New Wheels & Stance!!!

[VirginiaPS13]

So I finally got around to putting my new coilovers and wheels and tires on and thought I would share with you guys, let me know what you think.Excuse the dirtyness of the car and the rust, its getting painted in a few months.I think the front maybe needs to go a little lower, but I havent had time to adjust it.

looks good

[EvillE423]

Looks good man! What coilovers are you using and what are the specs on those wheels and tires?

[s14derrick]

Im not real sure yet, I kinda like the GunMetal color on the older Lexus is300 Ltuned cars, probally either that or white, maybe a pearl white?

Are you lacking an Exhaust?

[VirginiaPS13]

Hahaha.. yea. it was rusted, so i disposed of it.

[uber240times2]

That's pretty much awesome haha.

[Dazzla]

[sean@z1]

Looking good what happened to the rear emblem?

[VirginiaPS13]

the muffler is in the trash can, I just havent got a new one yet, Not currently driving the car so its not a huge deal right now.

I took the emblem off, thinking I was going to be painting it sooner but that didnt work out so...

Okay, Explain something to me. How are you not rubbing on the outside lip of the front fender when you turn sharp at high speeds or go over medium/large bumps?

I havent drivent the car yet. Ive had some engine issues, I got it running last night but am still having issues with my timing cover.Like I said before they havnet been adjusted, I just got them installed. Im just waiting to get it running again to start tweeking on them.

[s14derrick]

if you do a pearl check out the honda/acura pearl white. i dont remembver what its called but i love it hehe

[tEknoS13]

What was done to the fenders and q panel for fitment? camber adjust, roll, pull?

[justinedible4]

White is so yummy!

[Kalypso]

looks nice

[VirginiaPS13]

Havent touched the front fenders, the camber is set to zero according to the plates in the front. It doesnt rub moving it around the parking lot so its good for now but I will probally have to slightly roll the front fenders.The backs are rolled with a big@ss pipe I found, it looks pretty good but im gonna go back after i get it running and work on them a little more, and the camber in the back is pretty close to factory settings.

Thanks for the info So you're saying the rear is almost oem specs, I dont want to wear my tires unevenly. I plan on getting those wheels but learned they no longer have 17x9 only 17x9.5. I'm kind of scared of how the handling characteristics will change with these wheels. I'm asking because lots of people say a lot of modification has to be done to make these fit.

As far as handling I cant say, I havent got to drive it yet.Fittment really isnt a big issue, depending how low you go. The back will not fit with out fender modification unless you have a 4x4 suspension, they stick out about an inch. I used a big pipe and it worked perfect!! They fit up in the fender like a glove now. The way it sets now the front is not touching/rubbing anything, even steering lock to lock, but I know its gonna be a different story when moving so the fronts are probally gonna have to be pulled/rolled too.But IMO its worth the little bit of extra work to make them fit.

Thats kinda what I had in mind, either that or the Infinity pearl white

[Pbmattc]

Love your wheels!!!!!

[Dire91]

Crazy how I'm going for the same look on my kouki, bronze MB Battle rims and that same gunmetal color. Looks sweet though dude good job Where'd you get the rims?

[VirginiaPS13]

Got the wheels from Discount Tire

[tEknoS13]

Hey thanks again. I have 4x4 stance on my car now. Strut/spring combo so they might fit without modification until I get coilovers. Just wondering what was your total at Dicount Tire?
