It might look good on a black car but not sure on a silver...because of the spoke being black on the side. Just my opinion.

I see those are wrapped in Falken FK 452's IMO not a good tire. Also i would go with 255/30/22 front, and rear295/25/22.

they look good but i do have to agree that the falken 452 is a garbage tire. they're pretty loud and even though at a 300 thread wear rating.... they really do not last that long.

Make sure offsets are right (between 35-40mm on avg) and bolt circle is 5x120. Also make sure it comes with hub centric rings

personally i think the price is a bit high considering the condition they're in, etc. If you like it, try and negotiate the price a little lower.

As for people's opinions on the FK452, I have had countless sets of FK452s on my cars and not ever a single problem; however, I don't run crazy fitment like some of the guys out there who run -7* to -10* camber and then complain about a tire blowing/bubbling.

lol falkens are okay but on a lex probably not considering the weight of the car...

care to elaborate on that? i'm trying to understand why the weight of the car would have any bearing on the review of a tire, unless you're deliberately buying the wrong tire size and ignoring the load rating.

well thats what i meant load ratings. going 245 instead 255 or 265 wouldnt mess with the performance of the tires????? since everything that i have seen with 460 suspension wise are used on lx tundras, etc you would want to pay attention to load ratings, correct?

I was digging thru some old iPhone pics, found these pics I took when my car was at the dealer getting the valve spring recall done and so was this one.
