yeah what size tire are you running and what are your wheel specs? Include offset so we can help direct you where to start

agreed post some pics and give spec on the wheels and tire and there can be a determination on the route you need to take, looks like you are on springs because anything else would be adjustable.

Looks very nice!! Nice wheel choice. I ask everyone who posts up wheel pics to add your info to this sticky reference thread that many use for their wheel research. Can you please post your details here also? https://www.clublexus.com/forums/sho...72#post7475672

Very nice ride. Are you rubbing on the inside or outer fender? What's the offset and tire size? I am an advocate of shaving the rears if you are rubbing on the fender lip. Good luck which ever way you go. Big up for a clean and classy set up.

Thanks guys! Those are 22" staggered Savini BM3's with 245/30/22 in the front and 285/25/22 in the rear, lowered on a set of Tanabe springs. Not sure what the offset is, but according to Savini its the correct offset for the LS. The rear rubs on the plastic piece thats screwed into the fender...local shop is suggesting taking that off and rolling the fenders. Looks like people are suggesting shaving them, so I'll tell that to the shop.

I am thinking of going with Michelins at my next tire replacement and I am worried about rubbing in the rear. My rear right already rubs very slightly

yeah rolling might leave a little dimple in the fender so shaving is recommended for the rears.
