Well.
In this case, 225>235s

235s would poke on 15s and that's NOT cool
PLUS!
225 over 235s = 2% MOAR GEER :rocking:

(sure hope it fits!)
The drop would be a solid inch and a half

Aww man...
There was a debate over 225/60s vs 235/70s

Don't get me wrong, i support that "stuffed" look but it's not what im after.
That drop is only a tiny bit.
I want lower and faster.
Better handling and better braking..but yeah it looks cool.
Im not about slingin dirt on the Crystal White though, you can count me in on a lil tucky-tuck however :headbang:

235/70 would rub i reckon
But yeah, it looks fun and cool ,it's just not what im in to :(

Theres no lifting or A/Ts goin on but it's all about the red lite digs!
I can get 1.5" drop out of the wheels and tires then another 1.5" drop off the coilovers.
That would prolly be too much though

I recently sold off my valve springs spares to a guy south of me, we met halfway. He had an iteration of what you have, and of course I have a Toyota Sienna.

He mentioned that is hard to argue with a Japanese vehicle as a DD. I tend to agree. Might have all the character of a toaster, but I know I’m gonna get there.

I bought (am buying) smoothies because it's the cheapest 15 that MAY fit on the humongo "Sport" trim front brakes. Chat gpt cant render them correctly. Thats the generic aluminum sport wheel it said.
I bought one (smoothie)to test fit it directly -cuz I want 15" RWL tires ofc..

and I understand much of this contradicts previous expressions in this very thread...and its all very very very 3-d.
:33:
Sure would be cool though. :cool:
And get me into the 15s AT 4000 POUNDS :p (reality)
lol sad face :(
