How about your rears? Man if my car was that low my front bumper would be like 3 inches above the ground

well my setup is
19x9.5 +40 front 235/35/19 (I think I could have ran 245's on the front but I just ran 235's to be safe)
19x9.5 +22 rear 245/35/19

I am on espelir ASD on Tokico Blues




and of course gotta finish it off with my infamous PEDOBEAR! lol (picture taken by UZZ-TT at The Pursuit)


hope this somewhat helps with your spacer decision

Rears are 19x10.5 +35 w/slightly stretched BFG's.
Lugnuts were Rays black extended duraluminum closed ends, not that you asked-hehe
The plan (when I still owned them) was to swap over to BFG all around- but all is sold now. :/





Just get air-cup coilovers for the height dilemma if you drive it alot on the street
Now this is getting off subject- back to spacer discussion /:

That is actually a really good ride height. My coilovers needs rebuilding soon and Tein charges $300 to rebuild. Plus, i would have to deal with 2x labor, 2x alignment, and the hassle of borrowing someone's old set around during the downtime.

I might just downgrade to a setup similar to yours and sell off my Tein SS and the EDFC so someone else can rebuild it for $300.

How much did you pay for the shocks?

245 tires would fitted on my 8.5 +38 wheels without any issues but I like 235s better.

By looking at your setup, it seems that I can probably run 265 tires with a +30 overall offset in the rear. Any more pictures?

I paid about $240 for my shocks brand new. I haven't really taken any new pictures of my car because I've been so busy that I never had the time to. Heres one more picture of it further away so you can see how it sits. Don't mind the car being gray, my brother was playing around with HDR hahaha He has the original picture but he doesn't know where it is in his computer hahah


Oh yeah I forgot to say that I shaved my rears and rolled my fronts.

Looks good in that off color actually... [Now I'm really off topic]
Like factory Toyota color 'Sandstorm' (which is on the FJ Cruisers)

DWPsc3,

Do you know your camber specs by chance? You don't have a camber kit, correct?
