ATB Posted March 28, 2015 Author Share Posted March 28, 2015 Got 1k worth of tires on the car and overall I'm happy with the way it looks but haven't got to test it properly yet. I went for the Falken Azenis FK453 235/35R19 in the front and 255/35R19 in the back. Going from 235 rears to 255 completely changed the look of the car. A tiny question though, will I encounter any issues with the rears? will it compress enough to hit the wheel arch? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luxluc Posted March 28, 2015 Share Posted March 28, 2015 That could be quite close. give it a try ; you may have to get a very slight arch work done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WayneW Posted March 28, 2015 Share Posted March 28, 2015 Have you rolled your fenders at the rear ? My car is way more lowered, suspensions is not hard, running 9,5 " et20 with 255 rear : no touch at all : Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ATB Posted March 28, 2015 Author Share Posted March 28, 2015 I will for sure give it a try Luxluc as I love how the wheels look now compared to the stretched crap that was on ^^ Thank you for those good words Wayne! That looks very similar to my setup and I got stock suspension with 24 et. I think the edge inside the arch has been rolled upwards a bit by the previous owner.

ATB Posted March 30, 2015 Author Share Posted March 30, 2015 Did a check to see the wheel gap and put it on a jack stand and jacked up the rear wheel. I lifted the wheel as much as possible and it looked alright, might have to have a tiny bit rolled as you can see in the picture. Also spent the whole afternoon properly cleaning the interior. Boot lid rubber has been changed and it made a world off difference no more rattling when going over bumps Now I gotta remove BPU mods and put stock exhaust and cat converters back on for MOT....

Luxluc Posted March 30, 2015 Share Posted March 30, 2015 That was my feeling about the arches. I would go for a very slight arch work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ATB Posted April 10, 2015 Author Share Posted April 10, 2015 Rolled the rears slightly myself with good results, but the wheel still rubbed the arch when i hit a small bump today. So should I try and roll more? I've read a bit about the rivets inside the arches where the metal plates are joined that could crack if rolled to much.

ATB Posted May 5, 2015 Author Share Posted May 5, 2015 As the car is ready for MOT with the stock exhaust system I gave the HKS a good clean-up and put it to work on something else Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ATB Posted September 16, 2015 Author Share Posted September 16, 2015 I got the stock wheels back to my place and gave them a good cleaning and polished them up. Wrapped them in Falken Azenis 453, 235/45 and 275/40. The car is much nicer to drive now! Now I am only waiting for a set of new center caps as the ones that came with the wheels are busted. These are blank without any logos as I couldn't find a set in very good condition with the Toyota logo. Here is a picture I snapped today, still waiting for centre caps Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
