Default 215/40/17 !!

How is the fit and ride quality on this combo with TRD springs(free from a friend), Enkei rims and OTG 10 mm shims in back; compared to stock.

I'm wondering if there are any rubbing issues when fully loaded or if anyone noticed a decrease in performance.

I want to go with these because they are closest to the stock diameter per http://www.1010tires.com/TireSizeCal...?action=submit (awesome site)

or 195/50/16 only .3% diff

Thanks

with trd springs there will be NO rubbing unless your enkei's have a really funky offset.

I don't see any issues with rubbing with that set up. I think you'll be fine.

Thanks for the info guys.

YELOSUB youre right. its the closest to stock diameter I could find per the website I put in my first post.

Only .13% slower on the spedometer than stock.

Is there any need to chage the shocks with the TRD springs since its only a 1 inch drop?
