Rubbers rolling on are Coopers tires
Both Fronts and Rears are stretch to MAX!!!! Scary for a daily driving!
Plus had to roll/pull all four finders pretty far out to fit these offset wheels

Megan racing coilovers. Drooping the rear springs about 1" Front could go way lower
Anyone know how these fit with a different PCD to 114.3?
Redrilled or spacers with the the correct PCD on the outer studs?

Looks ****.

redrilling x120 to x114.3 is pretty hard, usually requires welding+filling IIRC.

x112 to 114.3 is more common.

Mild 3" drop over 06 GS430 18x8" wheels with 245/40/18 Conti's
A couple of worn suspension parts are keeping me from dropping it any lower, I don't want to go any lower before i address these just for piece of mind.
