Lowering my Is300 opinions
Right some of you may know I got some new wheels for my car and straight away the obvious was noticed the car needs to be lowered as I'm currently getting altitude sickness when driving haha, the wheels are 18x8.5 and 19x9.5 et35 and I currently have 225/40 and 255/35 tyres which I'm going to keep as I prefer a bit of meat when tyres are concerned, the arches are getting pulled and flared soon so they shouldn't be an issue too much
So basically has anybody got any ideas on how much to lower it I've heard of people with the same offsets lowering it 50mm with just a roll not knowing there tyre sizes but after seeing 30mm I now thinking maybe 40mm has anybody for any pics of there cars lowered on 18's like 30,35,40mm so I can see the arch gaps as I don't want too much of a gap as I still want the VIP look
Here's how it looks at the moment
some pics in my garage section mate
I'd say to go for 40mm at least. TBH though I think you should switch to coilovers straight away as that rear wheel/tyre combo is going to give you serious rub (possibly even with a roll & pull) if you can't control the damper settings.
I had 18x9.5 ET35's with 225 tyres stretched on the rear of my Lex and I still got rubbing with a roll, slight pull and super stiff coilies.
Good point and I'm glad someone else has done that offset spose I should start saving up hopefully ill be able to find some second hand maybe, as money is very tight at the moment
Oh and btw your Lexus looks gorgeous there
