maybe number 11.) should be: Lexus IS250 (mostly 250's, some 350's)
"You need to go lower with more aggressive offsets" Then they complain about fender rubbing, fender damage, having to drive slow into driveways and over bumps, damaged front lip, excessive tire wear (inner tire), droning aftermarket exhaust, lol.

.......plus pothole-impact tire/wheel damage from the ultra-low-profile rubber.

That's a rare event compared to the other complaints I listed, but the risk is obviously greater for those riding on 20's with 20/25 series tires. The use of the lowest profile tires typically is in the cities/states were roads are less damaged too (sunbelt). I know because I regularly read the IS 2nd gen section of CL.

LOL Thank you for this addition allthough I must add my #1 disatisfaction with Lexus is my front inner tire wear on a unmodified car. Today taking matters into my own hands & going 245/40/18 on the front & specifying alignment specs. (fully polished X-pack wheels too)
I've run 19's on Eibach 350's with no tire (T1R) wear issues in 12 months, but my alignment was done by a shop very experienced with a good understanding of suspension/alignment.
