    A Camry perhaps? 18" is on the big side for a Corolla (especially without a body kit).

    I wanna see how this turns out

    I think the regular tC TRD rims are black 5 spokes.

    My old rims were 17in, without passengers it was decent, tho I still had to watch dips in the road. It also has to do with the width of the rim. Mine were 7inches, that's 1.5inches wider then the factory wheels so the tires would hit my strut braces fairly easily in the rear. I didnt want to put spacers either cuz of the stress. Id imagine 18in would be pretty bad.

    Is it just me, or are your rear lips bolted on differently?

    thats cool, yea the fronts were never a prob unless i tried making a sharp turn but mabey with aftermarket suspension the back would have been fine as well. Overall it sat to high for me too and lowering at that size and the speeds i drive would have created even more problems..
    Added: Jul 22, 2012 5:54 PM
    i noticed that too, maybe so the exhaust doesn't touch?

    But it's a custom exhaust, so it should have been routed around the bumper, not the other way around.

    Possibly... although I assumed that the point of the picture (with the car up on a lift) showing the exhaust implied that he just had it installed.

    I'd do 17s only with coilovers. 18s coilovers, lots of fender work and lots of camber would be a jaw dropper though.

    yeah actually i noticed that the same day. I put the valences on the way they best fit flush with the car so i guess one ended up being a little higher than the other one. eh i never even noticed it so i dont really care that much. nevertheless i did have the exhaust put on before the valences so that may have contributed as to why was bolted higher up.
    Added: Jul 22, 2012 9:53 PM
    uh like 2.8 in the front and 4.3 in the back. and eh, new tires every six months.

    Yeah, I never noticed the difference before, so it must just be that angle. Looks good!
