Forged Wheels: Variant Evo Maxim in Satin Black

[Jmanlevan]

I thought I recalled you saying you’re going H&R and it looks awesome! Give it some time to settle maybe? How was the install on them?

I did go with H&Rs and a local shop installed them today! I thought the drop in the rear was going to be better but I could hardly tell a difference from stock. I know they need time to settle but they are still quite a bit off in my opinion even pre settling. Leaning towards trying out Swifts or HKS adjustables.

Pictures look great and the car has some rake to it! Swift was on my radar, but those do go low. Let us know what you do! Still looks good though

Thanks! Will do my man!

Looks great dude! Loved that you did everything all at once so you can REALLY feel the benefits lol Can’t go wrong with black on black with carbon mixed in. One thing I love about your build is that one may not notice every detail from far away, but taking a closer look at it, you can see the carbon all around the car and the unique wheel design and concavity etc. It’s coming along nicely!

Thanks so much for the compliments! That's kind of what I was going for! Some subtle details that aren't super noticeable from far away but once you start looking at my car closely you'll find its got some cool little additional touches and details. It's been a lot of fun so far! Can't wait for it to be making more power! Damn locked ECU! haha

For sure! Quite a bit was just done, and you might just enjoy the car as is for a bit, but as car guys, naturally the next question is: what’s next? Lol

Ended up going with Swifts. the 1.2" drop all around is perfect now. Updated pics above ?

yup, those prices are crazy for fully forged wheels! I kinda want to get a set of Nysa's in a different finish to occasionally change up the look and style. But I don't want to spend $2-3k on another set of wheels. But those prices make it damn tempting

My man. Looks amazing! I think since you switched I installed whiteline springs. Totally changes the whole car. Amazing setup!

Best picture of your car! Wow mate

Nice I’ve heard good things about whitelines. It definitely feels more planted with the lowering springs and wider rear tires. I’m super happy with my setup! And thanks for the comment about the picture! My buddy took that at cars and coffee a few weeks ago!

Don't run a 35 in the rear. The 30 is appropriate.

@Thraxbert Consulting with you again because you helped confirm the tire sizes before in this thread....I just placed an order for another set of wheels from this same company, but this set in 20".

20x10 in the front, 20x11 in the rear. Offset specs should be the same as my 19" set of wheels of +26 in the front, +37 in the rear.

Recommended tire sizes from Mike at Variant are Front: 275/30R20 and Rear: 295/30R20. Does this seem correct? His partner also threw out that I could run a 305/25R20 in the rear? Is that correct? From the little I could gather on my own before reaching out to you, 295/30R20 seems to be common for people with 20" on their Supras. But, I would prefer to have a 305 in the rear for the wider contact patch if I can run it.
