    Love the look! I just ordered my own TRD front lip spoiler so it’s good to see how awesome it looks

    hows the fitment on the 8.5 wheels? Are they the original 40mm offset? I’ve been wanting to swap to a 18x8.5 40mm tesla wheel but I’m v nervous about that width.

    Great looking combo with the coil-overs and wheels, those 40 series 19's look great.

    How's the ride quality on the coil-overs? I'm sure the traction and handling has significantly improved with the 245's, any rubbing issues with that tire width and ride height drop? Any noticeable change in MPG's with the wider tire?

    Sorry for all the questions, I plan on lowering and swapping out the wheels for my SE as well, just not sure what wheel size to go with, thanks!

    Hey do you think a 19x8.5 +35 would also fit with that same tire but 235/40? Just got a 24’ Prime and hate the chrome wheels. Was looking at the Corolla GR wheels on marketplace. Black, multispoke. Coming from GTR and M4 lol need some black factory looking wheels on it with a bit more offset. Thanks in advance

    That combo will stick out almost an inch and a half more than the stock wheels. (1.44" to be exact) The 235/40 will be slightly smaller than stock wheel and have slight amount of stretch on the sidewall with the 8.5". I think you will be cutting it very close to rubbing on compressions. Might be ok on stock ride height but definitely not lowered.

    yep I think you are right. Would be risky spending the $1500 on the wheels without a proper test fit. Might be a mistake. Will post whatever I do. May just PC the stockers. Plastidip even for a quick fix idk yet
