Default Help with aggressive wheel stance

Hey, I am kinda new to posting on scionlife i mostly just look thou to find ideas. One thing that I really just noticed and want to have is an agressive wheel stance for my car. I wanted to boost it but after looking into it i dont have the 10+ grand to throw into the car....yet. I have enough to slam the car and work around with new rims. Any points on how to get the best stance would be great any specs or anything. I am about to order Raceland Coilovers for it with all new sway bars and all that jazz. I found 2011 XXR 527 rims that would be great not sure if i should run with a +30mm offset or a +20mm offset. I have 225/40/18s that I can stretch on them yes they are meaty tires but they have less then 1000miles on them. Any input on spacers/different rims(kinda same price range) and the camber spec i should go for to get that mean as_ stance look. Keep in mind this will be my daily driver so i can slam it all the way to the ground. Please give me some pointers thanks Right now the car is only lowered on S-Tech lowering springs and no stance look at all

1. Screw swaybars "and all that jazz."
2. Screw Riceland and their products, get something that'll last, like BC or B&G. If you act theres a deal going on on facebook for some BC's for $800 BNIB, a steal.
3. As far as wheel fitment, search. Stance isn't a defined term. Make it your own. Learn.

^Agreed. If he orders the BC coilovers make sure to request the "super low" is it(?) option with the shorter springs and shock cartridges.

Did you really look through like you said? Because we have this thread.... https://www.scionlife.com/forums/sho...d.php?t=138292

I am just about to place my order for the BC coilovers. I didnt see a option with shorter springs and shock cartridges. I was looking at the wheels i want to do i did the wheel offset Calculator. http://www.1010tires.com/WheelOffsetCalculator.asp. That is for the wheel with a +20mm offset does that mean i need to get a 5mm spacer so it wont rub anything? I dont think i should have to roll my front fender cause i am thinking about buying the 10mm Carbon Fiber fenders for my car. Just let me know what you think. For the Calculator just put the new wheel as 8.75 with a +20mm offset

Dont go CHEAP on Suspension. Do not get Racelands or XXR wheels.

Get the B&G Coilovers, TEIN SSP, D2 brands.

Get some decent wheel brands: Enkei, TENZO, KONIG , TSW.

I am about to order the BC coilover and I have 18in enkei on it right now but in my opinion the xxr look better and would fit great on the car
