2008 Lexus IS-F with clearance issues
I recently purchased a 2008 IS-F with approx 37k miles and still under Manufac. warranty.....it has 20" GNOSIS wheels and tires are :
front: 245/30/ZR20
rear: 285/25/ZR20
I am having issues with clearance and needed advise on changing tires without changing the wheels.
Thanks

Did you buy the silver one from Texas Import Sales? If so, that was a forum members car and I do believe it was lowered. You are going to need to change out springs to raise it up. By putting larger tires you will just rub and not solve the issue.
Anyway congrats on the new ride!!

I'm guessing by clearance you mean there is rubbing... If you want to keep the setup as-is, then just go to a tuner shop and have them shave or roll the fenders a bit more. Otherwise, that's how it is... gotta pay to play, buddy.

Yep, sounds like Mike's car. Is this it?:

If this is it, and I'd bet it is, the OP has a lot of reading to do to learn the car's pedigree
