typical 35 series on 18x8s

 

215/35/18 were perfect for xA/xB1, but xD's got slightly bigger tires stock, so 225/40/18 is recommended (that's the size they put on TRD 18s).

 

Hows what was put on someone elses build make this ones small.
it's prefference, period when it comes down to it.

 

Of course it's personal preference, especially when it comes to width, compound, wheel size, but overall diameter influences speedometer reading, cruising RPMs and some other things.

215/35/18 is 5% smaller than stock tire. 225/40/18 is 0.5% smaller.

Illustration:





For a show car it does not make any difference, of course, the tire just looks tiny for the car, but I guess some people like that look.

 

Ahh dude... I understand the math behind these things.
Much like putting TVs in cars, the endgame is not retaining stock values and settings.

Thats a cool refference guide though. where are these avail?

It's Java based, but oh well, it works great

 

 

looks good. how bought some inside shots

 

So I think you've lowered your ride just perfectly. Approximately how many inches have you lowered it?

 

I still have to get around to it.

 

I really didnt get any measurements, I was in a rush to get it done so it just slapped it together quickly.
its with the old school blue yaris trd suspension, and trd springs.

 

Well I'm getting a black xD shortly, with some 18's and I'm wondering if the TRD lowering springs will be enough to get my car as low as the one you've shown here.

 

That is whats on this

 

I'm just wondering if the Yaris suspension you put in added any noticeable lowering in conjunction with the TRD springs. Thats my main concern.

 

That I can not proof yes or no without the same set up side by side of it without just springs.

 

those r the rims i am gonna put on mine when i get it. its good to see them on the car before i put them on. way to be the guinepig (SP). looks sick man. keep it up.
