Drag Setup Wheels/tires Pictures and specs...Enjoy...56k Go watch borat
15x3.5 front 1.75" back spacing M/T Sport Runners (DOT Approved) 26x7.5
15x8 Rear 5.5" backspacing with M/T Drag Radials 275-50-15
Lowered on Eibach and KYB
Issues?
-Front calipers need grinding then a 1/4inch spacer takes care of it
-Rears go in with no issues
-I'm shaving the fenders even though i know rolling would be all necessary (in the back) but i find easier to shave than to roll.
Results?
Car drives MUCH better than it did with 19" wheels skinnies are make the car easier to point and go BUT I advice you go to empty parking lot and slam the brakes a few times with them so u can test the new limits of your stopping distance due to a more reduce front contact patch. WHen i launched it on the street car tracked straight and despite a biut of wheel sping (it was 50 degrees last night and tires are fully inflated (30PSI) car spun for a second and just moved foward.

It’s a Toyota Soarer. End story. You Americans are the ones who decided to slap on a L badges, and call it a Lexus for sale’s purpose.
Never the less we aren’t here to argue this.
M34LNCH do you have any before and after ¼ mile times? What are the specs on your car? Other then minor info above.
