Looks good. What is the size of your wheels and tires and offset?

Gideon · 02-20-2009, 11:05 PM

The rims are Volks in itty bitty 14s +45 I think. (Bought them off Garm, that's what he told me.

) Tires are 195/60s.

Thanks! Garm certainly hooked me up with them.

I say do it! Nothing less should go on your car!

So now it's a lot better in the rear:

This pic in Natomas? Go lower!

Nah, it's in Roseville. Both are way over developed and undersold though!

Lower?! I need to get used to driving my car THIS low first, otherwise I'll be buying a new bumper sooner than I want to.

You gotta let me ride in it one day. Let me know if you're ever near Sac State or Rancho Cordova.

You bet! You gotta come to one of our mini meets in April that we're trying to get together.

FYI with the adjustable swaybar endlinks use locktite on the jam nuts. We had one wiggle loose and lost it :(

garm, they aren't tie rod ends they are swaybar endlinks.

Thanks for the tip! That would have sucked. D:

I'll put that on in a few days when it stops raining.

I love how your wheels look! Love the tall rubber... Hmmmmm

Are they 14x7?

Gideon · 02-25-2009, 01:39 AM

Oops forgot the width, yeah definitely not. I wish they were that wide! 5.5" actually.

anonymous user · 02-25-2009, 04:41 AM

What was the rationale for buying these? Looks, or performance?

botchilah · 02-25-2009, 04:43 AM

looks chunky, like a rally car hehehehe nice!

Nagoya_TRD. · 02-26-2009, 08:58 PM

I personally would run a less sidewall tire and go lower for the street.

If you are going to rally or track it, then that setup should do fine.

I was just looking to get rid of my heavy 17s that I had on my car at the time, and was looking to buy a set of Konig Heliums, either 15" or 16". Garm just so happened to be selling the real deal in 14" so I thought, why not?

Can't beat 6.5 pounds a wheel.

Running less sidewall would mean sacrificing performance for tire size. The Falkens I have on there only come in a 195/60 and came highly recommended.

But yeah, it's going to be tracked this summer.
