Looking forward to seeing them mounted on your iQ.

 

heres the first picture

and heres the tire itself.. i used to stock tires that come with it which are 175 60 16 and stretched them to 8 inches you know that the stock tire width is 5 inches i think it looks perfect stretched to 8 inches I'm ordering the coilovers soon from the UK they are about 1200 USD with shipping can't wait for it.

 

Cool!

Like your iQ is tiptoeing or something haha awesome. The stretch goes well with the curves of the iQ.

 

Nice stretch.

Meagan Racing is producing coilovers for the iQ here in America. Not sure where you are located.

It will look much better once you have it lowered.

 

im actually in miami fl if you know any dealers down here please let me know!!!! I'm 100% positive that my car would look awesome with some camber! check out the latest shots




the owner of that ferrari parked next to me and told me nice car i was like wow nice ferrari he gave me props and took pictures this is one of them that he sent me.

 

hey i cant wait to see it lowered i wanna know how much poke your gunna have when its low to see if its hellaflush lol

 

Hey do you know the offset of your rims? because I'm looking into some 16x8 with a +26 offset. Do u think it will work?

 

Yeah mine are +25 offset, the car can handle up to +45 offset though.

 

Shame you fitted rubber that had to stretch for them to fit. Like the wheels though.

Fish

 

I REALLY like that stretched look on the 16x8's with the factory tires! Thats a great idea. I was looking at aftermarket wheels, but didnt want to have to buy tires, since they are new anyway, I think Im going to go this route, thanks!

 

I am looking at the XXR Sport Max wheels too, but a differnt model...would a +20 or 0 offset work without rubbing once i lower it on springs?

 

A 0 offset will make the wheels stick out quite a bit. You may not like that look on the iQ. A 20 offset would be better but I think you'll find a 35 looks very nice.

 

Great thanks! What would the stock tires look like on a 16x7 wheel? I like the stretched look, but will it look stretched enough? THe 16x8 he posted here really caught my eye, but the 16x7's are cheaper and more options...

 

What about a +25 offset on a 16x7 wheel? I just dont want them to stick out too much or rub once I drop it 1.5" all the way around.

 

I think you would still be OK with that set up. The 1.5 drop is not as much as you might expect. You'll still have plenty of wheel gap to allow for the tires.

 

What springs would give me a more agressive drop? It sounds like the 1.5 wont satisfy me enough...
