Remember the old days when responses were something like;

"Nice ride. Now...
- drop it!
- slam it!
- take care of that wheel gap!
- get rid of the 4x4 look!"

Changing times indeed. Just like the old quest for 18+ inch wheels.

Pretty sure I seen a lifted scion frs tonight. It definitely had larger tires on it. Also, my buddy showed me a video on YouTube of a mk4 jetta that the owner lifted and added 215/75/15 tires. Same size I'm going for.

I actually blame that one fast and Furious movie where they ruggedized the Charger, WRX, etc...

I know it's still hanging, but can't wait to see side shots when she hits the ground. So cool!

Only reason it's on jacks was so I could take the tires off to make room to work.

It's basically driveable but needs the exhaust realigned to jive with the new engine height and an alignment. Haven't extended the sway bar links yet either. Also need to get the new, bigger tires and make sure they fit. I may still have to make room in the rear. But technically you could bomb around a field with it as is, although I bet it would be loud!

Priced out some bfg ko2's today. May order them tomorrow. But KAL tire says probably 2-3 weeks to get here. Coming from B.C. they said.

Im taking this time to rewire some of my accessories. As things were added, it got messy. I'm hoping to have the car ready for the exhaust shop and alignment by halloween

The 27.7" tall BFG K02's still aren't in

[Leegamer]

fantastic

[06YarisRS]

YES! It looks AWESOME!!!

[myfirstyota]

Dropped the rims off this evening to kal tire. Should be ready by tomorrow

[06YarisRS]

What are the dimensions on the K02's? I get that they are 27.7" tall, but are the tires spec'd in the typical xxx/xxRxx size? I'm pumped to see this beast with the A/T tires on it.

EDIT: Ignore my question. I just read a bit farther up in the thread. 215/75R15. Maaaaan, that is going to look insane.

Here is a comparison between what I currently have on my turbo Yaris and what you'll have:



Isn't the rim only 5" wide? Or maybe you got wider rims. I will have to go back and read your entire thread.

The rims that they are going on are VW corrado g60 steelies. I believe they're a 15x6 or 6.5. I'll have to verify when I pick them up tomorrow
