Tanabe DF210 and TDR 18" wheels

[kapo]

Will work fine? I want a 2" drop... I usually drive alone, but sometimes we are in total 3 in the car. Is going to rub the fender?

Thanks!

[brickhardmeat]

You'll rub I'm sure.

Dfs wont lower the car 2"

[CASTREX]

Yes they will.

You should go with the TRD springs or NF's

[brickhardmeat]

DF will settle at a little more than 2" from what I have heard. TRD or NF agreed. 18 inch wheels look silly on this car to me anyway but whatever. I think 17 looks much better if you insist on oversized wheels. :wink:

We did some measurements and 215 will rub with a 2" drop in the rear wheel wells during cornering. We chose 17"... the other problems with 18's are WEIGHT, added tire grip your stock suspension WILL NOT be able to deal with and no compliance on the street meaning your car will break traction from the stiff side-walls lack of flex. Anyhow, you save about 1.5-2lbs on the same wheel going from an 18x7.5 to a 17x7... not to mention a little tire weight, but the wheel is the bigger weight factor.

Also, Ground Control is about a month away from having their Coil-Over conversion kit done with will give you ADJUSTABLE RIDE HEIGHT for $499 on stock or your choice of aftermarket shock.

We went with Megan coil-overs... they're enroute, full video/review coming soon!

I'm ready to see those Megan coilovers on a Yaris!

welcome to the world of a 225/30/20 :headbang:

Corners awesome until I hit a bump while turning, has lead to some scary moments.
