Pulling the fenders is the half of it, its what you can't see from the outside that will set you free from rubbing.

I wonder if this whole slamming your Lexus and throwing on over-lipped, almost cartoon like, wheels thing will ever appeal to me. I dunno maybe I have to adjust to the new trends still.. but it looks like your car has a giant crap in its pants and suspension that can't handle it. What happened to "class"? What's with these new, obnoxiously overkilled trends of running wheels 3-4 inches wider than they should be and angled like the axel is caving under stress? Do people actually think that looks nice or is it just an effort to make your car as "loud" as possible? I can't wrap my head around it, and I feel like im the only one.. If your gonna ruin your car like that I'd say the money is better spent on a Ford Taurus or an Impala or something.. Or just paint your Lexus pink, throw 22's on it and call it a day..

i with you with the rims cartoon look which to me= sticking out! hahaha but for me every car ive had been slammed/low... a car to me never looks bad when it goes low... And big lip rims give the car a whole new character but some people over do it, and to me its kinda becoming a band wagon trend like people are competing how wide or low offset they can go which is retarded... but its thier money so let them do it... and also ford taurus, impala thier pretty much same price as gs now so its the same, if u really wanted it to have "class" just leave it stock. but my model is get that car to the ground, and my rims are wide but my camber isnt crazy and no matter how fat the rims are how low the offsets are aslong as they make it tuck into that rear quarter panel im game! whether its camber or body work aslong as it tucks without a fender flare, or looks like a big *** budge sticking out of your body its clean to me.

I completely agree gsjason300. I'd never take that away from anybody; always do what you like to your ride 'cus that's all that matters, right?

As for the Taurus and Impala - I suppose I should clarify
