I was wondering if someone running this set up could link or post up some pix of their ride. I've been through all the pic threads....but still need more help deciding what it'll look like and whether I'll have any problems with rubbing.

Ideally this will be my setup:

TRD Springs
Wheels - 15x6, +39mm offset
Tires - 205/55

I don't want to run a 195/55 or a 205/50 and the wheels and springs are already ordered....so I can't change that.

Thanks in advance. :thumbsup:

You should be fine with that setup. I have 205/50R15 (a bit less than OEM diameter) +38 6.5" lowered. No rubbing at all. 205/55 is closer to OEM diameter, so you should still be OK. As far as looks/stance, they'll look great. You may want to consider 10mm rear wheel spacer for pure flush goodness (maybe 13mm on a 6" wheel? not sure). :thumbsup:

I don't know if you have done this on line (http://www.rimsntires.com/rt_specs.jsp)

But helps a lot to visualize what you are trying to accomplish.

not really pictures but looks like you are going to be OK. and like tk-421 says a 10mm spacer wouldn't hurt.

As soon as you have your car lowered just take a close look between tires and wheel wells.

15x6 +38mm with 205/50 and dropped 35mm.

I don't remember whats the drop on the TRDs but it should be close to what i have.

Never had any rubbing issue. The only thing is, 205 is a lot larger than a 6 inch wheel so they look pinched.

Well...I went ahead and pulled the trigger on a set of ContiExtremeContacts in a 205/55 size.

Hope it all comes together as planned. :redface:

Wheels and tires are on. Pix will follow soon, I promise.

Final specs: 15x6, +39mm o/s, 205/55 tire.

I'm sitting on TRD springs and thus far have no rubbing issues. We'll see though.
