I ditched the old TRD Revos and I recently got these rims put on 2 days ago.....Their 18x8.5 Manaray Vertec VR5 Evos http://www.marukanet.co.jp/ offset was +45 (I know I went a lil overboard but managed to fit them flushed cleanly with 6mm spacers in the rear and longer studs from a Lexus dealer located in the U.K.

The tires are Bridgstone Potenza SO3 Pole Positions 225/40/18 up front and 235/40/18 in the rear (I bought them from an IS300 owner which explains the bigger tires in the rear). Oh yeah and no rubbing either.......Take a peek and tell me what you all think?

I want to take them and have the spokes powdercoated a very fine light silver like the new G35 rims. Yeh or Ney?

Very perty, but why not put the bigger tires in front? If the rims are the same size & offset it would make a lot more sense.

BTW, that drop looks PERFECT :thumbup: what combo is it?

Good choice in product. Finally I'm glad to see that people aren't getting shitty products on their cars. Good Job no less.

First off thank you. I was thinking about that when installing it after reading another thread about this issue but I want to go 235's all around. So I decided to put the 225's up front to wear them down quicker because they will be the first things to go and then I can replace them with 235's. If I had put the 235s up front I'd be stuck with the same case senario w/two different sizes.

BTW, that drop looks PERFECT :thumbup: what combo is it?

VIS coilover sleeves (horrible ride quality but replacing with the awaiting D2 coilover groupbuy) and tokicos all around.

Those VIS coilovers are not worthy to be on that car. Or any, for that matter.

But what about Billy? :lol:
