I was debating on getting some wheels, but decided to cut back since I'm in the process of many projects. I just wanted to see if there are any members on here with factory alloys and wheel spacers on there. It would be nice if you were dropped too. Thanks.

O yeah, what spacers are we supposed to use with out factory alloys? Its 15x7 with a 38 or 40 offset? So 13mm or 15mm spacers? I just wanted to see how well it looks thats all.

see I'm lowered on stock alloys, but still wondering how well it looks with spacers. I'll check his profile.
He has the same sucked in look I have. No spacers there. -------------------- 98 Celica gt red- totaled deer

What I've heard - not tried so take it with a grain of salt:
-Anything bigger than a 10mm spacer requires lengthened lugs or spacer that have their own lugs 20* off from the stock lugs [can't remember what they are called]. -25mm is the maximum you can get away with Again - just what I've read - haven't actually done it. --------------------  ENGINE: '93 RC 3S-GTE/WRC CT-20b [18-20PSI] PERF: TRD/HKS/ARP/NGK/MSD/ACT/Blitz/STRI/APEX'i/TwosRus/GReddy/Magnaflo/KOYO SUSP: Tein/Bilstein/SusTech/ INT: SS-III SEATS/Toyota Hyper Sports EXT: WRC/TRD/404 QUOTE (lagos @ Aug 25, 2010 - 10:13 AM)  Its a safety feature so that people like you don't end up killing themselves or everyone around them.

this was my plan with my ST a while back. I think stock wheels, a good drop, and 15mm spacers would look bad a$$.

Thats what I thought too. Well of course you would need the alloys refurbished, but it will look sick. As long as you get spacers from H and R they come with longer lugs.

As long as you get spacers from H and R they come with longer lugs. That's the ones I was talking about. get those - they look better than just adding longer lugs [which would be more prone to break if the material/hardness wasn't upgraded] -------------------- ENGINE: '93 RC 3S-GTE/WRC CT-20b [18-20PSI] PERF: TRD/HKS/ARP/NGK/MSD/ACT/Blitz/STRI/APEX'i/TwosRus/GReddy/Magnaflo/KOYO SUSP: Tein/Bilstein/SusTech/ INT: SS-III SEATS/Toyota Hyper Sports EXT: WRC/TRD/404 QUOTE (lagos @ Aug 25, 2010 - 10:13 AM) Its a safety feature so that people like you don't end up killing themselves or everyone around them.
