I've heard 8.5" 20s fit fine; but when you get really wide 20s they start to rub bad...

I want some 18x9s or 18x8 fronts and 18x10 5-zigen 3-piece Copse... but they are around $2500 for a set without tires

I am also getting shocks/springs... Greddy springs most likely and KYB adjsutables

18x8.5" & 18.9.5" Altstadt Type IV
Apexi N1 mufflers
blown cats

i'm waiting till after the new year to get the majority of my upgrades done which will consist of:
upgraded rotors, steel braided brake lines, kyb adjustables + eibach springs, Precision Industries Torque Converter, SRT Intake + ECU, Carbon Fiber driveshaft (crossing my fingers on this one), Headers (trying to find some, if anyone knows, then message me!) and if i find headers then a full custom exhaust and then either nitrous or save up for a turbo charger setup (yup, turbo on a 400)

as for looks, that's another year!

The rod millen intake works real good.
There are different options though,
go to http://www.lexussc400.com
and go to the intake section.
Talk to you later
