So this is pretty much a full on conversion huh?
Any difference in the way it rides with the larger rims?
Pretty much a full on exterior conversion haha. I like the look of the F Sport but the interior options of the luxury. As for the wheels, it had the 19" F Sport wheels on it when I bought so I wouldn't know how the ride was originally with the 18" wheels. Ride is super smooth though for me!
Love those wheels. What's the width and offsets on the wheels and what size tires?
Thanks! The width of the wheels are 8.5 in the front and 9.5 in the rear. I think the offset is +35 all the way around and I had to get hub centric rings to bring the bore size from 64.1 to the OEM 60.1. The tires are 245/40 ZR19 all the way around so the back ones are a little stretched but you can barely notice. When I get new tires I'm going with wider ones in the back so all are flush to the rims...I just used the tires I already had on the F Sport 19" square rims for now. I stayed with 19" rims so I could keep the smoother ride, may go to 20" eventually.
Maaaaannnnn!!! Those 2016 F Sport wheels are sharp! I've been looking for those for a decent price but couldn't find any. After seeing yours I may have to just up and pay the cost and get them. Very nice!
Sorry AJLex not yet. I am so anxious on doing it but I have to calm down on the "car accessories" a bit from what I've done in the past few months (invidia full catback exhaust, fsport wheels, hps intake, tanabe strut bar and even the carbon fiber emblem insert along with a few lexus decals) so the wifey is getting a little bit jealous now. She says I spend more time on the car than I do with her...I have no idea what she's talking about. I'll probably work on the lip next month and if all works well, I was planning on getting it wrapped in gun metal gloss vinyl (seems more durable than paint in that location) to play off the color of the wheels.

Thanks! Yeah, they're pretty rare since they just came out. I got lucky and got them off ebay for about $1500 shipped with decent thread on the oem dunlops (had to talk to seller down in price and go off ebay and strictly through paypal). I had to keep looking everyday for a few months on craigslist and ebay.
