Nope, running 265/40/R22 tyres. I was thinking about RS-R springs, but they don't ship to my country and I noticed that with passengers on the backseats my rear wheels rub the inside of the fender trim when driving over some bumpy roads on normal speeds, so I ditched that idea.

You're in CA? I don't see why you wouldn't be able to have a vendor ship you a set. For some reason, it looks lowered.

I have 285/35 on 22x10.5 and I trimmed inner fenders just a tad.

I am in Lithuania. I had to select a state when I registered on these forums anyway, so that's what I did.
If it looks lowered, then it is good enough! Maybe because of the height of the tires..

LOL after few hours I remembered that it is the effect of the painted fenders...

Do we have any photoshop masters here who can photoshop the black trim, front grill, front fog light pieces, roof rack bars, etc. white? Of course, on a white RX?

Hmmm...it it looks good, I may just do it.
