I just put my wheels on last week. Im on S-tech springs and they are 19x8 Axis Seven Mods with a 2 inch lip in front and a 3 1/4 inch maxis lip in the rear. The tires are 215/35/19 Nitto Neogens stretched. If i went with 225/35/19 they would have rubbed the strut tower. The only rubbing issues i have are hitting dips on the highway and its not bad at all. I didnt have to roll my fenders either. Im installing drilled and slotted rotors on wed or thurs. Ill post some pics of those.

PS- Do not buy from www.wheelsnext.com. It took me 3 weeks to get my wheels and when they came only one of them was balanced and one had a chip in the edge of the lip. Everytime i called to get a tracking number they gave me a different excuse. "The tires are on backorder" or "We put the wrong size tire on and have to re-mount them". Just a heads up. I would go with Discount tire if youre going to buy wheels online. www.tires.com. Ive heard nothing but good things about them. The only reason i didnt buy from them is that they dont carry Axis wheels.

Nice Pics Mile. You stole my photospot. Should have told me you were going up there today.

wow bro beautiful tC!!! i really love it man

keep up the work

Lol. I figured u would be busy with the wife. Did you ever fix your body kit?

Nope. I am going to try after work tomorrow. See if someone will stay and help me.

Thanks man. Hey nick is that my new name, Mile?

well done...i love the deep-dish.

that looks so awesome...prolly my favorite rim out there...good job on your choice and taste...i like

Nice pics mang.. love you ride! we should all meet up and have a photo shoot! lol! Great job! :clap: :clap: :clap:

the car looks sick.. i love how it is stealthy..

i dont like the fogs tho, they stick out too much imho.

but that is a great lookin FM, and trust me, i dont say that alot :rofl:

just kidding

Man that looks really good. I was always wondering if there was going to be any problems wit s-techs and 19's but apparently not. Again, looks great keep up the good work!!

Tein S-tech and 19' x 8.5 wheels...... really?
I would of thought that setup would look too low. Kinda like NCBIGGs SSM Tc.

BTW Looks good

S-techs!? Really!? I was on the exact wheel and tire size with s techs and no way that low

BTW any rubbing with the front wheels when turning from Lt. stop to Rt. stop? Thinking about getting these style.

Mine are 19x8. I was told that they would rub in tight u-turns but it hasnt happened yet. Only on dips at high speeds and its just a slight scuffing on the plastic wheel wells.

How close is the inner rim to the struts? Have you knock off some wheel weights from tight clearances in that area?

I havent looked at the clearance between the strut and wheel but i know if i had 225s it would rub the strut. Knock off some wheel weights? My wheel weights are stick ons, not the ones that clip onto the lip of the wheel if thats what ur asking

that looks like the Hot spot in VA to take some pics! Yall all need a photoshoot of those tC's in VA! Cuz their all comming out nice!

BTW thats the 2nd bad thing ive heard from WheelsNext.com, thanks for the heads up!

wow man props on a nice tC.... where did you get the grille from..... your car is clean...

Yeah theres 3 public parking garages in that small area and they all have great views from the top. Good place for a shoot.

that looks awesome! i actually like the way those wheels look in silver on flint mica... the drop really does it! congrats!

I see. My friend had 20' chrome dubs on his highlander and had rubbing issues.
Things that they don't tell you when you buy wheels from a fleamarket. My friend is an idiot.
Thanks for the tip. Again, your car looks good with your setup.

Thanks man, I got the grills on eBay. The seller is FIGURELLC. They fit great and IMO they look better than grillcraft since they are a complete replacement of the stock grills and dont use the stock piece behind it.

do you have a link to where you got the grills?

Hey man, your Tc looks sick, I love the clean look! Sorry to hear about your expierence with wheelsnext. I had some problems with them myself so I can relate to the poor customer service. Anyways, good job on your car, looks TIGHT!

i cant wait till payday!

wow those grill are awesome! i cant wiat till i get the money. those are definately on my list... now should i get silver or black for my Flint mica?

sorry to take this off topic, but the car posted at first is lookin awesome! and i was just curious about the grills....


anyways back to the topic,

how long have you had the springs installed? and if they havent settled yet, let us know if there is any problems with rubbing after they settle... i have the hotchkis springs (completely settled) and im lookin at rims but idk if i should play it safe and get 18s or go all out and get 19s... i just dont wanna rub. keep up the good work tho.

man those are nice looking grills, def going to be buying this soon as pay day comes lol...

but nice looking flint mica bro!! join the FM cult as well :D

great looking tC man nice clean job/

maybe im color blind tonight as Im posting this but is it just me or does this car NOT look like a flint mica, lol.

other than that i love those wheels! and i love what u did with the rear of the car, keep it up :)

I would def. go with black grills on the flint mica. I have had the s-techs on there for almost a year so they are def. settled. I have even gotten an alignment since then.

i think it could do away with the big ___ stickers.

fat lip

sorry for the thread revival, but those wheels look nice. someone in my area is selling these wheels for $800. i'm debating purchasing them.

Do they come with tires? I sold my 19's with brand new nitto 555 tires for $500, but all 4 rims were scuffed up. If they are in good condition with tires then it is a good deal. I think I paid $1300 for rims and tires but this was like 3 years ago.

Also, find out if they have the maxis lip, those are better as I didn't have those.

"Comes with 2 toyo tires 235-35-19, and 2 falken tires (not shown on the picture)"

says they're in excellent condition. i don't see any scuffs.

Not maxis lip but still nice. The only scuff i can see (possibly) is on the bottom left rim, on the right side of the rim. Tell him you want close up pics and see the other tires.

dude car looks great

Thanks, Yeah u def. want the maxis lip. I have it in just the rear. Tried getting it all the way around but axis said to stay away from doing that because the spokes wont clear the front calipers

Heres a new pic while driving. I took the decals off the side. Everytime i waxed around them it scared me the fact they were going to leave an outline in the paint after a while.

mike, I have a much better one of you driving I will put up tomorrow. We need to go cruise sometime so I can work on a better motion affect.

Ok cool

bump for the nicest tc ive seen

What is the offset for those rims? They look perfect!
