That I couldn't say sorry. I didn't measure the drop. If you car is stock, measure from fender to top of tire. I am just about even with the tire if not a tiny bit lower. It needs to get raised, but it looks prefect for me.

The 8.25 width is basically the standard option from XXR with a couple others in the 17 diameter but maybe not the right bolt pattern. I've ready mostly positives about that set, I wish I would have gone with them. BEWARE: the added width will increase grip so if that's what you're going for great..just make sure you get a tire with a very firm sidewall and you may want to stay away from Uber sticky compound. Otherwise you'll find lots of sway added into the chassis and if you cheap out on tires like I did, it's nearly uncontrollable at all speeds at even the slightest of turning. I'll pm you some poke pics if I still have them. The fronts are basically fully flush, the rears suck just a little. Also if you can find them I would look for satin finish or gloss, the matte looks very dirty and ricey very quickly. And do you mean TRD springs? That's what's on in the quoted pic, it's supposedly about a 1" drop, this was right after install also. I would recommend them. If you're running the TRD springs lots if people here fit 18x9+ XXRs if I remember correctly with no issue what so ever even lowered. Good luck! |

Hmm that's a tough one, haven't looked into all seasons at all so I can't really recommend anything. I don't think PSS is what you want to cover those rare snow days though, it's a dedicated summer tire and doesn't compromise anything for winter traction.

You can get all that from nlmotoring. Buy the wheels, hubcentric rings, and you need spline (tuner) lug nuts and make sure you get the 12x1.25 size. As mentioned above stock lug nuts will not fit aftermarket wheels.

For lugs I went with the McGard 65554BK splinedrive set. Awesome quality with a locking lug for each wheel.
