Looks SO good man. Love that red. Wish I would've waited for it. What kind of coilovers are they?
Thanks!
I got the Megan Racing street series coilovers

Looks great. Reminds me of the stance i had with my 18s. The color combination is perfect.

Right on man. Even if you don't use spacers, the fitment is right on.

18x8" +32 Tacoma XRunner wheels w/ 225/40 on Tein STechs/Stock shocks. Timid setup compared to my old xB, but rides like a dream. Need a 10mm spacer for the rears though, anybody wanna trade their 10mm for my 20mm Eibach spacers?

Thanks! I couldn't find any on Craigslist, but I snagged these off ebay for $300. They fit awesome, bolt right up, the hub size of the wheel is the same as the xB's so no rings needed. Just need a spacer for the rear.

Wow. I'll check eBay. That's a steal for that price. If you happen to see anymore feel free to give me the heads up. What's the approximate weight of those if you know?

I don't know the exact wheel weights, probably between 20-25lbs I would imagine...

Wheels look good! I had seen a set of those locally for a great price, just didn't know how they would look, but I like them.

As far as getting your rear lower, from what I gather reading other posts from people that have Racelands, is that they are somewhat limited in the height adjustablility at the rear of the car. A few people that have Racelands on here and have the rear end lower than you usually are running just the spring in the rear with no locking collars...

Need help fellow scion family.... At the moment im running 18x8 OZ ultraleggera +40, on 225-45-18. I may be picking up a set of 18x9.5 +30 offset. Question what will be the best tire size to get? wanna keep it where the car will still drive and handle well. I was told to go with 265-40-18 any thoughts? Im on Tanabe NF*210's with five ad lip kit. any help would be great!

My thought would be NO. Both the rim and tire will poke about 1 1/8" further than they do now. I suspect that with the NFs you'll probably rub in the front. I would try to go with a 245/40,or if you are willing to stretch a bit more the 224/45s you have now will work on the new rims but you will be stretching a fair amount. The 265/40 keeps the wheel square with the rim but you need to measure what clearences you have now to see what it will be like. Check www.willtheyfit.com so you can see the differences.
