yes. dont know if you recall me asking about optimum tire size - the tires that came in the set were originally 40 series but I upgraded to the 35s. good thing I listened cause that extra 5mils would have torn all the screws from the inner fender.

-that pic is hilarious-

has anyone seen the smart car on a 4x4 monster truck chassis?

From what Ive seen 18's would be the best look on the yaris and 16-17's if you want to have nice rims and rubber cheaply.


edit: heres a link for the monster smart....

the 40 series isn't signify the height of the sidewall in mm, it signifys the percentage of the width which is the height of the sidewall.

meaning the sidewall height on a 225/40 20 is 40% of 225 and the sidewall height on a 225/35 is 35% of 225.

the difference between the 40 series and 35 series is 11.25mm instead of 5mm

sorry, my bad. I meant on either side as approx. 5 either side of center... make sense? regardless It would have been a bad situation.

as a side note, Im thinking about lowering it - can / does an aftermarket spring such as zenn, tein or others lower the ride but keep spring rate so stiff theres little to no compression? I want to go tein coilover but dont want to dish out that much cash right now.
