19" = yes

8 = j no

225/35 R 19 Tires = Yes


I have 225/35 R19 skins on 19" 7 j rims, rides the same, meets inspection specs here in Japan.

Good luck!
Peace!(rei)

Off base, Okinawa city, Misato area, down the street from the fire station.

Lot of things have changed around here, when were you on Oki last?

Peace! (rei)

I believe stock is actually 52.5mm, My 19's are 48mm and 8.5" wide and no rubbing on 215/35 tires ( no rolled fenders with a 1.8" drop (Megan racing Springs) )

kid you got some more pics of the drop? I've been thinking about changing my springs, but was gonna go with H&Rs or progress(but just found out progress uses the springs from the 3), how's the ride on the megans?

Honestly, I've had lowered cars all my life...I'm 34 and since I was 16 I've been driving lowered cars ( cut springs, heated springs, Apex springs, Coil overs, Eibach springs, Megan Racing Springs ) and honestly this has been the best ride I've had from a lowered car...I've had friends drive it and not believe that it doesnt bounce and how well it corners...Would I recommend Megan Racing..Hell Yeah!. Here is my CarDomain page for more pics

Take the tail lights to a body shop, have them paint that black area white to match the car, that flat black = Ewww in my book.

Sorry just had to say that.

Peace!(rei)

Flat Black? That's Night Shade paint with like 3 layers of clear afterwards. Painting them white would be EEEWWWW! Can someone photoshop what white tail light would look like. Just the visual in my head doesnt look right...with the black it atleast flows somewhat with the tinted windows. Hey your opinion is your opinion and I'm cool with it.
