I picked up my GS350 AWD last week... So far I Added the rims and upgraded the HIDs, and added HID's to the fogs... Tint tomorrow..

Lexani LSS10
20x8.5 35ot 2" lip
20x10 38ot 5" lip
245/35/20 Falken FK452
285/30/20 Falken FK452

The car is looking ok I guess. Will be a lot better as soon as I get all this nasty chrome crap off. crack the orange out of the headlights. Paint the roof & grille black, and throw on a kit.. Then It might start to look decent.. Oh and of course I know this monster truck needs to be slammed ASAP....

Have you encountered any problems yet? Rubbing or AWD system going loco? Nice choice on wheels

car looks great, can't wait to see the black roof

for those asking about AWD issue, front and rear look almost identical except for width, http://www.miata.net/garage/tirecalcold.html

like the wheels but the offsets look weird and too aggressive. and of coarse a drop is VERY, VERY needed.

oh!........and "cracking the orange outta the headlights"??? let everyone on here know how it turns out and good luck!! your a brave dude.

I am so against lowering a ride, but this one needs a 1 inch drop especially up front....

Looks cool for now. Keep us updated on your performance observations (vibration). Also, let me know how you like those tires?

Assuming you have the right tire setup, why would it cause trouble to the tranny?
