Your neighbors will probably think there is some Lexus LS400 obsessive compulsive disorder happening.
Do you find the 17" wheel ride characteristics more to your preference over the 16" wheels?

NO, the 16's have a softer ride and maybe (probably not) a touch quieter. (it could just be the tires).
but they are "Good looking"
someone ask, here is me, 2013

Next some Bilstein HD's with the stock springs on the lower snap ring setting. That will lower the car about 1/2" and reduce some of that fender wheel gap.
BTW, love your car history pics.
