559EVO updated pics/mods = Forgestar
So far I re tinted the windows, tinted the taillights and all four turn signals, Painted my grill, emblems, muffler tips and all lower mesh that was previously chrome on my lower front bumper and on my Lorenzer side skirts/rear bumper. I bought a carbon fiber license plate frame and some gunmetal Forgestar F14'S, sizes are 18x8.5 front and 18x9.5 rear. Tires are Michelin PS2's in the rear 265/35/18 and Bf goodrich 235/40/18 for the fronts. My rear lugbolts are too long so I am currently using a small spacer until I receive the shorter ones.Let me know what you think?

Here is two more, also for those of you that tell everyone to lower it after they install new wheels, dont even bother because I am happy with the ride quality/height, my daughter likes it too, she said not to worry about how many fingers you can fit in my fenders.
I went with 265 in the rears to play it safe due to the mixed info on here about rubbing, If I have no problems with these I will try 275 next time on stock height. I also deleted the Resonator, I wanted to remove the secondary cats but all the the 3 muffler shops said no. I went to the ghetto parts of North hollywood Mexican muffler shops thinking they will do it (Im Mexican so I can say that), all were afraid of losing there jobs and thought I could be some sort of cop testing them. I even showed them my military ID to prove them wrong, so the last shop just did the resonator. Oh well, at least my car is legal.

Looks good -- from the Lorinser rear bumper to the blacked out grill and rim tire combination--everything! Heck, those rear 18''s and 265 tires look like steam rollers With that rim and tire combination it doesn't look like it needs to be lowered at all. 19s'' might be a different story however. What does it feel like when you drive it now?

Wheels took a month and a half, ordered from modbargains.com, they always have specials during holidays, I think there anniversary sale is this month or next month. I got a black friday sale= discounted price and free shipping. I can sell the lugs once I get my shorter ones. The car feels much better than the 20 inch Lorenzers that came with it, as far as rubbing I will let you all know after the spacers are removed when the shorter lugs get here. For the pm's that want to know how I painted everything, I used Plasti dip for everything but the muffler tips. Muffler tips is a black high temp grill paint. Google plasti dip Lexus and find the thread that has over 30 pages.

I've been looking to get the same wheels from modbargains as well. Glad to see you had a good transaction. I always love blacked out badges and the tips look real nice IMO.

Got the spacers from the rear removed, car only rubs during high speed dips in the left rear side. This is a common problem with certain people shaving down the sides and some noticed that the left side sticks out more. I have the same problem and plan to fix it soon, its not that bad though. I hope it works
