Even with his new set-up, this car is still one of the best I've seen with 22's. I never noticed previously that the rear bumber was lower than the side skirts with the older body kit.
Loving the color. Cannot wait to see the new rims. A silver or aluminum finish with a crome lip would set it off.

He wouldnt be able to drive that fast anyways with those massive wheels and aggressive drop. His car is purely fashion>function.

The only time it rubs is sightly in the front going around off ramps when the front dips down it touches the plastic not even enough to damage the tire. Stop being scared and bolt on some real wheels 20s are almost retro we ve been riding 22s for 4 or 5 years now!
No one is hating here, its just a general consensus that 22's shouldnt belong on a GS. This is Club Lexus not Club DUB, if you wanna run 22's then by all means run them. Lexus cars have always been more of a VIP platform anyways, not bling bling. May I suggest a lesson in grammar

Scared.....


Just because you can, doesn't mean you should. 22's are just too big on the 3GS....just my opinion. OD of the tires is also way off....

Yeah I think he ruined the car with the paint and darker look to the wheels. I like the clean white look
