Okay would be a lot of money to go with coilovers 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.

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??

Finally guys..!! the rims are on the car! Finished it in the night. It was also a perfect weather to take some shots at home. Enjoy! first i took of the callipers to repaint them Wheels sitting nice in line and here are a couple of tonight pics

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.. a quick pic here: I also decided to paint the callipers again. here's the result: All pics were taken with phone, so not the best quality :P

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.

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. Adrian 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?

Got you. Okay.. if the wheel is 7" i should get .....? and if the wheel is 7.5" i should get ....?

it's 7" (i think). I have to check to be sure

Thanks All, What tire size should i get? 205/45, 205/40 or 215/45 or 215/40?

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"

Thanks for the comment. I know ride comfort will be something to concern about, but i don't think that's gonna be holding me back choosing 18" over 17". If it either is this 18" or another model, but i definitely want to put 18's. It's not my daily ride, so i think that i can handle it. Any recommendation on a model that will suit my car?

hmm.. looks like it's not a good choice after all huh? I guess i'll be searching again for some other kind of wheels. and yes, i would really love to put in 18's.
