Agressive or not - right in this thread or not - I'm not sure.

There was actually a white lexus IS with Pink TE reps in Super Street a couple months back yet the "experts" at super street didn't know they were reps and listed them as Volk TE's.

IMO spacers do not count as offset but what do I know Your wheels are 20x8.5 and they would need to be 20x9.

XXR 006
18x9.5 up front w/ 275/35ZR18 Nitto Invos +30 offset
19x10.5 in back w/ 325/30ZR19 Nitto Invos +35 offset

wish they were a 25 or 20 series for the rear tires(had to put spring spacers on the stock springs oh well. ) also the rears barely mis the coilovers, scrubs the wheel well liner and sometimes the fender a lil on bumps.

the front tire sticks out past the fender top about a 1/4" and the back sticks out a good 1/2". im gonna get 300/20ZR19 next time

Def get a 4 wheel alignment and then roll your fenders. If not you could be asking for trouble and mess up the fenders.

fenders already rolled, my buddy works at tire kingdom and he's the one that does all the work on my car, so my alignment issue(if there was one) is already fixed. i take the car to him once every 2 months and he looks at everything. hes owned about 8 different rotaries so no worries there.

If it were me, I would need coilovers, skinnier tires, and an alignment/camber to finish it all off... will look great then!

not to deter from the point of this thread ... but it amazes me how just a few tiny bits of chrome can ruin a car's look....

It could be because you are parked on grass but the front looks like it has positive camber. If you do not know your alignment specs then go back. The way it looks now if you bottom out the fenders are going to suffer.
