I like it. Is it black or a reddish color? Or is that a reflection?

looks good but it could use some spacers to improve the stance. What are you wheel specs?

Thanks guys for your feedbacks....I didn't want to run spacers because once it's aired out, I didn't have to cut or trim NOTHING....If I had run spacers, they I would have to roll the fenders and start cutting stuff....SORRY, if fit's perfect and it lays out without no modification.....Just the way I like it... =)

rubberband man.......... I would pull fenders and roll them as well to try and get as much of a lip as possible..........just my opinion.

Thanks for your opinion, I wanted a bigger lip, but that was what AME had in stock...I'm not planning on keeping these wheels very long, I'll have a new set by SEMA. Sorry and I dont want to modify the fenders.... =D

You gotta think twice about not wanting to modify the fenders, it'll only help you out by rolling them. What are your wheel/tire specs?

The car looks good, but a +45 offset is a little weak. I just went through this whole phase when i ordered my rims. I was not all about modifying my fenders. but after its all said and done, getting a nice vip stance is probably going to require some sort of fender mod (whether it be minor or major).

Overall not bad, clean car but it could be better. it has such great potential.

Agreed. At first you say it's what you wanted, then you say it's all AME had in stock. So it's obvious you were looking for better fitment..just a little apprehensive to answer how your decision was made. Don't worry about it man, we all have been there on the fitment train. Just throw some spacers on there for now till you get the wheels you really want and the mods to make them work. Rolling them is really easy. Just remember to remove those tabs underneath before you roll the fenders and just take out that felt/clothy fender liner crap. It's not too difficult, just go slow and use a heat gun on low heat or a hair drier on high heat.

And Mikey..there's no more Aristo's in Japan under that Chassis..it's all Lexus GS.

Thanks for your advice and comment....Ya I think I'm just going to wait and see what other wheels I want before I start modifying the fenders. Thanks again

hmm just not doing it for me. probably the very weak wheel fitment. +45? thats for hondas. not feeling the cannister-style exhaust as well.


stance is key. anyone can bag a car and slap rims on it. to me this car feels like your average DUB-style car w/ JDM wheels.

Hmmm... I dunno. I think if i had just bought a brand new luxury car i would have some hesitations modifying the fenders too. It permanently lowers the resale because everybody knows you only do that so you can slam the car.

Maybe i'm not vip enough yet. But thats why i give mad props to anyone who does do these mods to an expensive car! I'll stick to my slightly older luxury cars where i can do what i want without having to care about resale...
