The ride is surprisingly good. I think that the combination of the springs and the wider tires, makes the car feel way more stable. It feels like it's planted to the ground. Oh and tires are very quite compared to stock. You know what. Since I got the tires with a 25 profile and 285 in width rather than 275, the wider 285's actually push out the wall of the tire both up and out making the wall look bigger than a normal 25 series.

Unfortunately they didn't come with wheels. I don't know if that's normal for Sevas wheels or if I have to buy them seperately? I tried contacting the guy who sold them to me but couldn't get a hold of him.

Your setup looks fantastic. I was wondering, though, would your original front setup of 245/35/20 still have rubbed had you not been using the 5mm H & R spacers?
I ask because I just purchased a used IS 250 with a set of HP Design (Tribal) 20 x 8.5 (front & rear) rims with 40mm offset (front & Rear). The tires are: 245/35/20 rear and 225/35/20 front. I need to work with what I've got, so I wanted to swap the rears over to the front and just order a pair of 255/35/20 tires for the rear, since I believe 255 is the widest I can go on a 8.5" rim width.
I ordered 5mm H & R spacers for the front and 15mm for the rear. Now I know from your thread that this isn't going to work for me. I'm wondering if it would, however, work if I omit the front spacers. Any opinions on this? Like I said, I need to work with what I've got.
My only other option would be to order 4 tires; a set of 235/35/20 for the front and a set of 255/35/20 for the rear. I'm trying to get a little more meat between the ground and my rims than what I've currently got.
Thanks for any advice or suggestions.

Those wheels look hot!! Funny thing is your not the first person to say missing centre caps when purchasing these wheels? Maybe sevas has only limited supply of these caps. However, you should get all 4 included with your wheels.
