    Coilovers and 15x8 setup on...

    Well, here she is guys. Setup consist of K-Sport coilover, 15x8 Rota RB (+35) w/Falken 912 205/50/15. If you recall, I was questioning if the wheel setup would work on a ZE110/AE110. I was determined to make it work and it did. It required some pulling and rolling of the fenders (not much). The rear required minor camber adjustment but the front, to my surprise, did not though I have the capability of doing so with the K-Sport's camber adjustability. There is some minor rubbing (rear) on big dips and when I have passengers but since the fender lips are rolled, no tire damage. I'm still tweaking the setting on the suspension but overall I'm very happy with the stance and the way the car looks with the "old school" 8 spoke/banana design. IMO, I think this body design has some "boxy-ness" that it pulled of the look. Next on the list is an exhaust system. I want to keep this car as "stealth" look as possible. I still have some things on the list to finish the car off so I will update as I go along. Enjoy! :D

    I was wondering the same thing. I guess 15x8s really do fit. I wanted to try out a set that my friend has on his Corolla, but those are 15x8 with a 0 offset. LOL :D

    Thanks all! The ride is definitely firmer but tolerable. Mud guards will come off soon. It's actually on my "to-do list". :D

    is that the lowest you can go with the k-sport? other than that, i think you choose a perfect offset.

    There's plenty more room to go lower that the current ride height. As for rubbing the inner fenders, I don't see any visible signs nor hear any rubbing at full turn.

    I'm on 15x6.5 too and I rub the rain guard on hard left turns only. I guess you're lucky.

    looks great. im a fan of the 8in wide wheel with a +35 offset as well. although it looks like the 9thgen has a little bit more room. i pulled my rear fender in preparation for a 17x9 +38 rear wheel.

    Thanks all for your input and suggestions. I was able to source the hard to find Tom's pedal set made by Sparco. I will post up pics of the interior once I'm done and once I have removed the mud guards.
