Staggered set up on a 2008 Avy - Toyota Nation Forum : Toyota Car and Truck Forums

fonzy · 02-14-2008, 01:35 AM

Guys, I recently intalled 19x9.5 rear and 19x8.5 front on my 2008 Avy XLS. I will be rolling the fender this weekend because its scrapping only a tad bit on dips. Now Im looking to see if any company out there manufactures lowering springs for this car. Please let me know if you know of any, and dont tell me that I can fit the Springs from the Camry because they dont correlate well with the car (the camry is a far lighter car than the avy which would create a big problem with stability).

I am actually getting my springs made in with Vogtland ( the owners name is Richard and he already took the measurements and weighted my car to spec. However it's going to take a while for me to get the finished product because they are developing the springs out in Germany for my car. In the mean time I wanted to see if another company has come up with them. You see, in Vogtland's website they claim that they have the springs but the 2008 springs are different here in the US from the ones in Germany.

Ill post pictures as soon as I can wash my car to obtain a better picture.

This is my first time posting pictures, I hope this works, and I apologize for the Quality of the pictures I used a camera phone. As you can see I need the lowering. Also feel free to tell me the likes and dislikes about my car.

Awesome!! Another fan of extreme fitments!

I couldn't see the pictures, though. Can you try again? Thanks.

Fonzy,
Could you tell us the offsets of those wheels and the tire sizes you went with? Also, what brand of wheels are they? Thanks.

My rears are 19x9.5 45mm offset which I had to use a 1/8 of a spacer because it was already hitting on the Strut. My fronts are 19x8.5 35mm offset with no issues at all. So you could say that I completely filled up my rear wheel wells to the max that I even need to roll the fenders a tad bit. The Brand is Jazz (Trinity) they are really inexpensive wheels. My rear tire size is 275/30R19 and my fronts are 245/35R19. The profile of the rears has to be smaller because of the width of the tire.

Looking good, what did that setup cost you and how is the ride quality?

[quote=fake_usa;2202288]Looking good, what did that setup cost you and how is the ride quality?

The Set up cost me nothing, The wheels came off my Nissan 350Z. I first got these wheels from a friend at work whom had them on his 2002 Lexus GS for only $500 bucks because he upgraded his to Volk Rays which look identical to these.

The Ride Quality is better than stock. Im used to the sporty feel in a car, so my suspension doesn't rock too much like a boat no more. Im really looking forward to lowering it to get that better handling feel. As is it already handles great on turns. I'll post pictures once my lowering springs come in.

Thanks for the good comment.
