It's more like 20 or 25mm now I think although not sure what stock height was to compare.

The wedsports wheels in the later photos are actually my "show wheels". They are 18x9.5" +45

My track wheels are TWS T66-f in 18x9" +44 with nitto NT01 semi-slicks.

Met my fellow TRD addict @supra2nv while on vacation in USA from New Zealand.

Good times sharing our love of our 86s.

@supra2nv car with me in California

I saw in the Meaty Tire Thread you commented you had 265/35R18 at some point. What model tires were they and did they rub the rear bumper tab without having shaved it off?

Sorry, missed this question @switchlanez

I have 265/35R18 on my weds SA10R 18 x 9.5" +45 wheels. Bridgestone RE003 tyres.

The +45 offset seems to solve the rubbing issues on tab and fenders. Although they rub at the front on the chassis rail at full lock. I had steering stops put in to limit the lock slightly to avoid that. I have coilovers too, don't think the +45 offset would work with stock springs.

My favorite 86 in the world, love the color too. I bought mine second handed and wanted to have either this one or white, got a white one in the end. What Shark Finn do you have fitted?

Do you have pictures of those steering stops or know where they bolt into our cars? Existing holes?

Sorry, I know nothing about them and probably wouldn't know them if looking. The workshop suggested them and installed them. They work perfectly. Full lock feels normal but stops before rubbing.

They didn't sound special so I assume a tyre or suspension place must know about them.
