That is the same as my wheels except for being 18s. I run 255/40. So if you run 255/35 you would be running the same as me. Rears need to be rolled. Post pics when you get whatever.

Thanks for the input. The car is being painted as we speak Super Red I am in the process of building the engine as well I will keep you guys updated.

BTW: You may want to run a 245 instead. I am likely going to slightly smaller tires to improve the rolling diameter, though it won't be for a while.

Thanks for that. Have you ever seen a st185 with the TRD wing from a 2001 celica?
Because I know a guy who has one.

There is a maroon 184 with a 3sgte that has one. It looks pretty decent. You got pics?

I currently have 18x8s, 235/40-18 (+35 offset). No rubbing on the outside/slight rub on the inside. Looking for 17x9 (+30 or +35 offset with 235/45-17 tires)

Are you on stock struts? I forget those are bigger than coilovers.
