Default Finally installed 2013 Rx350 rims on my GS430

Hey peeps,i finally got around to installing my RX 350 rims i purchased a few months ago,
Special thanks to Luke-(BayAreaLex) for assisting me with specs to make it happen.
The tires i used are Cooper Zeon rs3-A - 235/40/18 with a 10mm ichiba hubcentric spacer all around.
i will take better pics and update tomorrow.

Can we get some side profile pics? To See how they sit in fenderwell w 10mm spacers. They look real good. Idk y more 2 gs owners dont push rx wheels. I had the rx330 18s on my gs4 yrs ago n really liked em. I will post pics of my 430 w 19" rx350 7 spokes 235/35 rubber when i mount em up next week.

*what are the wheel specs also. Width, offset.. Thanks

Looking good - a nice drop on those wheels would look so sick

You can always tell when someone is fr NY by looking at the street parking - where in NY are you fr?

Very nice bro. Take care of them and please do us all and yourself a favor, avoid the curb rash, and park farther from the curb lol.

Sure did. I really liked them but had my heart set on the BMW style-95 wheels for a long time.

Here is my car with the RX350 wheels and the NF210 springs which lowered the car somewhere between 1-1.5" (if anyone is looking to run these, you need a 10mm spacer in the front to clear the calipers. I ran a 5mm spacer but it put a nasty indent on the inside of my wheels. 10mm is the smallest to completely clear):



Here is how the car sits now:

Yea.. it would have but the factory 17's i had was chrome and i don't think it would have lasted through the winter without getting damaged.
