Seriously Austin, community college. Now.


The problem with everyone in this thread is that slammed is not a word or even a picture of how low the car is. It's a fkn state of mind.

Idk if i ever said it before but i'll say it again for noobs,

DONT ever max out your F&F coils (this is Type 1s) cuz

its really undriveable, even tho i still was able to drive mine.

You're gonna be literally dragging your frame on the ground

This is my car quoted above from couple of pages back^^.

So I have a question.... I just ordered some new wheels... they are 19x9.5 +15 and I planned on running a 225/35/19 on it, do you guys feel like I'm in the clear with oem front natural camber? I know some of you guys are alot lower then I am.... The wheels are actually +22 (same as my 3.3.2's but I need a 7mm spacer to clear brembo) What do you guys think!?!?

+15 (with spacer) on a 9.5" wheel is pretty ballsy, I think you are going to need more than just natural camber to pull that kind of offset off. Even with the stretch you are running it's going to be very close.

Russian, you look pretty low to me. I agree with Chipski...gonna be a tight fit.
I'm sure you're rolled and front tab shaved down? If so, the tire will likely take care of the pull for you.

Yeah, The tab is gone! lol I'll have to post pics soon! My fenders are rolled as well. I'm thinking of just throwing a 225/35 on there to be extra safe and just make space for it.. lol Everyone online whos slammed says go natural camber, skunk2 offers less camber then oem? tf? Just figured maybe one of you guys is running a +15 and could throw some advice my way lol

The skunk2 thing is actually true, sadly. BUT if you do the hella flush mod to them, you'll be all set. A couple guys have done it already with great results. All you do is flip the ball joint and then shave off some of the UCA where the ball joint slides and you can gain a ton of negative camber.

I think depending on how low you are you'll be able to clear it,

your tire specs seems like you're already on track.

My wheels for example cleared fine with the original 225/40 i had

before i decided to get a front camber kit to get rid of some camber.

I believe the camber specs back then were between -1.9 to -2.6 natural

Russian, did you already sell your other 9.5 +22's ? Could have put a 7mm spacer on them to see what work would be needed.

I would just do the hella flush mod on the skunk2's. don't think natural camber will be enough for this one

The problem is that just like being low is a sickness, going wide is too. Try a little lower, bam, can't go back, must end up scraping my jpipe everywhere. Get a 10" wide wheel to fit, gotta go 10.5 or 11 next time. At some point you cross the practicality for the sake of bragging rights or having the widest wheel on a TL.

It's a sickness, really...a costly one, at that.

I ran 18x9 +10 upfront with a mild roll no pull and that's pretty close to the max you can fit without pulling or adding negative camber. Your 9.5 + 15 is only 1mm more aggressive than that face side so yes you'll be in the same position. But any passengers or bumps mid turn you will rub.

I did thehellaflush mod on my skunk 2's and Gained a lot of clearance. Before I had them my 9 +10 wheels upfront were pretty much rubbing at anything but going straight and now after the mod I have almost the same amount of clearance as I did without a spacer. So the mod allowed me to get 10-15mm of extra clearance.

This I'd like to see. The set-up I had in mind was 18x9.5+30 along with a 15mm spacer, to poke the wheels a little and give more clearance to the brembos all at once. 18x9.5+12 for the rears, 225/40/18 all around.

Not sure if this fits, my drop is pretty mild. Someday i'll look deeper into it.

If you go for it, definitely share results.

You are a genius. Why I didn't think about this I don't know. I tried the 7mm spacers with the +22 and it barely cleared, so I turned my coil a few turns. This is not the setup I will have but the rim is the same size, diff offset. Guess itll still work at this ride height, but I think I'll eventually need a camber kit and customize it to make it more negative/low.
Here is what it looks like with a 19x9.5+15 offset.

Picture was taken right after coil install, so waiting for springs to settle to get more low. Color is indeed CBP.

try using the roller to slightly pull the fender. id think that the wheels should fit; back in 2009 i fit 19x9+0 with only a roll (and the unintentional "pull" that came with it) and the cut tab, with no rubbing. i had the skunk 2 UCA (unmodified) maxed out in these pics.
