ask and you shaaaaallllll receive

well, got these in the mail...so all the pieces of the puzzle were here..




and heres the "finished" product. (in the pic, you can see the rear is a tad lower, thats because i had the original suspension in the trunk, and 2 wheels in the back seat.. when i took them out, it sits perfectly even.)

again, they are Linea Corse LC818 19x8.5 front, 19x10 rear on a 1998 lexus gs400 (added that so the pic will now pop up on google images for people who search for pics of these wheels on a GS)

Looks actually good! I just realized you have tan interior on silver ext. Don't think I've seen that combo before.

no no no,... lol... gonna raise it up a tad... just a tiny bit though.. its dragging everywhere..and thanks

yeah, it was nice doing it that way... i hate the slow builds.. im too impatient for that

thank you and its not tan, its gray, just looks that way in the photo

so far they are great!! the ride is almost as nice as the stock suspension, which i honestly didnt expect! and i have the fronts on full soft, and the rears are unknown.. forgot to adjust them, so im gonna do it tomorrow


thanks guys for the compliments

Welcome aboard, your off to a great start. Your SUBI and Mitsu look awesome as well. Totally different with a Lexus, more luxury yet fun to modify and daily drive.

thank you... i wont be going too crazy with this car though.. and besides the full stereo system thats going in it within the week, and a few small subtle details, its pretty much done.. ill probably add things here and there.. but it will be at a snails pace from here on out

and as for the wheels, the funny thing is, the reason i first thought about buying a lexus or older beemer was because of these wheels.. i love the look of them. and knew i had to build a car with them.

absolutely ZERO rubbing issues the rears were rolled, but not aggressively, i just rolled them inward a little bit. and honestly dont think i would have needed to at all.. i think theres enough space that the wheel/tire combo would have cleared the stock setup.. and yeah, they are the 30/38 combo

tire sizes are 225/35r19 and 265/30r19 .. next set of tires i might add some sidewall though

thanks have to admit im glad you didnt buy em hahaha

thanks! yeah, the lexus is quite a different car then my evo and subie.. but thats why im liking it.. so far im not missing the crazy power and turbo sound/feel, which i assumed id really be missing by now.

Wow the 98's are selling like hotcakes these days. Especially here in Cali. Seeing more and more of them..
Welcome to the club! I like the STi big contrast between your two whips and the lex. Nice drop on the lex too.

love it! I also came from the subie world. I was actually following your build on nasioc.

I just picked up an 03 GS 430. Mine is dead stock though, you work fast!

here's my STi.

yeah, theres a lot of 98-01s on craigslist.. i know, i searched high and low through that site.. lol.. got very lucky with this one... and thank you.. i do miss my old cars.. but this one is just too comfortable

hahahaha... thats awesome!! what are the odds! so do you still have your STI? or did you sell it for the GS?

gorgeous car btw!

TigerBrand

Still have the STi. I just wanted a comfy auto car for my daily traffic commute. ....plus I always wanted to build a VIP car. It will happen, slowly but surely.
