I Have My UCF20 On IS350 Wheels I Will Take A Picture Of It Tomorrow. Its Better If You Go With 255 All Around. Instead Of 225 And 255. Makes The Gap Close Down Evenly. Yes The IS350 Will Clear The Brakes On All LS400. Mine Barely Clears It So Yea No Big Brake Upgrade Haha.

Okay I Took Pichazzz For You Guys.
Tell Me What Cha Guys Think. But I Think I Might Switch Them Out For 19" And Go For A Big Stance With Wide Offsets. Im Still Trying To Find 255 For The Front So Its Not Done Yet. But One Of My Lexus Mechanic Friends Is Doing 255 All Around With IS350 Wheels. So I Will Take Pics Of That When I See Him Again. I Dont Believe There Is Any Difference Between The IS250 Or Is350 Wheels. They Should Be The Same. Unless It Comes Of An IS250AWD Those Come With 17" Otherwise Said. The Normal IS250 Comes With Either 17" Or 18" But Mostly Equipped With 18"

My Car Is Already Lowered On Bilstien Shocks And Tanabe Springs. 1.5 In The Back And 1.7 In The Front

Here They Are:

It Has A Purdiee Nice Feeling To It. When You Cruise It Just Feels Stock. But Once You Start Ripping It Than Its In The Middle. You Can Feel The Road Sometimes But Nothing To Bothering. I Just Hate These Pot Holes In Sd LoL. But So Far Im Happy. One Fall Back If You Go Over A Speed Bump Go Very Very Very Slow. The Tanabe Springs Tend To Be A Little Bouncy On The Speed Bump.
