No!

Too bad we can't upgrade our bodies like our cars

what offset did you need for your wheels?

bigsky2 · 10-27-2006, 07:24 PM

Konig Helium is a +40mm offset.

I believe Toyotas need higher offsets in general.

Is your car lowered? The more I look at it, the more I want those wheels!!! I ask because I'm debating lowering the car and I'm wondering how the 16s with 50's will ride versus the 17 with the 40st. I don't want the ride so hard that I'll need Preparation H...heh. What say ye?

Yes, my car is lowered using Eibach Pro-Kit springs (aka the TRD Springs that the dealer sells).

The drop is approximately 1.5" off the bat, and I think since it has settled the drop is about 1.5~1.6". Not a big difference after settling.

The rides quite well at 32psi all around. It's slightly rougher around the bumps compared to the 15" alloy wheels, but overall the ride is still very comfortable.

Thanks for that!
