Smile Finally got my wheels!!!

Here are some quick pictures, maybe next week when the car is cleaned up I'll find a better location for new pictures.

Wheels: 360 Forged 20" Competition Multi (FT 20x8.5 RR 20X10)
Tires: Falken FK452 (FT 245/30-20 RR 275/30-20)
Springs: Tanabe DF210s (NOT low enough, maybe it needs more time to settle?)














Yes, toe needs to be adjusted ASAP.





FLUSHED, little to no rubbing. Only on harsh bumps.

Very nice rims, not too bling, not too bland.

How come the lug nuts in the back stick that much out ?

Choping coils ? Come on, not on a Lexus, this will make the ride terribly jumpy

The lugs stick out like that because of the offset/disk type. I am hoping to go lower then what you see. I knew I should have just spent money on coilovers!

Flush is the wheel face is sits right under the fender/quarter panel edge or slightly inside of it. It can be a good or a bad thing. Some people like it super flush in which the wheels stick out a little. I'm too chicken for that. My wheels don't rub at all in the back, but the front it barely does. Didn't remove any lining yet...

Sadly 2 week. I find it VERY odd that mine isn't settled yet because my cousin installed his springs like last week and his has already settled. Its A LOT of lower then mine. He is tucking tire all around. Maybe it has something to do with his spring production (white Tanabe DF210s, I have red Tananbe DF210s)

They are blue cause its cold outside.
