33mm sounds alright for the back (Its going to be pretty "hella"flush). But definately recommend getting 25mm for the front. Ill take some pictures of mine when i get home after work.

cool sounds good, but how do you like that rear sway bar? debating on some new toys lol

Haha i expressed how i feel about them one page back

i love your car so much its just awsome!!

25 all around?
hmmmm

i was thinking of swapping out my 15's in back, putting them in front and running 25's in back
what was the offset of your 17s?

the 15s are cool for auto-x but i worry about 25's

doing this would be alot cheaper than spending 2k on another set of wheels with the right offset

I have 25's on all four corners too, with 17's. Had to get my fenders rolled, but its all good now.

def interested in seeing some pics of the wheels with those spacers, lookin to get spacers from my GTS wheels too

I love the pic you posted up of your interior. It looks so damn nice, just need that 3 post with red stitched steering wheel like I mentioned before. I'd say our cars are probably the best looking car Toyota has ever made. Our interior looks better than that of the supra and our exterior is so damn exotic I love it!!

Did you paint the needles orange or how did you get them that way? I know that the Beams SS-III have needles that are orange, but they are not that orange. Your shift knob complements the white gauges so beautifully!!!!

My needles were stock like that. Thats how the interior is for the sx-r. It should be the same orange as the SS-III and same with the orange backlit light too.

And pics of my rears



And now fronts



And some extra eye candy

notice a change in your steering and cornering handling having spacers up front?

I had to put on 15mm spacers in the rear to clear my BC coilovers, theres so much negative camber in the rear its crazy, also the arm isnt adjustable, atleast not on st205 its just a 1 piece swingarm.

anyway i was told to leave the fronts alone as it would change my steering geometry???


does it make the turning circle worse? cuz our cars already cant turn for sh*t


also to fit on the 15mm spacers they had to grind off the tips of the studs how did u get 15mm spacers on?

To be honest car feels the same front having spacers to when i didnt.

looks sexyy in the front, i love that look!

i want to do that too with my GTS wheels but im scetched out about puttin spacers in the front with a St205 swap and it being a narrow wheel.
would that put alot more stress on the bearings and axels? idw break anything due to spacers cuzz that would just be stupid (since im not going to exactly drive my 3rd gen like a old lady lol)

looks amazing mate!

Random: Hey man cool supra man!
Me: Oh yeh supra... haha thanks man =|

Ps. I wish there were aftermarket wide front fenders for our cars. No vents. Just wider out for a more aggressive look. Like they have for s14 and s15's.

Future plans? ummm de-modding it a little with all the cosmetic stuff. And hopefully start tracking it this year. Besides that its perfect the way its modified and reflects who i am and what i love about the car.

Sounds good especially the tracking part, learn in the 5SFE then when you get exp, upgrade!

My 17" were 17x8 +35. Sure they were flush... but it wasnt for me. The car wasnt no longer fun. When i was driving i was scrubbing at every large bump, and worse when i was driving faster. I could no longer corner hard when driving as body roll would throw the car one one side slicing the tyres even with full hard damper setting. Maybe i had the wrong setup but yeh i like it the way it is now with 16".

i dont understand why u had body roll with 17x8's ? I have BC gold coilovers aswell with 16 inch wheels and the ride is so stiff (even on the lowest damper settings) the only thing left to bounce is the walls of these tall ass 50 profile tyres and boy do they bounce, I run 36psi tyre pressure, they are toyo t1r 225/50zr16.

what skirts are they rico, 404?
