With the 20', the car feels a lot more stable, confident and more precise control.
Honestly, I was expecting worse ride but came out better.
I see what you mean, you prefer the lower profiled tire feel. I hear you

My car feels a tad soft too.......

My street has more than 5 lexus besides mine.

You havn't seen my wife's driving, the SC is for her, but she is probably going to hit/bent the wheel/crash one of these days. She can crash the LS first which I can careless about ( hope she doesn't crash at all, and the LS4 is safer )
When she is ready, I will get her something nice.

looks super good. What are the specs of your wheels/tires? Size/width/offsets/ tire sizes.

Any plans on kits? I think a clean mild lip kit will finish off your car very nicely.
Keep us updated with pics.

an add on kit is my next step.
I have exhaust already, but still debating if I want to install them, kind of like how it drives around with no noise at all. LOL

VERY, VERY NICE.

The LS was made to have a full faced wheel, i bet the car looks hot, whenever you decide to post side shots

We dont do any teasing here in the LS430 thread, too many older men with heart conditions jk
