not at all. i had falkens 245/35/20 in front, but when i changed to nitto i had a rubbing issue for a couple hours. went back to tire shop swapped out for a smaller size 225 insted of 245/35/20 took care of the problem. nitto runs more squarish than falken. tires and offset are two big factors in wheels rubbing, if you have the right set up you won't rub.

Well compared to stock, they're stiffer but not harsh. You can feel more of the road, but it still has the Lexus smooth ride. I have no problem with the Tanabe's.

fbapacible, that is one sweet looking ride. Not too low...thats the way I like it. How much did you pay for your springs? Are they on OEM shocks? How much of a gap is there? I was looking at going with 18" wheels but I think the gap might be too great. Would appreciate your comments.
