If you have a look at my thread you will see both sets of 17's I have used, first ones OZ 10 spokes and now I am running black ultralites, car is lowered 35mm. Can't post pics at the moment

@Uber Luke, how much is your car lowered? it looks as though it's on coilovers, tte 30mm springs wouldn't take it so low would they? unless the boot was loaded up when you took those shots?

i agrre with you but he is running a big sidewall and the shots in the drive the car is facing downhill so the back would sit down a little lower

looks lovely by the way

These are wolfrace tokyo city 17's, fit on my old corolla and moved them over to the tsport since the toyo proxes are great tyres and had to keep them.

My baby, on 17x7 alloys, lowered, but don't know how much, just dropped it into the tyres :P

Grtz

Well the alloys and tyres really filled out the arches well.

The way my drive slopes does help in the pictures and the sidewalls are pretty big but Its because the width of the tyres is 225, Just wanted the max width i could get.

There was nothing in the boot, no seats or spare wheel - my car is stripped to the bone in the back for most of the year

Thanks for the comments

When i was on coilovers

Why did you get rid of those buddy clubs broseff?!? Love that 1st pic and always have :)

Rota Torques on coilovers........ PS UberLuke copied me :P

[pimp1chez]

quick one to all of you that have lowered and have low profile rubber on , what is the ride like ? im on the standard rim but on apex springs (40mm) and thats pretty stiff ,but compliant all the same .

do you need a spine made of granite with your rims

Coilovers are definately harder than just springs ofcourse ;)

I'm running on 195/40 tyres, with my KW coilover set on the hardest setting, kinda stiff yes :)

But traction increases like hell.

But that's the price for wanting a nice looking car :P

[pimp1chez]

Loool coilovers are 800 plus that's like a third of the price of the car lol

I'm out ,I need to make a thread I'm nearly done with my mods

[farhanali89]

Tim! when my insurance drops i will buy one again as a toy and go for the buddy clubs slammed and just race specd!!!

i miss lift

but torque and turbos just make a bit more sense

[S c o t t y]

nice cars people!! , 17's are deffo what im after now :)

[abyss113]

nah 17s are for wimps go 18 like Me :D

but this was mine with my 17s

[andycam06]

this is mine lowered on 18's but ild advise 17's if you havent had big wheels before

[BRIDGES]

The car will sit higher on 18" if you haven't got coilovers so up to you if you want slammage I'd say 17" but looks 18" are awesome

I have two sets ;)
