[quote="dieselstation"]dang. 1 hour drive for me. maybe i can find a shop my valley or in northridge/glendale area.

 

congrats bro! dude i told you it would fit! haha; now its time for a photoshooot! =P

 

after i fix my dent. hehe.

 

Beautiful choice on rims.

I made some negative comments on the stretched tire look on Scion Life a while back, but I was wrong. It's a good look.

Makes me wish I went larger on rims!

 

looking good man!!

 

wow, talk about dangerous, I hope you don't hit a big pothole in Socal, you'll either A: pop the tire bead from dangerously stretching a 225mm tire onto a 215mm wheel, or from the looks of it, your rear METAL WHEEL LIP could possibly hit your METAL FENDER

do a test and see how it works out, jack the car up on jack stands, put the jack underneath a tire, and force the tire up until full suspension compression, and see if anything hits. You could even put the jack underneath the suspension arm if you don't want to put it under the tire. Spin the wheel to see if anything hits or rubs at full suspension compression. If it does, it will hit or rub forever, it will either take a bigger bump, more weight, or both, to make it contact.

If nothing hits anywhere, congrats on fitting such wide wheels with that offset under there, but I would've done the exact opposite. Run nothing less than a 45-50mm offset in an 17x8.5" wheel to fit 245 series tires on there, and it would fit safely, and properly, and outperform your setup like night and day.

BTW, how much camber are you running in the rear to try and gain more clearance? 2 degrees? I feel bad for your tire wear. And just because something fits, doesn't mean it works.
isn't that like the guys who go out and buy and mount an unpainted bodykit on a primer'd car? Or wheels on said car, before paint?

 

hmmm ok noob question. what does it mean by rolling your fenders

 

what did you get done at super autobacs?
how was vision's fender rolling job?

 

some more pictures in daytime. first one is my old set for comparison



new rims.








as you can see from the pictures.. it clears the fenders pretty well. Even the rim itself isn't going to hit the fenders if i hit a big bump. I'm pretty much happy. I didn't adjust the camber at all. It's just the standard TRD springs and whatever camber those springs do.

on the inside of your fenders, there's a metal "lip" that sticks out 90 degrees to your body. Rolling it means bending that lip up as much as you can so that you can use that extra space for clearance

Got tires from Autobacs, and Visions job was great. They make sure not to chip the paint when rolling your fenders
