Wierd question, can you measure the shock body length og those shocks you got? they look pretty short!

[Awful Hero]

The taller tires tend to bubble out, i have always liked that about doing stretch setups on 13s and 14s.
It is traditional old school style.

Looks killer man, I would go with the taller of the two tires, will keep with the classic JDM theme

So I did some test fitting today and I'm going to stick with 13x8 et-13 for the front and 13x8et -38 in the rear. So I only got in my 2 13x8et-38 so here's the pics for the test fit.

So the et-38 is a bit too negative on the front so the et-13 will be perfect!

The et-38 is perfect on the back with a little fender roll.

The only thing I'm trying to figure out now is if I should go 175/60r13 or 175/50's. Well let me get some opinions! What do you think?

Got one of my test wheels in today!!! 13x8 et-38. I'll keep yall updated on the fitment.

I do, but I haven't really done much for the car in a while. All the parts I want to buy are abit out of my price range. Right now I have been trying to clean up the engine bay, got rid of the huge air filter set up but nothing really big. Threw some gauges in the old console.

Just sold my bike so I am hoping that i can also get a 32/36 webber maybe. It has the 3tc/1.8 motor too so its pretty much a tank you could say. Never breaks down or has any problems.

I have a 1981 corolla lift back that is my daily right now I have 15x8s on some knock off wheels, cant afford 1500 for ssr stars sharks eh. I am running 205/50 really big I know and the springs are chopped abit too.

This Saturday I am going to get some 195/45s, hoping it sits nice ive seen a few corollas with them.

Man its always good to here about another classic toyo. And I feel you brother, 1500 buck can be alot to shell out at times. Those 195/45 are gonna look nice bro. Do you have a build thread?

The previous owner slammed the front end on the old blown out shocks and cut way too many coils off the springs. So the springs are brand new for a 1982 Ford Courier. They are a direct replacement for the stock Toyota spring but much thicker. (Just an FYI)

Be sure to check tire size avalibility also, not a huge selection in 13s and 14s.

I like the idea of sourcing Ebay for some old school wheels.
I don't think you should mess with any diamonds or aero, not that they are bad wheels,
just real played out imo. Negative offset 15x8 w/ 195/50R15 is also a good option.

Searching bro, searching... If anything I'll have 2 sets of wheels for 2 different looks. Thanks for the input.
