New wheels

Thanks to Frank W!!

Having some rubbing issues in the back. Do you guys think I need to role the fenders? or move down to 255/30. I had some very minor issues with my other 19's with toyos. Maybe it's the brand tire.

How are the Tein Basics? I am deciding which coilovers to purchase pretty soon. I am leaning towards either the Tein Type Basic or H&R coilovers.

I had the same problem with my tires on my 19's, they were rubbing everytime i would hit a small bump on the road, i had Kumho Ecsta SPT's, as soon as i changed them and got Toyo T1R's the rubbing was completly gone. I suggest you go back to your Toyo's.

Very Clean car, rims work really good!

Very nice. HRE's make a big difference. Now in my opinion since you've swapped out for those rims I'd go back to the OEM 05+ grill. It'll look clean. Keep up the good work.

That color combination is sick. Roll the rear fenders and you should be fine.

I will see what Darwin can do. I guess the cheaper way would be to role the fender.

Darwin can definitely roll the fenders and make them fit rub free. See if he will drop the rear a bit more while he's at it!

->

I've had two passengers in the back, plus luggage in the hatch. I was tucked all the way to the top of the rim and absolutely no rubbing.
