Default Wheels Lowered On Tanabe NF210 Springs?

I was just wondering if anyone has pics of their SC lowered on Tanabe NF210 Springs with some 18's, 19's, or 20's. I am trying to get an idea as to how my car will look when I put 18's or 19's on it. Thanks.

Eliminated all my wheel gap. If that's all your looking for they are great. Very smooth ride, just like stock.

Highly recommended. If your expecting to be slammed look elsewhere.

Great guys, thanks for the pics. Keep them coming if anyone else has more. That's all I am trying to do anyway is just eliminate the wheel gap. I just have the Tanabe Springs on stock struts with the stock 10-spoke 16" OEM Lexus wheels right now.

So, I guess the rule of thumb here is the bigger the wheel, the less wheel gap when on these springs?

Yes. The larger the wheels, the smaller the wheel gap, and that applies to any car on any spring. Hell it even applies to stock cars

Alright cool, so would you guys recommend doing 18s or 19s? I think 20s are just way too big, not to mention tires are expensive as hell.

Lowered on 18"s.

The rears are sufficient, but the front has such a significant gap to try and fill to begin with, the Tanabes wont make it seem like a drop in the front at all.

Looks good man, I prolly go with the 18s over the 19s or 20s. Plus, tires are cheaper with a smaller size wheel anyway!

20" tires are cheaper than 19" tires, fyi. 18"s are the cheapest.

Wow I just realized in that picture how HUGE the wheel wells are in this car. Doesn't seem that big in person but that photo really makes it stand out

I would go with 19's and maybe run a 235/35/19, or something close.

I have 18's and I hate those Tanabe NF210's...worst investment ever! I've been trying to get rid of them for dirt cheap ($75) and I've been getting tons of offers, but no one seems to be willing to remove 'em to put my stock springs back on.
