Inner fender well rubs a bit on hard stops or trail braking with weight distribution to the front. I may fab up some new inner fender linings if I ever get the time or money for it. May eventually paint the calipers black.

Rears dont rub at all since I'm running a 19x9.5 +43 offset. sits exactly the same as the 19x9 +37 fronts.

My buddy painted my front calipers with a brush believe it or not. He used red paint in a can with a brush and although I was not excited about the color idea at first they came out looking professionally done. It has been 2 years and they have not faded or peeled. Your car definitely looks sweet. I like the stance with the fonr lower than the rear - and the wheels look great. Nice job bro.

love the brakes on you car that is what i need but my brake in the front broke and i was driving back from the LA Convention center, 8 miles and had to use the hand brake for better stopping power. so when i got to Midas i had almost no fluid left, so the only thing i had time to do was get the lines fixed and had to get new back oem rotors, plus the week before the alternator went out so i am low on funds..... plus saving for the iphone, so i guess the new brakes will just have to wait. looks like you got the black jade too, love it it's all waxed up one of the best colors they made.

keep the moding going

plus if any one wants to know i got 19x9 with 235x35 and i think the offset was +38 all around and i just had to shave the fenders so if i got a full load in the car it will not rub.

Is black jade the name they use for the very very dark green that nearly looks black?

I believe that just made me 10x happier to own this car lol

Wasn't sure if it was known as the black jade or not but it seems that I have one

Just converted over from Castrol GTX oil to Castrol Syntec full synthetic oil yesterday.

I'm thinking of putting 19x8 +35 offset. Do you think these will rub?

What size tire? You should be perfectly fine with a 225.

The rotors are actually from R1 Concepts on eBay. I haven't had any problems with them. $250 for pads and rotors shipped.

The car looks great...A Graphite, Black or Silver Caliper paint would look sweet. Are there any lexus center caps that will fit those rims. Lookin good so far.
