The LEXION 203's are MOUNTED!!!! Enough clearance?
No tires though lol!
What do you guys think? Tight fit? These are 19x9 with a 44 offset
They look fine now, but once I mount tires.....I donno.
Opinions please!

Yup, sits flush with the car jacked up 
Only thing i'm worried about is the front.....that little screw thingy...does that piece move with the wheel?
If they dont fit, i'll just sell them for $2,200....lose $100...whatever lol

Theres 3 3/4" clearance between the edge of the rim and the obstruction

The sidewall on my 245/35-19 is 2.75" from the highest part of the rim (the edge) to to the top of the tire so I would agree with the consensus here in that it should not hit.

Looks like that particular part of the suspension would move with the wheel so I doubt if dropping it would be a problem either. Slap some rubber on there and show us the results! Looks like it's gonna be nice!

They'll tuck in more once you get them off the jack. Problem I see is that you'll probably rub on that arm thing oce it's on the ground with tires. Get ready to order some spacers...

It will travel with the wheels, but not the exact amount the exact amount the wheel will travel. When you get it on the ground with some tires it's going to make that gap even smaller. This is how your rim is fitting right now \, not to that exteme, but there's a lot of postive camber. Once you get it down it will striagthen out and that is goign to reduce your clearance. Of course this is all speculation, there is no way to know for sure until you get it on the ground.
Don't know if you can, but put the wheels back on, put down some wood block and cloth and lower the car back down until it's about even. You'll see how much room you have left.

Those are hott JJ.
I prefer them to all the Ray's wheels I've seen. Clean, not too "sporty" looking. Fits well with the TL's clean but sporty look.
I might hit you up for a set of those when I get tired of my Netz... or you should hit me up when you change you're mind on these...
Can you post a pic of your brake clearance? Wondering of those will clear Brembo's.

They were $2,300 shipped to my door....not bad....MSRP for each wheel is $720 and the average internet price is around 650...*IF* you can find them....these wheels are extremely hard to come by....I think i've contacted 25 difference places

Haha, I'm still trying to decide what I want to do with these....lol
Theres a guy on Club Lexus running these same wheels with almost the same offset (45 instead of 44) on his 06' IS250 RWD....19x9(F), 19x10(R)
If a tiny IS250 could fit 9's in the front....ARGHHEHGIEH
If i'm wrong, then I pretty much wasted $3k....Tires are going to be like 650...mounting is going to be another $100.....lugnuts are going to be another 50
what to do...lol

I'm not saying you should drive around with it on there but rather just mount it, drop the car on the ground and see what the clearances are. Worth $35? Heck, knowing some of the guys around here I bet you at least one has an extra 245/35-19 sitting in his garage he would ship you just for the shipping costs.
if they dont fit then i'll just sell them with tires lol

JJaber06,
Did you manage to get those tires yet?? Can't wait to check out those rims on your ride.

I am planning on selling them...just because I can't risk the whole "They might not fit" thing....If I order tires (Falken 452) for $700, mount and balance them for another $90, and buy lugs for another $35....and have them not fit....lol....
I'm still trying to decide though, I may order tires later today....
