I am putting on my H-Techs soon I think depending on the pics you guys send me. But I need to know if after the H-Techs are on, if I buy some 18s will I get any rubbing? Does anyone have pics of H-Techs with 18s?
Thanks Scion Buddies

 

No rubbing whatsoever!!!

give me a min to upload the pic

 

the front vinyl is photoshopped but everything else is fo real

 

i'm running on 18's with htechs right now and have 0 problems, but ive only had them on for 1 week and there still settling but they look great like a one finger gap in the front i'll have to buy a nice camera to take pics otherwise i have a ____ty cellphone that could snap a few :/

 

18 x what? with offset of + what?

i'm on 18x8 +45 and h-techs' with a 225/40R18 tire and don't rub at all.

 

mine are 18x7.5 ET35 with 225/40/18

 

I Htechs and have 18x8 with 40 offset and not a rub ever........very little gap from tire to fender......

 

Thanks guys those are great reference shots. I love the way it sits on the H-Techs. I will be putting on those springs and getting some 18s for sure. Thanks again Scion buddies

 

this was taken with my cell so in a week or so i'll take some good pics soon

 

what the freak?

no one ever rubs? I rub very slightly in the front if theres a dip.


h techs have a very small gap in the front, I dont know how you can never rub, the springs have to compress eventually

I can only hear the front tires rub, if I drive with the windows open, if the windows are closed I dont ever hear them rub.

 

I have htechs with 18x8's

and the only time i "rub" is on dips when im goin a lil fast,

thats the only time


and its nothing severe its just a really quick scratchy kinda sound, nothing to worry about

 

thats what I get too, also if I pull out of the driveway a bit too fast will cause it too.

 

btw, Ive been on h techs for a few months, and just noticed a couple of wheels ago theyve seemed to settle even lower than after the first month.

at times walking up to the car, they look almost tucked.

Maybe I should just stick with 17s then?

 

no way 18's on htechs are amazing! i love mine

 

go with 18's

I just meant sometimes at certain angles it looks almost tucked, there is still a gap, albiet a small one

I took some update snapshots today




and some fun photos

 

not trying to threadjack but, I have 18's with trds and i am wanting to go to htechs. Will the differance be worth it to change springs. And will htechs improve my handling better then the trds? I know that if you go to low it starts to go in the other direction handling wise.

 

BTW ur car is one of my favorite tc's on scionlife. so clean

 

If your worried about rubbing, most of those guys said they were using 45 size tires, just go with a 40 or 35 and they you wont have to worry about rubbing at all.

 

+40 or +45 offset wont rub
