I have 17 x 7's on my KE35, and we rolled my guards with a maglite torch...I have very minimal scraping on very rare occasions, and my car is crazy low....and it didn't affect my ride at all as it was already bumpy as hell, being on bumpstops and all, and with the nice wide rubber, my car sticks to the road like glue.

how does it go if you have pretty much full lateral loading going on (to the point the rear tyres are starting to slide) and hit a choppy bit of road midcorner? or don't you drive it that hard?

 

what sort of tyre pressures do you run with 17's? just curious.

on the bumpstops. hahahaha

haha mine hits the bumpstops at the rear with two people in the back and its not even lowered

lol time for new springs

 

back on topic, i want to get corona steelies widened to 6"

same backspace as stock so i get lots of dish :unsure:

stiffer shocks, and ditch the rear seat passengers.

 

jamie check out this site for wheel modifications.

ray billeau engineering around southport will do it. ray's a cranky old f@$k so he wants like $120 per wheel to do it

 

there's a lowered ke30 in lismore with silver widened 13" stockos, and from the look of that thing, it's so worth it

 

i'd do white wheels with polished hubcaps and chrome dress rims. yum

i much prefer black rims with chrome trim rims, wheel nuts, and center caps on an old jap car. ie. mazda rx3 savanna style.

I used to have widened 13 inch galant stockies...they were awesome...obviously if my car hits bumps mid corner it bounces the wheels off the ground...I am quite aware that having a car on bumpstops is not a good idea...but I really don't care, because I like it that low...it's not a race car...it's a road car....it does what it needs to do.

 

 

mmmmm

at least they beat boring watanabe's.... go takumi *yawn*

don't mind the longchamps, more of a SSR mesh boy though.

If you want pursuit/stockies on your car try looking in some speedway shops. They sell stockie looking lightweight wheels (21lb) Around 13-15 inch and start at 6 inch wide. I'm interested in some, not sure how much their worth though. I'll just live with the Jellybeans for the moment :lmao:

why do you want corona rims widened to 6" ????

you can buy 92-95 townace rims which are 14 x 6, i chucked my ones away when i fitted the mags to the van.
