              Always surprises me how many people are from Canada on here!!

              Almost bought a Cressida from a friend once, but then he jumped a bridge and crushed the oil pan...

                    ughh, I need a second opinion, so I'm gonna leak what I'm up to because I am truly stuck on what I want to do.

                    Here is how my Mesh fit with a 195/55/15, about 4-5 hours of rolling/pulling done on the fender. Flipped the Inner lip out to make the flare wider.





                    Here's my question to you guys, what should I do for tires because obviously the 195/55/15 won't fit unless I install a fender flare, and should I radius my fender/door to make the flare taller.

                    • God that's gorgeous, I wouldn't do anything to the doors, just smaller tires with some stretch.
                      Or camber, but too much camber is gay. Maybe both? I don't know much about Cressida suspension though..

                      • It's a semi-rear trailing arm like a E30 3 series or a FC3S RX-7. I gain negative camber when I lower my car... I was thinking a 185/55/15 might fit if I can juust pull the fender a touch more.

                        • I love cressidas, I love jz motors, and I love this build, definitely subbed. We had the same fitment issues on my friends SR powered mx63 cressida, he ended up finding a set of mk2 jetta flares at the junkyard and trimming them down a bit and they came out perfectly.

                          • Thank you!

                            Unfortunately I don't want to take the easy way out and bolt on flares... stock metal would be so cool! I think I'll have to sacrifice grip and get a thinner tire.

                            • Nice Cressida, here's my brother's 1988. He's thinking of going for either a 1 or 2j swap for it, just wants to find a reputable shop that could pull it off for him. He's on 15x9 -0 offset Rotas and then Supra P-types for the winter setup.

                                Oh.. Well in that case I do know about Cressida suspension!
                                If you have a welder handy you may be able to weld an extra inch or two of steel to widen it, or rivet it on. Or build onto it with fiberglass.
                                Love Cressidas and this build!
