Default New Guy- 2008 GS460

Hey guys, I'm a new to the Lexus game and I have a few questions. I bought my car 2 years ago and I finally bought new wheels and I have a set of Megan Springs (2" drop). I was looking at the in the box and they're not labeled front of rear. I guess whenever I install these things I can differentiate the front from the rear? Thanks for any info on this. Here is a pic of the car with the wheels.

Thanks Texas Taco. I've lowered a ton of accords, civics and sentras back in the day and all of those were labeled with F and R. I figured these would be the same way.

Is it just my imagination or are your tires going in the wrong direction?

I'll have to look into that this evening when I get home. I'll hopefully be finished with the springs tonight as well.

Finished the car late last night. Here is a pic I took this morning before I took it to the alignment shop.

uploading pics can be a bugger here. i recommend you use a 3rd party hosting site like tinypic or photobucket, and then link the pics back to here.

The wheels are TSW Rockingham's. 20x8.5 in the front and 20x10 in the rear. Not sure of the offset. I have a buddy with a wheels shop and he did all of the figuring for me on that. I had the front aligned yesterday and I'm pretty pleased with the ride of these Megan springs. My wife drives the car more than I do and she said the ride didn't change much so that makes me extremely happy. Plus it handles better than what it did before.
