Thank you sir I know I was gonna try to do the 245 but I think I will start off with the 235. WOW three sets Baller......

I saw a person running a flat black IS with TE's with a +22 all around so what's 2mm and he had no probems so if he can do it I think I can too plus there are others in here running more aggressive set ups than this if anything +20 is conservative now. I will post pics as soon as I get them on. Thanks for all compliments guys.
ah i gotcha, you should shave the rear fenders at least. and yea i saw someone's matte black IS w/ gold TE37's +22 all around, same widths as us. but it popped out of the fender just a tad much for me, i want it straight flush, like perfectly w/ the fenders not sticking out a lil bit more. i'm just more conservative, since i don't want to be rubbing everywhere. i'll probably make the offsets +25 or +30 with spacers

That's cool, I've ran other wheels also and stuck spacers with it and had the flush with the fenders look already, I guess I want a new look to it now. the set up you are going for will look good as well guaranted.

Oh I'm sorry for the misunderstanding and what I was stateing was not to put it in any way bad, ya you know I probably gonna go back to putting the calipers back to black and putting the lexus decal on it, thanks for the advice.

Ya it came with center caps, plain ones but they look good. I got some titanium grey rays lugs but I was thinking of getting some red lugs, I already ordered some red valvestems so I think all combined it will look good.
