Wheels to go with TRD lowering springs/suspension
I'm looking to drop the car about 3cm, and the goal is to get a perfect flush look on 18" wheels. I'm not looking for anything extreme, and I don't want any problems with rubbing.
So what wheels would fit with these shocks/springs? If nothing works well, then I can do coilovers but I'm trying to keep everything TRD. The only reason I want more grip is I am planning on boosting it and I thought the TRD wheels wouldn't provide enough grip. Am I wrong about that? As for wheel recommendations, I'm in Japan so anything by Rays would be best for price/availability. I have no real idea about how to choose appropriate fitment though Thanks in advance |

Here's a great example of staggered flush fitment. With Rays wheels. http://www.ft86club.com/forums/showthread.php?t=43402 |

I live in Japan, so the language barrier is difficult. I couldn't begin to discuss the details of camber with a shop guy. So the TRD stuff is attractive. Kinda plug n play. But damn does his car look great. Keep it simple: If I stole his wheels, would they fit on the TRD suspension? |

And yes, those wheels will fit with springs and struts. When he first installed them he was on Swift springs; he installed the coilovers later. |

The TRD suspension costs about 2k$ US, or 200000JPY. they are maybe 400$ more than the HKS springs. For sure, I can get better deals. For me, priority is time on the road, and not in the shop dealing with language barrier. Also, sometimes the wife drives the car and I don't want it to be so aggressive that she cant get groceries in it lol. TRD also helps with resale value (I've got a 5 year plan on getting a Lotus), so there is that too. If I can achieve his fitment with the TRD stuff + wheels, it is great for me. |
No matter what you do to the suspension, it'll need an alignment. So it's going to be in the shop no matter what. If you're interested in doing wheels with the same dimensions, offset, and tire sizes, you may want to talk to Shiumai to see if he had to do anything in particular to fit them.
