Hi guys,

just a update for my ride, new shoes.

I ended up getting the OZ crono HT in 17"

Actually i was looking for 18", but couldn't find any localy that suits my eyes like these 17".

So why bugger the 18" if i can have these sweet 17"

Width of the wheel is very important when choosing the tyre, so you better find out before you get tyres!

7.5'' may get scrubbing. search around i think someone put 7.5'' on. mines 7'' and they are fine. the 7'' also make the rim flush to the guards.

Hang on, hang on, hang on....I assume the comment about the 7" rim being flush to the guards has respect to the offset? Because we must all remember that offset plays a huge part in whether the wheels are "flush" or not. With regards to scrubbing, lowering also has a significant effect...

My research indicates that (in Australia at least) the Chrono 17s are 17x7", with a +37 offset. Tyre choice will depend on your original tyre size. Can you give us the low down on what your tyre placard says is the standard tyre size? On the Corolla Sportivo, standard diameter is 620, 205/40 is 595, 205/45 is 616, 215/40 is 605, 215/45 is 626.

What do you guys mean by "flush"??

And wheels are 7.5" width with a 38 offset.

I was leaning towards 215/40.

overall diameter is not really my headache, because mostly I modify my car for the looks.

Do you guys think it will scrub the fenders if i go with 17x7.5" ET38 wheels and 215/40 tires?

"Flush" is a reference to whether the outside of the tyres/wheels line up perfectly with the outer line of the bodywork (wheel arches). I have attached a photo of my previous setup, where if you look closely, the wheels sit just inside the arches, making them not quite flush but pretty good.

We need to know what original tyre size and what original wheel width you have to make a call on scrubbing or not. A lot of guys have turned to 215/40 R17 tyres on their Sportivo because of the lower overall diameter (605, as I mentioned before, compared to the standard 620), as they don't scrub on lowered Sportivos.

I would suggest that you are adding at least 1.5" to the wheel width, and probably at least 20mm to the tyre width. With a lowered car, that will mean some scrubbing. With a car at standard height, perhaps not. It's very much an individual application thing. Assuming your standard rims are 6" wide and a +45 offset (which they are likely to be), that means that the Crono's will give you 12mm less clearance on the inside of the guard, and the outside of the wheels will be 26mm further out.

In the end, it's your call... :toast:

Thanks for the info. really useful :)

To be honest, I don't exactly know the specs of the stock wheels.

When I bought the car their where already aftermarket rims on it.

But I assume that they were the standard 16" sportivo wheels, with 195/55/16 tires.

hey guys,

I ended up getting Sunny tires.

Locally i couldn't find any other tires of 215/40

I also am on a budget, so the Sunny will do the job for me..

Thanks guys..

I think I need to lower the car a bit more..

Now I have Apex springs on them; 35mm lowered.

What options do I have to lower the car a bit more?

Other springs or cut these Apex a lil bit??

No cutting springs... :nono:

Over here a company called Kings make a spring call "Superlow" which is a 50mm drop. Not sure about over your way. Other than that, I think the only other way to go lower is stump up the cash for coilovers.

Okay huh.gif

would be a lot of money to go with coilovers ohmy.gif

and yes, I see a lot of you guys use the superlows.

can't find them here though.

so i'll consider a while what i'll be doing.

Ive got two sets of suspension Cusco Adjustables and RS-R coilovers, with the RS-R coilovers the springs have been cut I only use them for when im taking photos of the car, and my cusco adjustables are all legit Ive had the bottom rings machined so that the springs sit even lower on the strut.

      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.

      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.
