xTigRex had 18x7.5's his car was lowered about that much and had rubbing, the tyres eventually ate through the plastic splash guards. So although harder to find, 18x7 is a more suitable size.

18 x 7.5, dropped 50mm. Tyres 215/35/18. No scrubbing :)

I had 225's like Gazoom one time but they scrubbed :( Not much though.

I'm thinking 19's next :D

215/35 would be the go for me then. the rims dont come in 18x7 which sucks i spose. would be happy with little to no scrubbing.

thanks guys

i asked about the 215/35 on 18x7.5 rims and was told that it would not meet the load rating so they recomended 225/40? if this is so i will just have to go for 17x7s

225/40/18 will put your speedo accuracy out by a lot. http://www.kouki.co.uk/Utilities/tyresizer.asp Try that to calculate it.

And yeah... load rating is a big hassle with choosing the right tyre size. Or should I say choosing the right tyre size is a hassle with the load rating required. What is the load rating for your Corolla? 215/35/18 highest load rating is 84.

I had a 90mm drop with 18x7.5, they scrubbed on the front inner plastic guards on bumps and on the rear inner gaurds around corners. 18x7 (with the same tyres and same ride height) gets no scrubing at all.

18x7.5 with king springs. Never scrubbed - not even once. Even when I was moving and had the back loaded with heaps of crap. The rims were tucking but no rubbing. Offset and tyre size need to be your friend. Get it wrong and scrub time!

18x7.5 should be fine with a super low drop (depends on tyres though), but if you actually want a good drop, i dont reccomend them.

18x7.5 here running 225/35/18 on a 35-40mm drop.

I get rubbing in full lock but its only on the inner plastic guards, not the wheel arch of the actual quarter panel itself.

On a drop like that I think 215/35 is your best bet, but as previously stated you have to find a 215/35 that meets the equivalent or better load rating.

Falken, Toyo and Nankang seem to have a wide variety of sizes so maybe check in with suppliers of those brands. (Ie: Tempe/Ozzy).

hey guys I'm a noob whose just become a proud owner of an 03 Stivo :yahoo:

I'm also looking to put some 18x7.5 on mine too (cant find many in 7in wide that i like), +40 offset, running 215/40/18s for the moment

Have you got your wheels on yet $angelo$?

Mines not lowered yet nor are the guards rolled but I was wondering what sort of offsets you're all running???

Cheers, L.

i ended up getting 17x7 Gmax Energy, wanted 18s but didnt happen.

was told the 215/40 has a larger rolling diameter so will put your speedo out by a bit.

i rekon the 215 looks too skinny for a 7.5 rim anyways, 225 would be better but will rub a bit when you lower it.

i remember my first rim was 225/45 R17, regretted, same told by those salesperson who said tat rubbing and outset shxt, i recon they just lie to get their sales done. so, after 3 weeks, i trade in, dont care wat they bullshxt, bought 235/40 R18, then i got satisfied and hving them on is proud. but on corrolla, 17 should be fine, BUT MUST BE lowered. GOod luck

the rims arrived mon night so i'll soon find out on saturday when i head over to try them on....

cheers. L.

      Turboed Corolla Overbuilt?

      that engine will be fine, the rods are the main thing to be concerned about. The 2860 is a decent turbo for the 1zz but in this day and age I'd go for a G25-550. The injectors might be on the small side, we run DW1000's. You need a full length injector, the shorter injectors with adaptors like ID1050x dont fit the 1zz head. You don't need an aftermarket intake manifold, if you do go down that path, avoid the CNC innovations unit, it's garbage. Do the boost control with a MAC valve and control it with the aftermarket ECU of your choice, I use Link stuff on most of my builds with the G4x Storm as the minimum. I also wire a fuel pressure sensor and oil pressure sensor to the ECU in my installs. Use a decent intercooler, the better cores (ARE, PWR, Garrett, Vibrant, Plazmaman, Hypertune) work a lot better than the chinese stuff like Aeroflow. a 450x250-300 fits fairly well with custom end tanks to route the cooler pipes through next to the radiator Don't forget about the clutch and gearbox. These days I like the Uniclutch twinplate, Above 300whp you'll want to think about upgrading the 3rd and 4th gears in the box also with the SSC (Hollinger) gear set and install an LSD of your choice. If you're going to give it a hard time, you'll also want an oil cooler. I like the HKS thermostat type sandwich plates and setrab or mocal oil coolers with -10 speedflow fittings/lines (Chinese AN fittings neck down to a lot smaller internal diameter in their bends, not great for flow) You'll also want to think about brakes, Celica or Sportivo front calipers will bolt on with sportivo discs as a starting point. To have somewhere like Tunehouse do the work you'll want to budget somewhere between 20-40K

      Camry Touring 2010 Fuel consumption 15.2L/100km. Normal?

      I did the mathematics myself regarding costs vs benefits for fuel injector cleaner. I have changed from 91ULP to 95PULP and 98PULP. Price difference can be about 13 -20 cents. Compared to 91ULP, Premium quality fuel should have a better quality additive package designed to have superior engine cleaning capabilities so the engine can perform at their best.

      "Fuel injector cleaner is a waste of money" Only if you by the cheap crap if you use LiquMolly a German Product it does work and you won't waste your Money.

      Disconnecting winch, lightbar and UHF

      Generally, yes. In the 60s, and earlier, there were cars with positive grounds, so I'm always a bit hesitant to say the negative wire. It is always the one that bolts to the body. Herb

      2011 Land Cruiser 1VD-FTV Engine Won't Start After Overhaul

      Hi everyone, I have a 2011 Land Cruiser VDJ200 with a 1VD-FTV engine. I recently had the engine fully overhauled due to a blown head gasket. However, after the overhaul, the engine is not starting. It only cranks but doesn't fire. I've checked the following DTC codes: Internal memory EEPROM error Low rail pressure The actual rail pressure data shows: 240 bar during cranking 61 bar when ignition is off Based on these findings, I suspect the following potential causes: =Defective Diesel High-Pressure Pump =Leaking Piezoelectric Injectors =Diesel Fuel Bypassing to the DPF Circuit =Faulty Injector Drivers I'm hoping for some expert advice to help diagnose and resolve this problem I'm seeking expert advice on how to troubleshoot and resolve this issue. Any suggestions or guidance would be greatly appreciated.
