TCpete

17x7.5 45 offset, flush, around 18lbs, = happyness!

and i cant wait to mount them. just deciding on either Tbasics or stechs.

TCpete

lol.. apparently we are some of the few who have good taste in rims lol..

HKSpeed

they wont sit flush. Duma's Weds are wider and lower offset. His sits pretty darn flush.

nice wheels. i konw they'll look hot on your whip.

who says im keeping the tc suspension. I found a newer tougher suspension that bolts up from an older toyota car. pics will be up soon on that nice project.(lower center of gravity fix for our cars) weee

well theres not alot of older model toyos that use a LCA pitch and long arm design. most of the replacing came in the rear subframe to "push it a little higher" lol and also some minor fab work on the new arms. im able to use now a bigger brake up front and rear and help push the center of gravity back up from lowering the ride so much. some bracing was added for support and a custom brace for the rear subframe area were the LCAs connect to had to be made. im not new to this kind of mods since ive been working with cars all my life. it just dawned on me one day. because of the arms now im pushed out about 4-5mm which will really help give e an almost flush look. should be nice when im done. this car will be a DD/autoX. so im aiming for a full performance ride. and not just the basics. oh and camber should be -/+ 2/3 degrees. nothing major but also nothing i cant also adjust with a nice pillow ball mounted system

Crippie

Sweet man.... luck with that. Post pix!

DuMa

where the pix

TCpete

next week should have some pics for you guys. im on vacation now. weeee.

Soooooo, you did all this suspension work to make your high offset rims fit your car?! Does that make sense? you could have bought low offset rims and done a 1/4 of the work. That makes no sense to me at all.

looking good so far. yeeii

brian

niceee, i really like those weds. post up pix when they're on!

TCpete

lol dude. read the entire thread carefully. the suspension work was done to help raise the tc's center of gravity. our cars cant be lowered to much because the center of gravity goes below the line of the floor when going low. i did the work to help compensate for that huge low line to help give the car a more even roll and raise its center of gravity. if we go to low we loose alot of performance and control of the car. please refer to some threads that raamaudio has made on this subject which he has gone more in depth with and in detail. the added push was just a bonus not the principal. been in the game for 10+ years homie i think im a little more smarter then that.
