Already shaved so I guess we will see how they fit when they get here. Thanks for all of the comments and support guys.

I know how you guys hate teasers but I am going to do one anyway. I am really excited about these new wheels and my new direction.

Chrome door handles and Blue HID fogs in the mix as well. I should have some actual progress pics really soon.
dayum, i'm never gonna catch up!

LOL... Whatever Tony you know I can't just sit here and do nothing while you stack parts and get ready for whatever you have planned. These are my last mods so it will be easy for you to out do me.

you have to go completely shaved, pull it maybe 3/4 inch, and max camber to get it to fit when i slam it w/ 1mm to spare, well that's what I had to have done with my effectively same placement 19x10+0 (same as 19x11+12), but you will need a tad more pull since they are 20's.

Mark, I'm assuming Ron isn't sending the car to the body shop for paint until the wheels and tires arrive and can be test fitted, in case you have to pull the fenders (which looks likely with the offsets you have).

Ok so I have decided to let the cat out of the bag and show some more major components of my build. I really depend on the support and knowledge of my Club Lexus family so now that things are about to get rolling I may as well spill it. I know the title says VIP GS and we will see if I can pull it off and earn that title but that is my goal. Comments and suggestions are appreciated as always.

So there you go Tony and Bing its out there. Even though I know you can get the 411 straight from the shop.
