I love the blue! and your taste in wheels. All about 5 spoke. You're making me want 19s more than I already do!
No change here just another pic. oem FLCA and ball joints up next for this thing *cluck clunk*
Thanks. I'm a sucker for 5 spoke 19inch wheels. I like the Milans but the spokes could be slightly fatter. I wish I can go as low as you but I won't be able to park in my steep driveway if I do 😢. The UCA issue doesn't help either. This as low as I can go currently to avoid issues above.
I know what you mean, I wasn't always riding this low. In fact, I drove it stock for years. But about 12 months ago I picked up a little first gen Tacoma to be my new daily beater and shortly after, down the LS400 finally went. Thankfully the roads in my area (Scottsdale/Tempe, east of Phoenix) are pretty nice, and our terrain is very flat! Believe it or not its very rare that I knock the UCA on the strut tower, if that's what you're referring to? Maybe the 18's somehow give a little more clearance in that area?
Do you have a lip kit on the front and sides? Maybe in the rear too? Where'd you source those?

Roads here in San Francisco area are not that forgiving eg Steep driveways, potholes etc. Uneven transitions on freeway will give shock down the spine and is where the UCA on strut tower issue is the worst. I would doubt the rim size would have much to do with that, just the roads are bad here. My lip kit is a basic kit from ebay. I bought the VSaero all around fiberglass kit but switched out the front lip with a Urethane lip since it is more flexible and resistant to cracking on instances when it does scrape the driveway. They are in good shape after a year. That's the best I come up with without spending an arm and a leg on a full Polyurethane kit. Here is a shot from the back so you can see the whole kit...
