Gen6 opinions on idea

Hey guys, I wanted to know if

1. you think i could make it look like this (it's a quick photochop but along these lines)?
2. what i would need to do?
- specs of these wheels are 18x8 Rota Formulas (steel grey)
- what kind of drop do I need
3. you think the ride quality will decrease drastically?

No, painting the car gray will not affect the ride.

Dropping the car = scraping the underside and/or bumpers. Useless.

I know it's photoshop but if you like it drop that deep...it's a little too low for me.
I like how the TRD spring look after it dropped better. The fender would just meet the tire (not below the tire like this picture) There are a lot of cars dropped with TRD springs and Eibach spring (same thing Eibach+TRD logo= TRD springs)
Let me know if you want to see some pictures of TRD dropped.

I didn't mean to drop it low... ya I'm gonna look a round for 18s w/ a TRD drop. What size tire do you think I should/could run? w/ 18x8s... I'm thinking a 245/45/18. Would that be too big? Too small? I was just wondering if you guys would think the proportions would look right. I know many of you like big wheels but I like 17's and any larger (esp on our I4) would be purely cosmetic... and I'm just not that kinda guy.

mmm nice... but please help me answer some questions w/ Tire profile!

My only gripe w/ those cars is their brake discs look too small w/ 18's, those are all 18's right?

btw I think the LE special edition looks nicer than the SE, don't hate ;] I hope some aftermarket company comes up w/ a replica...

For Camrod07, he got Axis 19" wheels and Dunlop DZ101 245-35-19
For Watchcrazy, it's TSW 20" Mondello Hyper Black. The tires are Toyo Proxes 4 225X35-20
That's why those brake looks small because the rims are big.

you think a 18x8 w/ 245/45/18 tire would be too big?

I kinda like my side wall... and would take a 17x8 w/ 245/45 but Formulas don't come in 17s

What's the offset? These rims 18x8 and tires 245/45/18 would be fine if the offset is between +38 to +45.
