El Toro, I know this thread is a couple of years old but just reading it for the first time since it was bumped up. I'm struck with how many 'similar' cars you and I have owned. Had a 87 Corolla FX-16, a 92 Camry v6 SE, a 98 GS400 and now 05 LS430

Welcome aboard! Thanks for the thorough intro, it was an enjoyable read. Your car is looking awesome! Very clean and tasteful modding, looks pretty much like what the OEM sport pack should've been (a bit lower, bigger rims). Enjoy the car!

Multi007,

Yep, spacers and a fender roll. No big deal though. I like the look and the spacers have not been an issue. I probably did not really need to roll the fenders. Check around on the forum, I am sure there are several guys that have purchased wheels with the appropriate fit.

DaveGS4,

Wow...nice cars you have had, ha-ha! That is pretty cool. Good to see someone out there with similar tastes.

CarGuy89,

Thanks for the welcome! Glad you enjoyed my intro. Thanks for the compliments...I knew I did a pretty good job when my wife only noticed that I had tinted the windows. She thought the 20 inch wheels w/ springs would be awful looking AND riding. We went to a party one afternoon after I snuck these mods in and when we returned from the 60 mile round trip I showed her the wheels. To her amazement she did not feel a difference in the ride...and the trip was not all smooth roads, ha-ha! I hope that Lexus will start offering tasteful and clean sport packages like the European competition one day soon!

El Toro, nice wheels. Are those a stock option? I went with a custom wheel because I didn't like my stock wheels but I really like yours.

They are aftermarket wheels by TSW.

Nice to see pics with a car that actually gets some use with a little one in the back.
