Wheels, Lowering, and Spacers. Pics & Specs

RPF1 certainly are a good choice, they used to be around in 19x8 at 18.7lbs
be careful you avoid RPF1-RC which are slightly heavier

19" Wheel weights - Mechanical Database

 

Enkei RPF1 according http://www.enkei.com/size_chart/RPF1.pdf is 19x8 35ET 5X100 20lbs - Still heavier than OEM but still lighter than my ADR 19s.

PCUser "madmarc" had 18s - I'd like one size bigger...19s

 

ow right
notice different weights per stud pattern

 

This site had a couple good looking cars: Willkommen auf der Startseite!

 

the one at top has posted here before
it had a number of detail mods
if I remember rightly the wheels are Prius Gen III 17"

 

The Silver Prius with the 17" Gen III wheels is my favorite. My goal is to one day have those wheels, or something similar on my Prius.

 

Have 8mm fronts / 15mm rears

Installing 20mm and. Sending the 15mm to the front. Stay tuned.






iPhone ?

 

Looks familiar!

 

The bigger wheels look so cool on the Gen2. I need some wheels!!! Pronto!

 

Rears installed. My torque wrench decided to take a crap. Will get fronts on after I get another one.





iPhone ?

 

Returned under warranty the harbor freight torque wrench now on to the spacers.

Had 8mm fronts and just need a small push out.

15mm front & 20mm rears.

Now the front sits flush and the rear needs another push out. Still torn as I might need 25mm.









What you think???




iPhone ?

 

I think Toyota should have put touring wheels on all of em. they look way better than the 15"s.

looks good as long as they don't rub.

 

No rubbing at all. Although I may want to go with 25mm rear but that might rub.

In the world of vehicle modification 'rolling' the fender lip is common.
It makes more room to push the wheels out further and offsets rubbing as a problem.

There are tools you can buy to do this, but there are plenty of youtube vids on DIY methods without

 

yeah. rolled the chevelle with a comma dolly and body hammer, but that was before paint. I don't think its worth possibly damaging the paint for a wider spacer. now if you were gonna try and shoehorn some 235/35r18 tires in there...

 

people get away with it by warming the panel with a hair dryer
without cooking the paint, just softening it so as not to crack it
the rolling can be done with a round wooden handle

the 'proper' tool to do this does a brilliant job
and can roll the lip a little at a time, so that nothing unsightly happens'
but they cost $120-$150 on ebay

 

Pretty sure rolling won't fix the rear rubbing. He would need his fender pulled or have the rear bumper screw moved as that is what rubbed on my 30mm spacers over big bumps. The fender was never an issue on front or rear...just the bumper screws.

 

Does anybody have a picture that they could post of a 2nd gen with 1 inch drop that has stock NON-touring 15 inch rims? I am seriously considering dropping my 2005 Prius, but I am afraid it'll look funky with the smaller 15 inch wheels. Thanks!

 

How about lowered more than 1 inch.... ?
