always look at pressure when it's cold (overnight). hot means nothing because you don't know what "hot" is. imho, 40-42psi is what i would run, cold

Thanks for the input guys. I'm REALLY loving these wheels and like mentioned above ihadnt seen a blk SWB with these rims but just seeing 305's car was more than enough inspiration for me

I guess I'm just a worrier when it comes to thin stretched tires and high psi

O and 305 I had a guy in a Granturismo yesterday stop right next to me ( young European guy) and tell me nice car, I was like LOL hahahaha. But ya the attention is starting to make tinted windows mandatory

(sorry they are crappy ip4 pics and it was raining)





the wheel specs are 22x9F 22x10.5R +35F +38R
tires are Continental DWS 245/30/F 295/25/R

Let me know what you guys think of it so far


Very nice and well done, let us know when you lower her and I smell a possible photoshoot

The brakeing has changed a little bit and needs just a bit more effort but I think that's something I'll get used to.acceleration has cut. Down just the slightest but doesn't really have that much of an effect. I can definitely feel that the car is higher but it's kinda a nice feeling. Thesenwheels DEFININETLY. Turn heads as I've gotten LOTS of nice comments surprisingly and a lot of looks. The ride is probably 10-15% stiffer and the tire noise is up and kinda howls on some concrete roads but it is still very comfortable and almost nothing compared to any of my old sport cars. You wouldn't notice it if you didn't really try to listen for it. Also I didn't realize how much the tire would be stretched with these sizes but I'm not sure if that's just how all big rims are supposed to fit on. I'm going to do a photoshoot but I'm going to wait until I get the springs on. If I had seen how it would turn out on stock height I probably wouldnt of gotten the springs but since I already have them I'm gona go ahead and install them. Next on my to-do list is tint. Also thinking of painting the grill black. But I rally like how this turned out. I will try to get some better quality pics tomorrow if the weather holds up. Stay tuned !!
Snap those necks with those Vossen wheels Nice write-up!

I am glad to see you went with the continentals. They are not as quiet as stock but thye have an insane tread wear rating.

Is there a camper kit for these cars that will prevent the camber wear? I know I read somewhere before of someone doing some homemade solution but that seemed to resolve the camber issue but that is a full custom solution that I think might be a problem if I run the stock tires for what ever reason.

i don't think there is a camber kit for the car. go to a good shop and adjust the toe to compensate the wear

Lexus makes control arm brackets +2mm to help with camber adjustment. these should solve the problem for it. there only 30-40 dollars so its worth it.

Part numbers are:

LH:
1. 48617-50030
2. 48617-50050

RH:
1. 48614-50030
2. 48614-50050
