I didn't like the way the back tyres looked and toyed with the idea of having fatter tyres at back, I am still not sure of this look but its growing on me

the tyres at back are 285/35/19 Goodyear eagle F1 runflats and the fronts are 225/35/19 Pirelli p zeros

Nice but the rear tires are way big..on a 19x10 you can get away with 235 35 or 245 35 to be on the less stretched side.
Hows the app radio working out for you I'm thinking of getting it for my LS400..

very clean car! never seen these with sidemarkers before. love the wheels.

what bulb size are on the corner lens next to the fog light? in the US they are 194, i was told in right-hand-drive countries they are a dual filament bulb instead.

i like the look of the rear tire for that fitment. if you don't need the clearance why run a stretched tire? if anything i'd say it could use a wider front tire. or tighter fitment... either way.

thanx mate, had to get the car thru MOT to pass it so had these lying around but definitely going to go 235 soon as i get my rear spacers.

the appradio is not bad although I mine being the 1st model its kind of frustrating as no bluetooth streaming and now that ive upgraded to an iphone 5s this has become nothing but a shiny mirror of sorts , have connected my ipod to it but only thing im able to do is play music from it ha

but the appradio 3 is supposed to be excellent depending on what region you are in as in the uk we dont get it with the dvd player :(

thanx, want to go lower so these wide tyres will have to go as im still not sure of the looks, finding aftermarket parts is expensive here in the uk lol
