damn, the gap around my tires is way too big....
i need to do something about that...
should i go with a big drop like s-techs so the wheels tuck in real nice?
or should i go with something a little higher like trd, BUT put some nice thick spacers in so they come out flush with the fenders?
i've seen pics of both setups, and like em both... can't decide...
what do you all think?

These are TRD springs with no wheel spacers added. I appologize for redundancy if you have seen a ton of pics with these already. They handle nice and still keep much of the factory ride, which surprised me. I am pretty happy with them after the few months I have had them.




yeah, i guess the question is more do the tires look good framed nicely in the fenders by using a small drop and spacers, or do they look better tucked in and under the fenders with a bigger drop...
the trd's do look nice on your car though...

i have coil overs and i had 19s.. i rubbed just a lil in the front.. on the inner fender wheel.. it was cool but the car was just toooo sluggish for me

so i went back to 17s and got a +35 offset rim so they are flush

i have the tein ss-p... so yeah adjustable.. the tire hits the front inner well... and that was with a 225/35/19 i dont know if u want to run on rubber bands but you can prob do a 225/25/19 im not sure if they make that size though.. lol
18s it is then... thanks. that will actualy save me some $$ on rims down the road. now to find some good 6 point bornze wheels... and save mad $$ for the SS coils...
but back to the rails of this thread.... get coilovers.. itll improve your handeling and drop you car.

i want a set of those after seeing them on your bsp tc but im not sure about going to 7.5 width. i could keep my stock tires with 7" wide couldnt i? and the .5" wont do much mroe but take money out of my pocket for tires right?
you can put your stock tires on a wider rim.. and .5 wouldnt really make much of a difference.. youll see that your tire will be widened... but thats ok.. itll look good.. car might even handle better since it will widen out just a bit.. i saw a drastic improvement on handling.. car is on rails.. feels real nice
if anyone is wondering about black racing.. they are made by 5zigen...
