Wow...Thats the same size and offsets I was looking at! So you have 245s all the way around? Doesn't the tire side walls apear to look a little different? Just curious...
For the fronts the side wall is pretty much straight. The rears the wheels are a bit stretched. An option that you can do for the rear instead of 245/35 you can go with 285/30, the only thing though is that the 9.5 width might be a little small so the side wall will look wider then the rim. Personally I'd go with non-staggered and go with 8.5 widths all the way around and get some spacers for the back.
just noticed the whole shaking issue at 55-60mph. i know a lot of people said hub centric rings and Im sure that is part of the issue but what type of lugnuts are you using? Acorn type? OEM Lexus lugnuts are lug centric and taking that away from the wheel seem to cause us with aftermarket wheel to shake....might help if you have a hub bored out to a Lexus like some BBS wheels.
just my 2cents.
The shop put some acorn lugs on the car when I had them mount and balance the tires. This makes a lot of sense now because when I called MRR the guy asked me if I had the wheels bored and I said no. It sounds like this is a common thing.
hymmm.....Gotta scratch getting new struts for now. How long would my stock struts last using the Tanabe DF210s?
It was highly suggested that I replace the stock struts when having the lowering springs installed. I believe the spring rate of the lowering springs lessens the life of the stock struts quickly if you elect to keep the stock struts.

Most people recommend replacing the stock struts when lowering because of the amount of labor involved = $$$.
Since my brother has his own tools and would do it for me labor is not an issue unless it'll only last 6 months then I'll just wait and get the struts next year.

I figured I do everything at one shot including the alignment.
