due to the spacer!
