My 2012 Blizzard White Pearl Prius w/ FRS Wheels + H&R Springs

Just giving you a hard time.

 

Amazing car, take good care of it! It looks absolutely stellar.

 

I totally dig it. Did you keep the same lugs?

And which brand of spacers did you buy?

It's pretty tempting to buy seeing the ft86 forums selling me off like crazy. And I have my Prius five rims as well and wanting to change the look and I suppose the tires will switch right over!

 

I see that the FRS wheels have a +48mm offset. This would be beneficial from a fuel efficiency standpoint as it keeps the wheels tucked into the wheel well more and out of the airstream. The OE 17" wheels on the Five are a +50mm offset. The further a wheel sticks out of the wheel well the less aerodynamic the car becomes thus lowering fuel efficiency even further than the addition of a 17" tire alone will.

Just something to think about when adding spacers for the more flush look.

 

I'd like to get Bilstein but Bilstein UK have to do a special import from USA, so end up costing an extra $150, H&R are my next best option.

What kind of drop did you get and what is the ride like compared to stock?

 

Is this something that 1 of us can get for u & ship it to u instead of have.g to pay an import fee?

 

That would be amazing but the shipping alone from USA to the UK would be rather heigh on its own, putting them a lot more expensive than the H&R's, that are readily available to me over here.

Thanks for the help however!

 

Cool.

What is the ride like, harsher than stock, less roll?

 

car looks great!

where did you get the Toyota logo center caps?

 

Looks nice.

 

Question: you mention spacers, due to the +47 offset. But Prius plus wheels have a +43 offset and do not require spacers. So, was there really a clearance issue?


iPhone ?

 

i've bought this.. putting them on next week but my car is in the shop because some one hit me.

so jay... i can do it with 3mm spacers? and i need studs as well? then which studs ( size?) should i buy?

 

ah.. one more thing which spring should i buy? suggestions please. im leaning towards tein h tech right now because this web site is local and its only $135.
