Looking good stud!! Do you really have a 265 tire on the back?? If so that's quite a stretch!!

The tires on my rear right now are actually 285/30/22's but due to the rubbing, I'm moving down to the 265's. I didn't know that the 285's would be such a tall tire.

Any reason you didn't opt for a 25 rear side wall?? I know it's a small difference but that might of helped out. But I'm surprised it rubbed with a 285!! I hope it doesn't rub with my 295's when I lower it with the tanabes since we do have the same offset...

I think you should have gone with a 295/25/22 in the rear. 285/25/ looks smaller than the front if you are running an 245/30/22. I was thinking that the rear of your car looked higher than the rear. I did the same thing with my GS and it always looked tilted forward.

You're right man! I initially was looking for more cushion b/c of the bad roads out here in Virginia and didn't know how the tire height was calculated into the width. The 265/30 will be stretched will fit just right. My installer has a LS460 and running the same tire on his rear.

I'm curious, where did you end up putting the controller for the Nav over ride? I have the kit but have yet to install as am looking for ideas.
