Default another winter wheel option

so i put a set of Mitsubishi Evo 8 Enkei's on my car with Blizzack's for the winter.

wheel specs: 17x8+38?

clear ls400 brakes by a ton. will clear supra tt breaks too.

my car is still slammed. when we start getting 4+ inches of snow ill lift it up.

the wheels are strong and a great buy. you can use your stock toyota lug nuts with them as well. mitsubishi uses the same "big lug and washer" type of lug nut. you can even use mitsubishi lug nuts if you want. they are the same thread pitch as toyota. m12x1.5

he are some pictures:

side


rear


front


closeup of the rear suckatude....i mean sunkatude


ls400 brake clearance


and this is just for fun.

waking up tuesday morning to see this. notice im still on summer wheels and michelin pilot sports.

this=fail

still drove on it for 2 days while i found some time to mount the blizzack's

Nice, your SC looks like it needs some major TLC.

my car is a daily beater/drifter/driver. its not a hard-park mobile. it gets used. mechanically its excellent. looks wise who cares.

i broke the left exhaust hanger a while ago drifting and been way too busy with work to make a new one. the right exhaust is bent up from drifting and riding the curb a bit lol

it will all get replaces in spring with a custom exhaust along with an NA-T setup and other cool stuff

Don't you get ticketed for everything you do to your car in Cali?
