here's mine on 255/35 zr20 falken tires.all the way around.but it's not dropped.

D2-AUTOSPORT

I used to have a 96 GS300 the car had:

20x8.5" Dronell CA-05
35mm offset
255/35-20 Falken GRB fk451
INTRAX 1.75" springs (settled to about a 1.9)
KYB Struts

You will have no problems with the 255 all around. I will say this though, it will look a little better with a 245 in the front. i tried it with my first gen (switched rims with someone for a day) and it looked better. The only rubbing I ever had was a minor touch of the plastic when backing up at full lock.

Here are a few pics, good luck

I had the Intrax on mine, and the ride wasnt bad, softer than my current coilovers (I'm alot lower on my coils though)

Offhand, I'm not sure what other springs are availible. PM SUPRATRD, and ask him what he can get for you, he is a parts dealer for ClubLexus.

My humble opinion, with 20s on a 1st gen, more than 1.25 is needed.

Did the mod myself.painted the chrome trim black,xenon projectors from a bmw Z4.easy to do,I had to made brockets to hold the prjector in the same place the stock goes.no glue used,can still use the OEM aiming screws on the headlights.

Here is a picture of my car on tein cs coilovers, its really low.. However, I used to have eibach springs and they were not good enough for me, hence I went the coilover route. If you are planning on getting springs, make sure you get tanabe as those will lower your car the most. Check out the suspension link on my website for more info about the springs available for our cars as well as shocks.

Headlights are stock and have been cleared out on the corners. I also added JDM fiber glass eyelids to them as well.


The cheapest coilovers are the TEIN HA and the JIC SF1's. They can be had for under $1,000, but the only problem is that they wear off quick and you will bottom out.

Tanabe will lower the most without sacrificing comfort, however Intrax springs are known to sag the most and will lower the car the most. Intrax offer a veyr bumpy ride.

The only shocks available for our cars that are readily available are the KYB GR2 shocks.
