BobbyBreeze Posted July 3, 2009 Share Posted July 3, 2009 Totally doable. Just wouldn't be too driveable Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mixmasterlex Posted July 7, 2009 Share Posted July 7, 2009 God I want one of these. Agree that the smaller wheels look nicer. It's almost like the N****s in the states who stick 30inch wheels on the low lows. Just not right. Plus I'd be scared of the thing tipping over. Awesome car anyway, bet it's loads of fun around the roundabouts in the wet! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
My name is Russell Posted July 7, 2009 Share Posted July 7, 2009 I preffer the 512 wheels that XXR have now over the 002's if only they came out in 5 studd they look choice in the pics above Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R100 Posted July 14, 2009 Share Posted July 14, 2009 Could just do what i did and slap a 1UZ in one. Some of you may of seen it befor as i built it about 4 years ago. Main reason i did it was to prove it could be done. All in all a great conversion. Handled well and went pretty hard. Alot of work though. Can run through the whole conversion in cluding diff swap if anyones interested. I have some finished pics of it somewhere but the pics below are all i could find at the moment. I have since sold it and it now runs NOS and is a consistant 12 sec car. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

karmagedon Posted July 28, 2009 Author Share Posted July 28, 2009 Here are some picks that I took when I first put the wheels on The good : I like the way larger wheels make the car look even smaller The bad : scrubbing and lots of it. Can't say I've noticed alot different ride characteristics however. Another bad point : I am actually really starting to like the look of 13's + slam. However, due to the fact that these tyres cost me a shitload, I will only look into getting new wheels once these tyres start to die. ( skids to hasten process?? ).

kyteler Posted July 28, 2009 Share Posted July 28, 2009 I prefer smaller wheels but I could understand 17's in a style that was more appropriate for the car. Those ones you have on there are just plain nasty. I can't think of any vehicle they would suit, oh, no... maybe an islander-spec Estima. Still, it's quite likely you could sell that rim and tyre combo for a amount that would cover the purchase of a smaller wheel and tire combo.

Speaketh the truth Plus a even if there is a bit of outlay cost, it would be more than payed back by 1000% increase in awesomeness over existing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
