| Okay, seeing this car, you have killed the 5 lug swap I was attempting. I need to know you rim and tire set up. They are exactly the look I am wanting. I am guessing Basset rims 15x9-ish... |

the front tire is a LITTLE bigger than the rear.. they are like 205s or something..
BUT
I am actually thinking to do a 14 in the front and 15 in the rear.. add a bit of rake ya know. |

Not to change the subject but #1 The celica with the flares and larger wheels looks really good! Watanabe's would be awesome but they are pretty expensive along with the smaller bumpers JDM type in chrome or fiberglass same color as car would finish her off nicely.
#2 The model the one you refer to as the Bish in an earlier post who is she? is a model in your area? She is beautiful. can you post up more photos of her. when the site crashed most were lost. thanks! |

question for all here...
how do you keep deep wheel offsets like this from eating wheel bearing sets for lunch? I had some deep dish (ugh) Cragar wheels on, way back in the day. Ate wheel bearing sets like every 10k miles. I finally gave up and went back to stock offset. Is there a solution, or do you just keep putting in new bearings, or was I unique in having this issue? |
