New 18 Wheel Offsets

[InflatedGuy]

First post as a IQ owner, few upgrades done, xenon upgrade, and mirror drl lamps installed.

now time for wheels.

i have some sparco assetto gara 18x7.5j wheels on order to mount to 215/35r18 tyres, here is the question... they are et35 offset.

am I going to have difficulties?

will post some images soon.

[InflatedGuy]

Done. Needs lowered now.

Loads of clearance, no rear change s to the tyre envelope👍

Anyone know any uk suppliers of the TRD sway bar kit?

[Soeley]

Looking good, I'd forgotten how high they stood on standard springs  I think Craggle on here has fitted a sway bar (someone definitely has).

Caliper paint next?

[InflatedGuy]

More pressing needs, looks like I need brake pads!😩 But yes will black out the calipers. 

[craggle]

Shame you got black wheels, can't see them. 

I have indeed got the TRD sway bar. Ended up importing it from the States as couldn't find any UK supplier for them. I imported the Scion roof spoiler too as it's a big bigger than the UK one and improves the look no end. 

Have a look at my car thread as the sway bar, lowering springs, spoiler etc. are detailed in there.

Cheers craggle.

just ordered 30mm Lowering springs and the TRD away bar whilst they are still available. Could resist a set of switchback led indicators too.

soo tempted by the scion spoiler, but carry bikes on the back and won't work with my carrier.

so much for this being just the second car😩

Thanks gents!

Looking good! Which springs did you order? I have the Eibach ones but I wish I ordered the H&R ones as they sit a bit lower.

[InflatedGuy]

Hi got Direnza 30mm springs front and rear, have no idea if I'm gonna get rubbing with my set up just have to get them on and see. Will post full pics when they are done.

Are you going for this look? 

 

[InflatedGuy]

This is the starting point from a stance point of view.

Nice, I ordered the Scion IQ wing a few weeks back. I'll let you know how I get on.

[InflatedGuy]

Cool, I had an eBay marathon a few nights back, cancelled the scion wing the next day through guilt haha. Will be good to see the quality when the raw part turns up👌

Oh man, you should just go for it, I think it changes the look of the car completely.

Those are Musketier wheels, they don't have them for sale on their website. It's probably worth contacting them to see if they have them.

Hi Kansai, literally just tracked them down & sent an email... pretty nice arnt they !!

Yeah, they look diamond cut but not sure if it's just painted that way. Gives the IQ a bit of a refresh.

[InflatedGuy]

Got the IQ dropped by 30mm all round, and the TRD Sway bar installed, rides far better, no understeer, rides the A roads like a dream. Feels like an original mini. 

Switchbacks installed on the sidelights, xenons and 3in1 mirror DRLs

Getting better, time for a wrap and tint.

[drb5]

Gotta say, that looks ace!😎👌🏻

 

Where did you get the swaybar and what are switchbacks and 3in1 mirror DRL's?😕

[InflatedGuy]

Sway bar from California Scion Dealer, Original TRD Toyota parts.

3in1 DRLs in the mirrors replace mirror mounted indicators with, puddle lamps, and DRL functionality.

Switchback LED side lamps add DRL functionality to the front indicator lamps 

will get some pics of I can.

No rubbing on the wheels at all, got lucky with the ET35 offsets.

[Rob1769]

Daniel -- where did you get the DRL Indicators from ???

[InflatedGuy]

eBay. easy install.

Thanks very much. 👍🏻 Pics would be awesome 😎

Sway isn't cheap!😮 I'm sure it's worth it however.
