    Really interested in seeing that build.
    When I get to a good stopping point with the scion I'd like to grab a mk3.

    I also wouldn't mind seeing pictures of said wheels...those specs are perfect for my car.



    If it's a secret I'll just wait patiently then...

    on the teg i run 205/40/17s with GC coilovers, tucking just a little in the front and dropped right on the tire in the rear. before the IA haters get started, i have a 4-door teg with a front and rear lip so i can get away with having 17s

    i probably have -1ish camber in the front and -1.5ish in the rear. works out for me as a DD

    I don't think a fender sitting on top of tires is proper fitment. If I am going that low then I am going all out and tucking the tires so far into the fender well you have to remove the inner fender. Of course that requires adjustable suspension but so be it. If I'm going low then dammit I am going all the way.
