Default Cleaned the car and here are pics finally

I picked up my 2006 Flint Mica in December. Cleaned it up today since I got new wheels for it and took a couple of pics. I'll put some more up later.

Lol! I know it needs to be lowered. Just can't do it all at once. Plus I really don't want to kill the ride...

No, your ride height doesn't bother me like it does most members on here. I was just kidding about the upside down pictures. I bought my sc300 lowered with coilovers. The first thing I did when I got it home was raise the height up about an inch and a half. It rode like a old truck instead of the smooth ride it was suppose to have.

No mods to the fenders. Since it isn't lowered, probably not much of an issue. If it rubs, which it hasn't yet, I thing a roll would cure it.

Looks great. I really like that color. Doesn't bother me about the ride height either.

Thanks! Mine are the 20 inch RW3s. I can't remember the offsets off the top of my head, but I can find out. Tires are 245/35R20 front on a 20x8.5, and 275/30R30 rear on a 20x10. They did include the black centercaps with the Lexus emblem. Nice touch.

Awesome! Thanks for the info! Probably 45 offset in the front...back looks in the 30's. If you can find out that would be great! I was looking at 19's myself as I didn't think the 20's would fit. It looks like you have a lot of clearance. Great looking car! If you can get the seller info also that would be great! thanks again!
