If you're referring to putting wider tires on the car... Hell yea lol. A bunch of members have done it. Hell, the RS and SS come with wider tires from the factory than the LS

ive got a 2011 ls... immediately threw a thicker and wider set of bridgestones duelers on the back and never looked back... those tires set u back some cash but i drive with traction control off for better power to the wheel....i had to up the rears for that reason alone... its all on how u like to drive

I have 315's on the back and have the car lowered around an inch or so (I needed a little more traction!!).
