You're very welcome. RSR Downs or Super Downs are perfect for the car just matters on how low you would like to go. Failed to mention to you that you can also run 235/35/20 in the fronts without any issues.

Change it to 235/35/20 or 245/30/20 but the 245/30/20 is a little short. If it was my car for sure 235/35/20 fronts 275/30/20 rears.

Technically not aftermarket wheels, but not stock to an RC 350. These are take offs from an RC F. They are new and I purchsed the wheels AND tires for $1700 out the door. They fill in the fenders well, especially the rears. Will be lowering the car next week. I will post pics then as well. The wider RC F tires fit with no rubbing issues.

Tires: Michelin Pilot Super Sports
Front: 255/35/19
Rear: 275/35/19

Wheels: BBS Lexus wheels
Overall weight savings is 40LBS for new wheel and tire combo compared to stock wheel/tire combo.

Is this correct? The fronts are 19x9 +60 and rears are 19x8 +45??

I've been running the following for over a year while lowered on BC coils, no rubbing/issues. Previously was on RSR springs:
Work Wheels Zeast ST1
20x9 +38 245/35/20
20x10.5 +45 275/30/20

All of your cars look great! I just built 19x10 F and 19x11.5 rear, on an awd rc350. I will release the specs for those who are interested in a very aggressive setup, but it will take commitment.

Tire sizes are 235/35/19 & 275/30/19. 25.5 rolling diameter, 3.2" sidewall, 0% variance, and section widths to an even stretch front to rear.

More into lets fit the biggest wheel possible, and these cars fit alot under the body. Once these wheels are on I will be building a 10.5/12" setup on 245 & 285.

Must have:
coils w custom spring rates
camber arms
no roll or pull
