I had my wheels installed on Friday. Here are some pics of my car with my new wheels and springs. I went with a light weight wheel (no lip and not staggered).

Springs: Tanabe NF210
Wheels: 19 x 8.5 +38 Advan KREUTZER SERIES Xi - 19 lbs
Tires: 245/35/19 Toyo Proxes T1R - 25 lbs
Tint: 3M CS 35(colour stable) - 35% all windows









My stock 17" wheels and tires weighed 56 pounds and my new 19" setup weighs 44 pounds.

 

Hmm looks real good, was thinking of which springs to use for my gs350 AWD also . You have no problems with the ones installed?

 

Nope, no problems at all. I installed the springs while I had my stock wheels and had no issues, and no issues at all after I installed my new wheels and tires. I did not go staggered and kept the same offset and tire size all around. This setup is considered "weak", but I did not want to hinder the ride quality or have unknown issues or surprises. I just wanted to have a lower ride, new lightweight wheels, and quiet summer only tires.

I definitely recommend the Tanabe NF210's.

 

Looks really good..

 

very clean oem look.

just need lexus wheel caps.

i don't like staggered fat lip wheels either. fat lips should only be on cars with a fat rear relative to the front.... like lambos

 

Looks good, keeping it clean and close to OEM

 

Thanks! That was my plan. I now have my stock 17's as my winter wheels and these for summer.

 

nice looking ride spider_55! where'd you get your tints done again? i think i asked in the canada sub-forum already...

p.s. no vibration issues with the awd lowered on the NF210s?

 

Thanks! No vibrations so far. It has been a couple of weeks with the drop and so far so good.

I had the tint done at 3mtrimeline.ca, but do not recommend them to install your tint. Try and buy the tint and get someone else to install it. It is a really good quality tint, but the install at 3mtrimline was not professional. I have bubbles in the rear and front side windows as well as the back, and my car was absolutely filthy when I got it back. I am in the process of trying to get the bubbles removed / tint re-installed, but so far it has been a week with no call back...

 

Looks very clean. I've always loved Advan Kruezer series wheels.

 

Nice set up Spider. Definately not "weak". Man more and more AWD's are pulling the trigger on the NF's. 12lb. difference and going plus 2 on the wheels...sounds like a great set up. Thanks for the pics. All you need is some wheel dressing

 

I like the set up. Clean look.

 

Clean. You can't go wrong with Advans. I'm surprised the car actually looks good with 19's. I wish Advan made 20" wheels, though.

 

Great lookin' set of wheels, they compliment your car nicely

 

Looks familiar:
