255/35 front
275/35 rear

rubs the front only when i go reverse in an angle..
rubs crazy in the rear.. i had to cut some of the painted plastic caps near the rear doors, sand down the plastic wheel well lining near the rear bumper, and had to roll my fenders..

i think i will get 245/35 front and 265/30 rear the next time i buy tires or go stretched look by going 235/35f and 255/35r...

oh.. to clarify, my car came with the stock navi.. all i did was convert the ecu to the gen 4..

i got the ecu from a salvage yard.. www.car-parts.com off a 05 pruis.. paid 800 for the ecu and disk.. it was just a plug and play conversion

thanks... i havent been to vegas for at least 4 years.. it was fun, but i don't think i'll drive there again with the 20s on... there were a couple spots on the highway that could have (hoping it didn't) bend any of my wheels..

thanks... i was waiting for the vaistech also but gave up on them.. i bought my convertor through a group buy at acurazine.com... i have a 3.2TL also so i'm on the forums over there also... i don't think they have any groups buys on them at the moment, but check there often.. when they do have a group buy, just tell them you also own a tl...

i think i paid 140 shipped via group buy for the non-plug and play..
it would have cost another 100 for the plugs.. i couldn't justify 100 bucks for cutting and splicing 4 wires.. i went with the cheap route...
