I have a Sizzling Crimson Mica (aka uhhh PURPLE) TC1. I saw one guy who had the same color on Gold Rota Grids and it looked sweet. Thinking of going for that look, anyone else seen that combo?

For you guys running GRIDs in 18x9.5 +38 did you have to shave or pull the fenders to make them clear than just rolling them?

Oh yeah? What's your suspension setup and at what height are you riding?

Just got my Grids installed today. I like them a lot. Pretty low but will raise the car. How did you guys solve the issue about the metal tab holding the rear fender and bumper? My tires rub on it sometimes and the rears are rolled.

There's a thread here somewhere that shows how to cut all the stuff out of the rear fender. I need to find it too.

What size tires are you running, btw?

Edit: Found it. https://www.scionlife.com/forums/sho...d.php?t=200153

Anybody running center caps in the front with 18x9.5 +34's? I would like to put center caps up front but the bolt/screw thing for the hub extends to far out.

I'm running BC coilovers and mainly rub in the front because my fender guards are loose. I only rub in the rear over big bumps, dips or when a lot of weight is put to the rear. Only thing I did was get my fenders pulled and flared. What do the front center caps look like?

running into an issue now... has anyone had issues getting tires installed on the 18x9.5 rims before? im on my 3rd set of tires with out any issues in the past with installation.. so far discount tire and belle tire will not install them because of the safety. they said because my 22540/18 does not cover all the rim so they will not install them. never had an issue before and now I cant get tires put on!. maybe its a Michigan thing.. any suggestions?

Are any of you rubbing on the front coilover body? I picked up some grids for a steal and they had 235s already installed. When I test fit, it looks like the tire is rubbing my coilover spring. I'm guessing dropping down to a 225 would help?
