my tires are coming out of the fenders... and the only time it rubs is when i got a person in the car or i go over bumps... would rolling the fenders help since the tires poke outside the fenders?

In my opinion, as long as they're not bright blue or anything, you should be fine. Lexus uses bright white license plate lights from factory, so I don't think cops should pay "that" much attention to it.

Ralph, what kind of wheels are you looking to get?

Well I've been looking into getting Tenzo Type M or Tenzo Tenspec 19's, flat black. I'm leaning more towards the Type M. But I guess I will have to wait til it picks up here at my job

Im thinking red led's in the front underneath the fogs..My friend has bright blue, he got pulled over..well..I was driving..and I got pulled over in his car..and the cop just gave me a warning. I just don't know if red would be "legal" in a cops mind..
