Cool 21 inch MHT Drones Lowered on 2007 LS 460

Hi Everyone,

This is my first posting and I'm honored to be here amoung all the Lexus LS 460 lovers. I have been in love with Lexus ever since I have owned a 1999 GS 400. Now I have graduated to a 2007 LS 460 I have just treated myself to for my birthday.

Here are some before and after pics and please let me know what you think.
Also here are some of the specs on what I have done to my car...

Front -21x9 MHT Drone Chrome Wheels
Rear - 21x10.5 MHT Drone Chrome Wheels

Front: 21x9 39 offset. We normally use a 35 offset but added 4mm for the car being lowered.
Rear: 21x10.5 44 offset. We normally use a 48 offset but added 4mm for the car being lowered.

Front Tires 245.35.21 Hankook V12
Rear Tires 285.30.21 Hankook V12

Tanabe NF210 Lowering Springs all around
55% Window Tinting

Wald Executive Trunk Spoiler
Wald Executive Roof Spoiler

Thanks Everyone

Welcome to Club Lexus and congrats on your LS!

I really like everything you've done to your car except the wheels. Not my style, but if you like them that's all that matters!

Nice ride. 21"....the ultimate compromise in looks and comfort. Nice job. I like the tanabes but I wish they didnt make the car look so tilted forward. I guess its only when its parked. With you in it the rear drops more than the front. I think thats why tanabe designed it that way. This way if you are in the car with passengers the rear doesn't sag below the front

Congrats! The new wheel size perfectly matches the stock tire diameter. What is the offset please? Did you roll the fenders?

The offset are as follows:

Front: 21x9 39 offset. We normally use a 35 offset but added 4mm for the car being lowered.
Rear: 21x10.5 44 offset. We normally use a 48 offset but added 4mm for the car being lowered.
