Thanks folks. I'm loving the look so far!
@Waymok: Lowering is tempting, but not in the plans for now. I'll consider it after this winter with possibly RSR springs. Main concern is ride quality from the drop in addition to the 20s and 45 series Paradas. It is also our family/road trip vehicle so I'll need to find the right balance.![Thumb Up](https://www.clublexus.com/forums/images/smilies/thumbsup.gif)
Here are two wheel teasers
And Mod Unveil: Red Caliper Decals. Like I did on the IS, first cleaned the calipers thoroughly, applied the the decals, and applied two thin coats of clear. 1.5 years later and second winter, still look like new on the IS.

Just a couple more minor mods before the full unveil. Thanks for your interest!
That pic above can be misleading to make the wheels/tires look like they stick out beyond the wheel wells and mud flaps. In fact, the wheels are just a little tucked in and almost flush for a more planted beefier look.

I will need to carefully study clearances for any rubbing on the prospect of dropping the car.
This pic better represents the offset.
