Rear is good, front is a maybe, really depends on spoke design. Worst case a 3-5mm spacer in the front will correct any clearance issues...likely you will be ok without it, but no guarantee.

Don't know if this goes here, admins, move it if necessary.
Any info on the service of the differential and the transfer case of the AWD cars? I checked the Lexus maintenance schedule and could find any service interval, just check and check, but no recommendation on then when to do it.

Perfect thread for this question:
We have a 2016 IS S-Sport and I'm curious about the headrest adjustability. I know it can go up and down (roof to floor direction) via the two metal "poles". My question is about the front to back adjustment (front of car to back of car direction). I noticed the headrest naturally is positioned slightly toward the front of the car as compared to the seat back and I would like to move it back a bit. I know several other Lexus models have this adjustability. It appears this car would have it too because of the long slots in the leather on the bottom of the headrest where the metal poles attach. It clearly does not move easily as in other models so I removed the headrest and started playing with it but no luck. Is there something simple I am missing?

So I was able to find this thread on the NX sub forum. Sounds like we do have the capability of horizontal adjustment but I can't figure it out. Any advice?

The adjustment is ratcheting and you can only push the headrest forward, I believe 4 or 5 clicks. Once it's pushed forward fully, you can reset it to the rearmost position by pushing it past the last click.
I'm assuming it's the same on the prior model years, unless they actually don't have adjustable headrests.

You can adjust front-back on my 2017 200t F Sport.

Why after 4 years of existence is the turbo platform not receiving any real aftermarket support? Negun shows universal turbos from GReddy and HKS but cannot find anything to support that. Also do you think the 2.0 Supra will help open the doors for the 2.0 Lexus turbo?

Here's one -- volume control. Sometimes media will play at a good volume level around 25-30, but other times I have to go well over 40 to get the same level. One time I found that by switching between media and radio and changing the volume that it would change, but there seems to be no pattern to it. Either it plays pretty loud around 30 or it takes at least 10 higher to be even close.

It does depend on what sound source you're playing. I believe it is normal. My MB CLA was the same. Turn it up!

Point is, it changes. I can have it playing media well at 25-30, switch to radio, then switch back to media and it drops in volume significantly, to where I have to kick it up to 45 to get the same level. There's no consistency, it's either booming or quiet.

That's really odd. No idea on this one. Someone with more knowledge will chime in.

I have a similar issue (2017 IS300 FSport). I think the iPhone bluetooth is loudest, then the radio....with iPhone calls being very low volume (even with phone on full volume).
BTW, I have had instances where the iPhone music seemed low.....but it turned out that the volume was down on the iPhone itself.
