Need your opinion guys.. + I don't know where this question belongs to.. So here goes..

As you guys know, I was running on 20s with offset +45 8.5 front and 9.5 rear...

What would happen if I install a 20s that were initially built for mercy, which I guess the offset is +35, 9 for the front and 10 for the rear...

Would it even fit?

EDIT; after reading up more on fitment this morning, i think it would fit. the 10inch in the back might hit the strut with that offset however. Offset might need to be lower for a 10 to work. That being said, im having an educated guess here. I could be wrong! Test fit?

A month? That seems like a long time. Wasn't it just the side skirts that got damaged?

What company are you with?

Yea.. Can't wait till I get that Intake in the bay...

It's funny how they call themselves an Insurance company, but missed out one of the major area that were damaged.

After a week, they said they were GOING TO order the nuts. I was like, duh...been like more than a week..? I asked about the damage from the bricks holding the side-skirts.. And they were like, Really? We hadn't look into that.. :huh:

It took 3 working days for repair-order to be issued to panel beater to fix em. and it took 1 week to repair the side-skirts...

The day I picked my car, the guy told me, Oh we replace the side-skirts. Fix it? No we didn't fix it. We got this from Genuine toyota.. :huh: :s

All that frustration went away after seeing her in good condition, stock wheels. :(

Yea, they paid me since they couldn't get it but not in full. since I got em overseas, and seeing the AUD is strong against any currency, they replaced me with these days' rates. and didn't cover the shipping too. :(

Continued from my incident happened half-year back, car's been rolling on standard wheels. Been ages since I update my page, so this one should be really good.. Half a year's worth of mods, hope everything goes well. Hopefully.. <_<

Have a guess on what this is.. Too easy I bet.. :P

What I'm not happy about when I received my rims, they probably got my offset wrong, therefore not enough dish. Might have to send it back to the supplier for them to fix this error. Certainly not happy. On the bright side, I get a preview on how my rims gonna look like. :D

Hopefully not too long before I can put up some pics..

cant believe you got your set before mine :(

Looks like you're gettin the RIGHT one before mine. :(

Was very lookin forward to this, but yea, gonna have to wait a bit longer. They said it's the manufacturer's fault, but it's partly their fault too for not checkin it before they send it over. :(

Doubt it man. The situation in japan is pretty nuts. import and export has been screwed up. And a hellaflush meet is being organised for about a month time too. bad timing i guess. I just hope japan gets all that stuff sorted! Pretty low blow from mother nature

Thanks. :P

Dpends what you after really. I'd sacrifice a bit of comfort for the looks. Max I've seen is 10 rear and 8.5 - 9 front. Even with that, you have to play up the offsets.

9 and 8 should do. And yea, I'm tryin to run the dish offset. :)

      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.

      Disconnecting winch, lightbar and UHF

      Disconnecting batteries, ALWAYS disconnect the ground wire first. Doing this will also disconnect power, in general. Herb

      Disconnecting winch, lightbar and UHF

      Hey guys, I’m wanting to disconnect my current winch, lightbar and UHF as I have new plans. I’ve installed a winch previously on another car so I get it’s a case of following the cables and disconnecting from the battery, etc but but safety wise, should I start by disconnecting the battery so the cables aren’t live orrrr? And if so how do it go this haha?

      Snapping wheel and axle studs

      Put a set of standard wheels on it and your problem will disappear. It is critical that the hole in the wheel centre is a snug fit on the axle boss (without wheel nuts fitted). If your wheels are sloppy on the axle boss this allows excess force on your wheel studs and they will break, as yours are doing. If you are unsure of what to do, go to a reputable tyre shop and get assistance.

      2zz idle / roughness when accelerating past 3k

      Hey everyone was hoping someone might be able to point me in the right direction with this issue I've been facing for a while now. My Celica's idle will drop down to almost 200rpm when stationery after hitting operating temperature. Pretty much feels like it's about to stall out but never actually does. When taking off from a set of lights it almost feels like it hesitates or is down on power and then all of a sudden it lurches forward and gets a boost in power again. Then again around 1,500-3,000rpm it feels down on power and in what I can only describe in the engine feeling scratchy. Past 3,000 rpm it gets a little boost in power again but still definitely feels down on power compared to what it used to be and still has that roughness. Note lift is also not working at the moment but I have changed the lift bolts, planning on cleaning the VVT and VVTL-i OCV's New engine mounts have been installed I changed the MAF sensor about 4 years ago albeit not OEM. After doing some research my main ideas now would be a New MAF this time OEM, TPS, IACV or Coil Packs (Changed plugs 50,000km ago) Any other suggestions would be greatly appreciated!!! :)
