like the new wheels much more!

[TerenceJCruz]

Small update: Picked up some new wheels. Sorry Stanceworks, they're still reps lol. But I really do love them. 16x9 JNC014 +25. +15 in the rear because of spacers. Here's some pictures, let me know what you think. Thanks guys! I h*** how high my car looks from the rear lol.

So after realizing I STILL had some reverse rake going on, I raised the rear once again, and also took out the spare tire (aka weight reduction, lmao jk) But, I am definitely happy with the results and the car barely EVER scrapes in the rear now, even with passengers, which is amazing. On roads I usually would hit my subframe pretty hard I now can go over with no issues. Front still scrapes only when turning, so that doesn't bother me too much. Maybe I will do some more work to the front fenders in the future. I start my mental health specialist program tomorrow and it's about a 45 minute commute both ways, so the fact I raised the rear actually helped make me much more comfortable and confident to drive it around, especially if I have some classmates ride with me. Subframe is still about 2" from the ground though. I'm also excited to start my serving job, so hopefully with tips will bring me some better income for more legit parts I'm just enjoying the car, so here are some random pics of her being thirsty I'm also thinking about removing my mudflaps. They look so tiny in the rear because of my wheels lol. Thoughts?

if you're gonna smoke the headlights, I would recommend smoking the clear part of the tail lights the same amount so the taillights aren't the brightest part on the car

Edit: and the side markers

Ahhh that's a good point. Thanks man I'll definitely look into that.

Reminds me of the 6th gen Civic hatch quite a bit. Really cool platform actually. Love it.

Same here man! I was actually comparing it to the EG hatch before, but then I realized it really does look a lot like the EK hatch. Thanks a lot though man, I appreciate it! Just an egg on wheels haha

More pics just cause haha. Next on the list will be my exhaust, and smoke the headlights a tiny bit. First picture also shows how much lower I went from stock height because of the white Yaris next to me.

I'm in love! I wish more people modified these. They look so good when done up this well.

Thanks so much man! And i agree, these things in Asia are ridiculous! Mostly static too, which is even cooler haha.

Put a 5mm spacer in the driver side rear (I have 10mm hubcentric spacers in the rear already, but I just added a 5mm to compensate for the crooked torsion beam that affects the offset on that side). All Yarii my year and possibly ones before that got stuck with it too Talked to people on the Yaris World forums and they said a 5mm should do the trick. In this picture it looks like the left side pokes more, but it's probably cause of the angle. In person it looks more even



Noticed a white Yaris (He has an 07 I believe, we talked when he walked outside lol. His has different tail lights, and our front and rear bumpers are a bit different too, even though you can't quite tell) parked next to me at work, so I guess here's a stock vs. not picture too lol. I just like this picture, even though this is BEFORE the 5mm spacer. The two girls just happened to walk by when I took it, and no, sadly the car didn't break their necks.. OH WELL. Lol.

Went a little lower and took her to my friend X at Les Schwab for an alignment Sorry if the pic is too big I'll resize it when I get home.

Finally received my 6" 10k and 5" Swift springs via FedEx. Time to go lower and fix my fitment to get it exactly how I want it. I'll post a picture of the car when they're installed! Now I gotta figure out what to set my dampening to lol.
