I hear ya, it's just I'm iffy about spacers that crack overtime. I was going to get 15mm Project kics wide thread spacers with the hub-rings from Heel-toe, but they cost a lot. So for now I rather have the Type s tail lights & trunk lip spoiler instead. The spacers can always come after .

Thanks!

Thanks man . I'm actually getting 15mm spacers to drop the offsets to +27 all around. Hopefully I can still be slammed without having to roll my fenders .

Damn that looks great

What are your wheel/tire specs? I think you'll rub in the rear with a +27 if you don't roll your fenders. Then again it looks like you're running a lot of rear camber.

Yeah, I was actually going to get myself the same wheels also but I decided to keep the 18's instead.

Thank man . Wheels are 18X8 +42 & tires are: 215/40R/18.
Spent a lot of money on the type s tail-lights already. So the spacers will have to wait.

yea they have them in 19x8.5 +30 front and 19x10+38 rear. That would look perfect on a TL. I will consider getting them if I can get a used set from somewhere but I doubt it I'll find it

You can get spacers and roll the fenders... or you can wait till you need new tires and get spacers along with a more narrow tire to stretch them just a little for a more aggressive stance.

Right on man . I'm just going to hold off on the spacers until I need new tires. This time I'll go with 205/40/18 instead of 215/40/18.

The wheels I have on right now are just temporary until I save up enough to get the wheels I really want. They will be: 19x8.5 +30 up front & 19X10 +38 in the rear. Wheels + tires will probably cost me around 2 grand.

The Lexus is sex on wheels . And yes, the mod bug as bitten us many many times lol.

You know it . I will be picking up 15mm spacers to bring my offsets to +27 all around. Along with raising the car up a bit & get some open-end wheel locks.

Yeah, I knew these wouldn't look as aggressive on my TL vs on my old car.

15mm to bring my offsets to: +27. So it'll be 18x8 +27.

Right on , maybe when I pick up new tires next Spring in: 205 instead of 215 like what I have now. I might put 20mm in the rear.
