My twins
These ought to get some double takes once the one on the right is mobile? Got some icky rust around the rear wheels but the rest aint bad for a rust belt car. Those 13's sure look weenie!

Is it just me, or is the one on the left noticeably higher?

Re: My twins
It is mostly the tires. The back tires of the one on the right are on a higher surface so the front bumper is extra low.
195-70-14's are HUGE compared to stock 13's. You would laugh when placed side to side.
When installed you might even intimidate others as much as this guy and his ride http://www.break.com/usercontent/2007/6 ... 17224.html

I've noticed that a lot of cops are envious of my wagon.....alls I can say is...tough. We can't all be winners. 

Give a boy a gun-give a biatch a cell phone-and pretty soon you almost got yourself a police state.

Re: My twins
Kinda silly question asking if I use 14 inch rims with 14 inch tires.toughtercel wrote:those rim from MR2 ,are they 14" with 195/70 R14 or ??

The MR2 rim dimensions are 14x5.5 with 39mm offset.
The mostly worn 185-80-13's on my 84 are at least an inch shorter than the new 195-70-14's

Re: My twins
Hooray it lives! Engine/clutch job wrapped up last night. Put the MR2 wheels with the new 195-70-14's on today too. Now except for a pinstripe and the big TOYOTA on the upper right of the hatch, it is identical to my old 85. Runs/drives good(for stock carb and no vacuum advance). Better yet the trans feels excellent and makes zero noise. Best trans out of 4 so far I would say.
