i hope you don't have any issues....i jus read a thread on a guy who has 9" wide rims w/ no rubbing BUT he's on H & R coilovers

 

yeah it looks clean but that 9 inch tire in the rear is not gonna get him better traction to stay on the road being our cars are fwd.

 

yea....but holy **** a 9" tire looks sick lol

 

so what if i get myself a set of 18x8, or 18x7.5 with lets say a 40 or 35 offset and i had trd springs(thats what i want to do when i have money! =)) will i have any rubbing issues? if so any ideas? cause i like these rims too and i have an rs2 but i'm not sure on size and offset cause i want to lower my car also. oh and whats the widest rim someone should have without any rubbing issues?

 

Fredycakes,

I am on trd suspension and run 18 x7.5 with 38 offset. Everything is great. The only rubbing I am noticing is in the front drivers wheel well I believe it is simply the plastic fender. I need to remove the wheel and look up in there to see if I can remedy the problem.

Anyway, you should be fine with 18 x 7.5 35-40 offset.

 

Naw man no rubbing will happen Fredy!

im on TRD's with 18x8's with 35 offset, it's perfect!

awesome guys thanks alot!

 

thats odd i should be setteled...

 

i know man thats a huge difference huh

 

scion jon, where in NM are you?

So no one on SL has these Axis Gravity rims??demmit mann

 

hey scion jon are those trds? they look so low its just about as low as my ssp.. most of the trds ive seen was just about like etsd2311's drop, you have a heavy system inside? you rub a lot?

 

LivNLo94 Im near Albuquerque

Ace83, ya those are TRD's lol in the rear wheel pics you can see my white springs lol. No I don't have a soundsystem in my car at all, and I don't ever rub, I made sure I wanted TRD's and the right set of wheels so I wouldnt rub, cause rubbing sucks lol.

 

for TRD spring owners.........if u had the cash, would you have the ***** to try these 18X9 40 offset with a 245 or 255 tire?????

 

no! i would stick with 225 tire, imo thats the safest,

18x9 et4o maybe, as far away from the hub i can get is the safest for me, but keeping it a lil or lined up with the fender line is best

 

Well, it's official. I just finished installing TRD Suspension on the car, so now I'm definetly considering these wheels......I'll get pics up soon after the settle, and I'll keep you informed on the wheels!!!

 

when shoould you get an alignment done after installing the springs?
