I'm so torn man... I love how ridiculous it looks, especially the rear shot. But a part of me just misses the cleaner and simpler look on the equips.
Either way, keep it up. I'm sure you'll change my mind once you're all done.
And that's why you're driving an avalon, and he's driving this bad *****.

I like his ride overall, just would've liked it more sitting up a little higher with tires that actually fit the rim not stretched onto it.

I do agree it looked much cleaner with the equips.
I'm neutral and not getting into this but i do want to state my opinion on one thing.
It all seems to be defeating the purpose.
The point of wide/low offset wheels is so you can run a much wider tire, thus putting more traction on the ground for launching/road racing etc.
with this set-up now, it's defeating the purpose of even having wide rims and a wide body since it's not even functional.
If you look at the last pic, he would have more traction from running bicycle tires in the rear. He would also see a power gain, because bike rims are much much lighter, and wouldn't be dragging around all that dead weight. lol.
From a performance standpoint. you would have a much better performing car stock, then what this is right now. So technically, it's a downgrade.
But don't get me wrong, I would give this car an A++++++++ if the rear camber was set between -0.5 and -1.0
But it's his car and his name is Camber SC, if that's what he wants he defiantly got it!
and UZZ-TT, you built a pretty sick boosted 400, I know you wouldn't run those TE37's at such a gnarly camber.
I'm boosted right now, and I'm going to be running 18x12.5 CCW's in the rear, but my camber will be around 1.0

Opposite opinion = hate? Im sorry that not everyone are willing to swing on your nut and falling over this type of ridiculousness.
This encompasses everything that is wrong in the lexus/automotive community.
