got the XXR 527 17 x8.25 +25 offsets in gold , 195/40/17 S drive yokohama tires .

haven't done the front camber yet, but suprisingly it doesn't rub !

wheel is 19.8 lb according to the manufacture ....I guess I saved up a little coming from the boat anchor trd 18's :w00t:

Those look amazing man. Great improvement over the Trds. The stance is right on.

I'm selling the same wheel in 15x8.25 +0

thanks man .

the front wheels look like this \---\ , need to do a corner alignment as well as add on camber bolt up front.

I have people looking at my car all day yesterday ..im not sure if it's from the wheels or the supercharger noise ..lol :wub:

thanks guys . I looked and waited for those wheels for at least a couple of months....it's worth the wait ..lol

the S drive is pretty good for the price and it's really quiet.

Got an alignment today ... Put the camber bolts in ... -2.8 camber up front .

Look a whole lot better and I feel a little better on the handling.

Will post the specs once I get home :)

Red and gold look good together. :smile:

STAY AWAY from curbs!:eyebulge:
The edges of my rims would also touch before the tire got scuffed.

How does stretching a tire like that affect tire life?

vten

@PJ : or sell them to me :D .... what did you do with your OEM front bumper ?


@flipper : I can't really tell , since it's only been a couple of days of using.

that is why I like the way my car sits, I'll rip the sides off before I curb a wheel. This pic gives the right idea, even the front wheels are inside the fenders.

Not feeling the amount of stretch, but otherwise, the rims look good on the car!

^thank you sir !

I want some more drop but the coils are max out already , thinking to get another brand of coils that can drop more, but afraid the ride will be extra bouncy.

Take the adjusters out - extra .5" lower! :)

Looks great man.

That is what I did ^ My rears are all the way slammed with the locking collars removed and just the spring sitting on the perch base where the collar screw onto. I want to know if I can even remove that little silver base and let the spring just sit on the control arm, cuz I still need moar low in the rear.

Red over Gold looks fantastic!
And while the TRD's are heavier, I'm happy to have that strength when I pound over those 4" frost heaves on our hiways. OUCH!!! To be honest, I can't believe I haven't lost a tire or destroyed a wheel over some of our provinces finest speed-bumps.

Yup those Trd are pretty strong ... I used them for almost 3 yrs and still have no bends n cracks :) but I had a change of heart and love the multispokes wheels more :)

I have another sets of multispokes wheels (17" OZ superleggeras) for my winter set , but still need to refinish .
