Drop and Roll: Lowered MKIIIs + Aftermarket Wheel Showroom
- Thread starter rodel
- Start date
here's the final verdict on my set up now that the fenders have been rolled, ride heights are correct and the wheel alignment has been done...
F: 18x9 +15 (245/40)
R: 18x10 +22 (275/35)
verdict is (IMO anyway) that it looks aggressive, however the rear needs to be lifted a few mm to stop it rubbing over bumps and the front needs a 235 as the 245 is too much tyre for the offset (and I can't run much more than 1.5 deg neg camber due to a possible iffy crossmember).

fitment is nice but your your right about the tire size 235, in the front would be better might just be me but the rear could use a 265 the offsets and full size tires are a hard bite to swallow. but that's just, MO
yeah i know what you're saying. i wanted to run a 265 on the rear but they dont have that size available in the tyres im after 
^ Nice car, cool wheels, w/ maybe just a little too much stretch for my taste. However, is that a Regulus Type-2, or a Do-Luck spoiler by any chance? More better photo's of your whole car please!
Are you on Oahu? My MkIV buddy "SidewaysSupra" lives their now.

I dont think he really has much choice with the stretch, the offsets are crazy!! Surely you're going to mod your guards?

thanks, yeah.. the stretch is pretty harsh can't daily drive with 215 front and 225 rear. Honestly i have no idea what spoiler it is i bought it with the car looks like a 87 style but has a led bar. I'll try get more pics when work allows me to haha, yes i am on oahu im not sure who he is :/ sorry.

nah i'm not gonna mod them.. if the rub, they rub eh? lol.
lol, dont be too confident, my offsets are much less agressive than that and i molested one of my front guards last week when i hit a driveway. I took the same approach "rubbing doest hurt", but the flimsy A70 fenders can take much
faark that is a heap of stretch! looks tough as nails dude. what size tyres are you running there? i think i read 215/40 on the front.
