Note the rub marks:



Note the modded metal flangie from hell



Do a little cutting, melting and bending and you too can go through tires every month

...well maybe every six

Dude,
I guess you are notorious on CL for having a slammed GS on Dubs, but now that you have that TTE front lip we'll also have to post our latest mod that will prevent you from ever scraping it. That front lip is gonna stay as smooth as a baby's butt. We'll make sure of that !


Stay Tuned.

RMMGS4 has some amazing tricks up his sleeve. I'm just a lucky guy who happens to live close to him. I also get him free software so that is working towards my advantage too

Wow, you are having that much problem with 20s? I was looking at your side pic and could swear that I am riding a tad lower than you. I understand 20s /w tires will increase the overall diameter by an inch compared to my 19s (which should be very close to stock diameter size). Could that possibly be the cause of your rubbing?

On my BMW E39 I had 20's Hamann PG3 previously and it was tucking even lower in the back than your picture and except for some minor fender rolling, my car can go pretty much anywhere. Of course, the total height of the car looks as high as stock still....

....I dunno, after my Bimmer, I am never much for big 20's wheels. Seriously though, the 19s I have now make the stance so nice and low and I can tuck it in the back and still make full rotation the in the front and not rub anywhere.....

Noooooooooooo freakin' way DGOT20s. I am not going that way anymore. The bimmer has returned to its stock condition and *kicked* back to the parents for their daily driver. No way. Too much pain, especially on $4000 Hamann PG3 rims.

Synergy - Your car is stunning! It looks perfect. Every front page of a Lexus GS catalogue should have a pic of your car!!! What a way to boost sales! I am in love!
