Dang bro you spent a while looking for tires. Glad they have it in stock or you'll be showing up tomorrow with stockies

^ Yeah, I try to make the "right" decision with my car mods, probably overthink a lot though.

Do you have any issues driving around with traction control? I'm asking because stock the front tires are shorter than the rears, but with the sizes you chose, the rears are shorter.

Or am I a n00b and Lexus doesn't use speed differential between front and rear tires for traction control?

Did you really let this tire shop hold you & your car hostage & pay them a ransom to let you go ??

As far as I know, in a RWD it doesn't really matter. But no, I haven't had any issues with traction control, and the overall diameters of both my front and rears are within 3% of the stock specs.

Haha, it wasn't like that. I just needed to make a decision quick because I wanted my car back the same day (car show the next day).

Ok thanks, reason I asked is cause on my old car (350Z) when I got front tires that were just a little taller than stock (rears stayed the same) the traction control got really really sensitive, the difference was less than 1% in tire size. I ended up driving around with traction control off all the time. But the problem with the IS350 is that it will turn back on automatically...

Thanks for the info, this will be helpfull when I upgrade the wheels on my car.

Yeah, if there was a problem, I'm sure it would have been mentioned somewhere in this forum by now. Good luck choosing wheels.
