think what you want buddy. you really dont know my abilities in car tuning. so i guess its rather easy to say that i wont fit. which it wont, especially not under stock body, unless you know what youre doing. and yes, it will be crammed under stock body, with the exception of shaving the fender lips.

any pics ? sure u can get them in there, but you'll have to camber it like crazy and it's going to look ridiculous.

on stock body 10J -26 on a ES ? your getting way ahead of yourself and talking way too fast.

He's an innovator, taking his car to another level. You don't realize what he's going to do to make these fit. You'll eat your words soon enough, don't worry.

no one is knocking his abilities...but for some of us who've owned ES's before, we just see it challenging to say the least.

i am really curious to see how it's done, cutting the fender lips and possibly stretching with a roller is one way, then the camber adjustment. possibly interchange of toyota parts in the rear to fit.

btw, what are the updates on it so far?

I don't think it will work even with a -8 camber, it will need at least -15. who knows.

there are basically 3 possibilities:

-camber like crazy, thin stretched tires...but will still need camber like crazy. Not even -8 will do it.

-widebody mods

-somehow move the hub in, which would require some major overhaul of the suspension parts.
