Both cars are gone. I am saving up for a M6 Gran coupe at the present time. Gonna roll the Lexus as a daily after I get the BMW.
Here are some pictures of the shave. I recommend doing this. It doesnt cause waves in the paint like rolling does. The LS and GS have similar fenders. They dimple because its a double layer with holes in the outer layer for retention screws. It yielded 14mm of clearance. I believe that's more than just a simple roll (without pull).

I understand at time when we buy a car we expect to keep it forever, but sometimes when the %^&^hits the fan, most of the times the cars go. Yet i respect the challenge your taking to make it a well respected car in your case.Also i like how you brought the headlights back to life, looks sharp.

Sorry i just cant justify sawing off pieces of metal of the car for the sake of some wheels, what if you decide to sell it down the road and you put the stock wheels back on and the shavings of metal are missing from the car.

Regarding your relevant question, this is the base LS430; no air suspension. It's on BC coilovers with 14/12k spring rates. I can't help you with your question.

Congrats and welcome! 1st off, your CLS looked absolutely amazing, you obviously have great taste
I'm normally not a fan of chrome rims, but those 5 spokes give the LS a muscular look and I really like them. Good luck with the project, and be sure to post some pics of the M6 when you get it
