Here's a couple of more pics of the booty.
I had lowered the back approximately 5mm, could go more but I'll leave it for now. Its been approximately a week now since I had put all the suspension, brakes and wheels/tires on. The Nitto Invo's drive really nice, quiet and have great traction. No problems with the Rotora brakes either. Their use will be more appropiate for the track as Pcasso87 was mentioning. I just like the larger rotors and calipers to fill up the wheel space, especially with 19". Finally had a chance to install the Beatsonic Shark fin. So simple and quick install and definitely cleans up the look of the car. ![]() ![]() ![]()

19s are too big. I could like this if they were 18s and the car was dropped more...

I think it looks good but personally I wouldn't have gone with a tire size that would stretch that much on the rear.
I'm not sure if you mentioned it already but did you have to roll the fenders?

No rolling required.
I'd agree with most people, the stretch is a bit much for the rear but running a 10 inch wide rear with a 37 offset it definitely helps it clear. I could of been more conservative and run a narrower wheel or a wider tire. I'll try that later with another set of wheels. |

I don't think the 19's are too big. For tracking yeah, but I IMO, take a half off the front, an inch off the back, and this may be my favorite looking FR-S... The brakes seriously set this car off with the wheels. That first picture looks super exotic... 5 years ago take the badge off and I wouldn't have believed it was a yota

That's one of the things I'm currently researching with my Soup. I don't want to roll the fenders (any mod that can't be undone) yet want a nice/aggressive wheel n tire combo. If that means not going with 18x11 in the rear, I'm ok with that.
