EastATLGSF,

Looks great. Did you just put lowering springs on it? What brand? Looks like you put spacers on too. Makes a huge difference.

I was going to ask the same questions, makes the wheels look a bit bigger, I feel the oem wheel should have been 20 inches but that stance looks great with the 19s.

Looks outstanding. How is the ride quality? I have a 2017 with the adaptive suspension and don’t want to get coilovers but I’m not sure if lowering springs alone will get the job done.

Lexus should have went with wider 20s. I was thinking about after market wheels but itbut costs too much to get the same quality as BBS. Once everybody else changes theirs I'll be unique 😂

Ride is stiffer and I have to be more aware of imperfections in the road. Only scrub I've gotten was on a hard break before a curve yesterday. It was on the driver side. My 230 lbs probably played a role.

Thanks for the information. Since my family rides with me a lot, I think I'll hold off. Total weight for everyone is around 500lbs so if your scrubbing with 230, we'd be in trouble haha.

For sure. Like I said it was only on a hard break as I was pushing it around the mountain roads. Standard driving doesn't have any.

Checking back in after getting finished with: Tint, paint correction, ppf, ceramic coating.... Caviar looks so amazing when you see the flakes.

i am big fan of BBS, the factory wheels are pretty good quality and even though 20s would be better the ride would suffer some. I also like the look of blacked out RCF wheels. anything that’s is equal or lighter than stock wheels is a win.
