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 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).

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.

      Wobble at the front

      Vibration under acceleration is quite commonly due to a failing CV axle. I had it happen on my old Aurion where coasting would be fine and under acceleration/load it would start to vibrate quite violently.

      Brake issues

      Had the rear rotors machined. So far have travelled under 10k kms and the problem has come back, albeit not as bad. Will have a chat with the guy who machined the rotors and DBA also. Maybe need to replace with genuine Toyota items.

      Best Oil for 2014 Lancruiser GXL 200 series TT V8 Diesel

      Hi Ross, we have a 2013 Landcruiser. Played with various oils and concluded that 5W30 Synthetic is the best option. Nulon seems to be on special often, GW is also good. Castrol Magnatec not really suitable for a diesel. Penrite is also good but try and stick to a full synthetic. No real need to change oil at 5000 Kms unless you worked the engine towing. I found that the oil level dropped when using the gearbox to slow down like you do in a manual. Other then that no oil use at 140k kms. Best oil is AMSOIL, but unduly expensive. Controversial but I swear by it is a 'catch can'. If you don't have one, get one but the right one for the car. Initially I was skeptical about its purpose but am sorry I did not get one from the beginning (new). If you check the design of the engine, the cam chain run just below the PCV valve. IMHO this promotes oils being flung into the PCV valve and hence the inlet tract. A catch can will catch that oil - no pun intended.

      rear wheel arch hole covers (3rd row seats removed)

      I ordered the Booxe Gap Caps from South Africa. Way better quality than the ones from Nautica. A little more expensive but looks way better installed. FYI one 3rd row seat weighs 15.4kg's that's a weight saving of nearly 31kgs with both removed.

      2013 Kluger grande Bluetooth music issues

      I have a 2011 Grande and it is not possible to play music via the bluetooth without using the aux connection. I bought this product which makes it a wireless bluetooth experience. https://www.amazon.com.au/dp/B0BG2GMH8S?ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_fed_asin_title This device connects to your phone via bluetooth and connects to the car via the aux connection. For me, once the car starts it all connects up, I say Hey Google, play music and the car plays music without having to connect my phone to any cables.

      2010 MANUAL Prado with high speed acceleration hickup

      I have a 2010 manual Prado with 196,000 km that has excellent service history Injectors were done at 130,000 km and today I replaced the fuel filters as a first step for this issue. The car pretty well drives perfectly and I have no issues with it Other than if I'm sitting at 110 km an hour and put my foot down it hesitates for a second like a cough. It only does it at this speed. If I'm sitting on 100 and accelerate it doesn't do it and same with any other speeds like 60 or 80 put my foot down it's fine, only does it at 110. Any ideas or help would be appreciated. Thank you

      Best Oil for 2014 Lancruiser GXL 200 series TT V8 Diesel

      My 2008 Sahara has 630,000 km on original engine and injectors. I run Gulf Western Top Dog 10w 40 semi synthetic oil, spec is CJ4 low Ash . Last EGR inspection at 400,000km revealed no soot. Engine still has same oil pressure as new and great fuel economy....Top Dog oil is for heavy duty truck diesel engines, not cheap but neither is a new engine..20K plus.

      2013 Kluger grande Bluetooth music issues

      Hey, can anyone help? We have a 2013 Kluger grande, Bluetooth iPhone and calls work well through factory radio. To play music we have an aux cord plugged in. Anyone know how to just Bluetooth music from phone through factory stereo? It’s weird we can Bluetooth calls but not music. Thanks for your time and help.
