Took the white 17's off & put a set of chrome 16-inch probe gt rims on. Im a big fan of old school stuff, so little rims are cool to me...

 

looks real good. u could amost have gotten away with makin the valance chrome.

 

Nice! Can't wait to get some wheels on mine!

 

ehh look like knock off porsche rims to me but w/e makes you happy man lol.. where the 17s going ?

 

ford parts on a toyota........ blasphamy!!!!

look nice though....

 

i love how low it is and not being bagged

 

Hahahahah he has a point! Lol

They look good still!

 

question did u use a spacer on the your front wheels looks nice like that nice koolor

 

Im using a 2-inch spacer on the front, but you can make it work with 1/4 disc brake spacers as well too. I just used the 2-inch style cause I wanted the wheel to sit further out. Plus Im going to running Lexus IS300 FWD rims later on & you need to have spacer to run those.

 

Those liik very nice, but I myself would have gone for the 18" rims from a 1991 Dodge Stealth R/T Twin Turbo... my grandfather has that car and it is b****en. Not to mention, the passenger side rims are mirrored from the driver's side. But why of all possible names did Ford choose "Probe?" Not only do they look like wierd, mishapen UFO's, but it sounds to me like it's what aliens would do to someone in one!

 

they named it probe because its a girls car

 

haha! yep, specifically marketed toward women, and i heard thats how they came up with the name for the pontiac VIBE!

 

i always wanted to be a probe salesman back in the day

 

And yet I read that that front wheel drive chick car was supposed to be a replacement for the ever popular Mustang when it came out, at least Ford got one thing right by keeping the Mustang and dropping the (disgustingly named) Probe.

 

How low did you go on the back? And how?

 

I cut/raised the front leaf spring hangers, 4-inch angle blocks. mono-leaf with airshocks & a c-notch. Oh & something you can do for clearance with your leaf springs is to use 4x4 leafs like Im using. Kinda hard to explain how they are different lol, but I can take pics if needed.

 

thanks! thing looks hammered. if you don't mind, do you have pics of the rear setup. how about the front?

 

Ive got plenty of the front...its simple. I just cranked down the torsion bars, installed DJM lower control arms & flipped the ball joints. The lower control arms lowerd the front 3-inches alone & flipping the ball joints gives you an inch.

flipped ball joints...you do this to the upper & lower control arms

DJM lower (3-inch drop) lower control arms...not the best pic lol

*Its crappy weather here in SC, but it will be clearing up soon & Ill get some better pics of the front & some of the rear as well.

 

i definitely did the spindle mount flip. works great so far.


AND YES IT HOLDS UP... I went over a curb... bigass curb and did a whole inspection... not a scratch, alignment is straight hahah.

IS300 FWD rims? IS300's are always RWD
