    Just an update for anyone buying new

    from jdm performance in NSW, also on ebay

    they offer 8kg fronts and still only 4.5kg rears

    I will keep looking for higher spring rates for the rear

    hope this is helpful

    -juan

    -UPDATE-

    they do the upgraded spring rates at no extra charge

    another update

    JDMPERFORMANCE aka just jap imports... lol

    im running 245 on the 10" rear . slight slight stretch not extreme enough for it to be a daily.

    also depends how low you go as well . are you planning on going lower than the springs you've got at the moment ?

    I'll be on coilovers but I think I will stay the same height, currently 20x8.5 et +38mm 245/30 tyres all around and havent had any problems

    Its like 110mm between ground and lowest point of the car at the front and 130mm at the back

    pretty much the aim is to fit the wheels

    without getting pulled over and defected by tucking them in with some camber and

    a good setup so it can be driven daily no dramas ie too much scrubbing

    thx for the insights :)

    dam the rear tyres are abit high go 245 width as well

    hi

    thx for the input :)

    I was thinking that too cos 245mm = 9.645 inches, close enough to 10" if you round off haha

    as mentioned it will be a daily till i can find another car for work

    I don't want to be scrubbing or at least keep it as little as possible

    okay after finding a very informative thread on another Toyota site

    I have decided

    Fronts 20x8.5 et +38mm w/ 245/30 tyres

    Rears 20x10 et +25mm w/ 255/30 tyres

    (ET +25mm for room to camber so wheels don't hit struts,

    255/30 tyres as it will be a daily drive until I find another daily drive vehicle for work)

    with the rears I will need to

    1. roll the guards,

    2. -ve camber so the wheels fit into the guards,

    3. coil-overs to stiffen up the ride and provide more room than spring/shocks

    only 1 more month to go :)

    thanks for viewing

    EDIT

    Playing it safe so to get wider wheels at the back will be moving down to 19", same wheels

    FRONTS 19x8.5 +35mm 245/35

    REARS 19x9.5 +40mm 245/35

    Roll Rear Guards

    Small amount of Camber

    Coil overs later

    Nice rims :D

    Is it the hell flush look? will look good with more drop and camber. Deff's keep the dish on the rear.

    Thanks, Yep :)

    I'll try fit them under the guards, will do a test fitment when I save a little more

    anyways waiting on a on/off switch before i install these babies

    also need some help with fitting

    later on around July-ish i will be changing wheels to

    Avant garde m550

    FRONTS 20x8.5 offset +38mm w/ 245/30/20 tyres, pretty much the same as current front wheels

    here is the dilemma

    REARS

    20x10 offset +25 or +38 w/ 255/30/20 tyres

    I am currently on pedders springs, stock shocks

    now to make these fit with either offsets I would have to change suspension, im thinking of coilovers, get my rear guards rolled and some -ve camber

    yay or nay?

    also which offset would be best?

    I could go 20x8.5 rears too but i would like somewhat more of a concave appearance at the rear

    any advise appreciated

    just a little update

    after hearing the amount of scrubbing i got on hard bumps...................

    earlier today i went to pedders suspension (in joondalup) to get a wheel alignment and lift rear end up due to scrapping

    Outcome: the awesome technicians actually got my rear wheels to fit (removal of spacers) within the guards and just mm's from coilovers......................plus managed to drop the front end more

    NO MORE SCRUBBING + NO FENDER WORK + DEEP CONCAVE 10" REARS = :clap::toast:

    remember 20" x 10" with 40+ offest :spiteful:..... "thankyou alonso"

    Thank you Alonso :)

    Oh yes I almost forgot....I often see a black aurion ZR6 in QV1 car park and my work mate mistook that car for mine when I parked my car next to it. He said the shape of my car and the ZR6 were so similar but only I have cloth seats while ZR6 is leather plus I have 17" alloy rims while ZR6 is 18" aftermarket rims.

    My question is does ZR6 logo comes in different colours? That's what got my attention. On that car it has Silver Z, Blue R and Red 6 or Blue Z Silver R but still red 6. I will have another close look on monday.

    Debadged mine completely, lucky I kept the badges and found them :) the ZR6 for the 2008 sportivo is silver 'Z' & 'R' and Red '6', totally different from the new ones lol or are they? not sure...

    The silver aurion you guys spotted is my friend.

    Should we get a TOCAUWA meet going?

    Seems like alot of you are from curtin uni as well.

    :)

    His car has given me inspiration to get black rims now haha getting them changed over in July when more $$$ available

    I like the coilies, and it sits nicely too

    I went to murdoch uni, gf goes curtin but im pretty much there when she is lol
