My concern is the rears are going to rub and I will need to roll the fenders. I noticed that their are a few of you using DF210 with similar size wheels as mine. Did you have to roll the fenders? Do they rub like crazy?


KILA!
Im running 19"x 10 rear's no rubbing here, you should be ok.

I have a silver GS 400. I have the stock 17 in rims with pilot michelin tires. I am thinking about changing rims. I would like to see some silver GSs with the black chrome rims. I really am a bit skeptical to go with aftermarket rims. I would like to find some other stock lexus rims. My GS is completely stock. I have the ball joints on order. I have some ECB brakes that I will install at the same time.

I am on Eibach Prokit springs with stock shocks. It rides a tad firmer than stock; not uncomfortable in any way. The body roll has been reduced quite a bit.

Quick question, I'm about to pick up an 01 GS430 (YEAH BABY!) and this drop is from stock springs and the Eibach Pro-Kit? It's looks nice for me. Get's rid of some fender gap and not too too aggressive since my wife will be driving the car. Plus, I have experience with the Eibach Pro-Kit and Koni Red's previously from the Acura Legend. This is what I'm going to go with I think. The Eibach Pro-Kit doesn't have a problem with the stock shocks or do you recommed I upgrade the shocks too? By the way, what size rims and tirs are those? Thanks
