I didn't realize this post would get so popular (I'm the starter of it ) but I've had my 20's on stock suspension for a few weeks now, I think they look great and not 4x4ish at all, perhaps a little lower on the front would be better but they almost look like they should be the stock wheel.

For anyone out there who is wondering if your 20's will look good with stock suspension mine are:

20x8.5 (front and back)
235/35/R20 tires (front and back)
35 mm offset (I may have typed that number in the wrong format, it's has a 35 in it )

More pics please...

Agreed. All of my cars are lowered, including my '72 Fiat 124 sedan.
My GS had coilovers in it within 48 hours of me signing the paperwork on it.
Even my new Odyssey was lowered before I made the first payment.

Just not the same at stock height.

I always think "well, that guy tried. And failed."

coilovers would cost you anywhere from 900-1600$ or more depending, which brand and what kinda you get, you can get just the springs for around 200$, i would suggest pick up from the clublexus classifieds.
