Default I've decided to open myself up to the scrutiny of Club Lexus by...

...showing pictures of my brand new used IS wheels on my SC with no drop! Now before the slamaholics, Autobot Jazz body kit havers, and resident ifitaintdroppeditaintrightians tar and feather me- allow me to explain that I've been there and done that. Long gone (for me) are the days of pinky finger space between my tire and fender, Eibach pro kit vs sportline discussions, and ball busting and potential low sperm count producing coil over rides. Though I'm not mad at anyone still in the phase, I'm just too d@mn old.

Stock 255/40's are on the rear, 225/45 on the front as it's not a muscle car and I didn't want any rake. And a mere $500 bucks to boot. I personally love how it looks just how it is, no drop needed IMO. But I know the following images may force vomit projectile style from some domes, so I apologize in advance.

I am a slam *****, but i still think your car is very clean and respectable. just drop it like 5 more inches. lol. different strokes, as long as it's clean its good in my book!

I don't intend on dropping my car, either. Perhaps a wheel upgrade is in the future...

Maybe just a tiny bit? If you want to keep the ride quality go with some Supra springs, would give it a very minimum drop and still be comfy.

I wouldn't hit yourself too hard in the head either way. Looks good!

Your car looks great!I just bought a set of IS wheels just like that and my car isn't lowered either. With these wheels, you don't even need a drop. What do you use to get your tires so shiny?

Sweet color! Looks good. Don't worry about not having a drop with those wheels, it's only aggressive wheels that look wrong with the car raised

I forgot to ask, where did you get those mudflaps from? I've been looking for a set, but I don't know where to get them.

Thanks everyone, I appreciate the kind words I'm actually very surprised at the attention this car gets, especially the color. I think the wheels give it a little something extra to admire. Everyone seems to really like it, and I do too

This is going to surprise you, but I use the Advance Auto store brand tire shine AND some tire shine stuff I got from the Dollar Tree. They key is letting it sit overnight. Those tires are 3 days old and still look like that.

I wish I could tell you,they were on the car when I got it.

I've already eaten my "bone stock" words! Engine and suspension mods will not happen, but wheels, HID's (both already done), and a stereo system will. That's IT....maybe
