They look so much longer though.
Perhaps it was dry turning, or my new contacts. Who's to say?

Haha, well I was a little bit naughty and bought them from interstate, so I don't have them yet
I got them for a steal though, $355 on auction with 4x Yokohama Ecos ES300 (admittedly the cheap ones) that are only 7 months old and the condition of the rims is amazing, only one little scratch of gutter rash on one rim! The seller is really busy though and hasn't been very fast to respond, so I sent him through the $95 for shipping yesterday and hopefully they get sent by the end of the week maybe?
(For comparison, generally one set shows up in Australia every 6-8 weeks and generally costs $550 in not necessarily as good condition and with no tyres, and I have never seen a set for sale in my state
).

Brisbane Celica Club Cruise today - I was the only 6GC though :'(
And bought a pair of +25mm spacers for the new wheels (rear). I didn't want that big but I got them cheap ($50 second hand off a mate - supposedly Hubcentric when he bought them but he has his doubts), I'll probably go down to 20mm bolt on for the rear and 10mm on the front at some stage.

25 mm spacers for the rear will be good for a set of Caldina rims if you want them flush. I would like to have 15 or 20 mm for my rear. I still tuck in the rear.

I'm not sure if I do want them flush or not, that's my problem
I just love the way yours looks as it is!

They look pretty awesome
+25mm spacers on the back. Unfortunately I have already cut the new tyres because I was scrubbing on my STOCK SPRINGS!!! -.- I had to turn around and take my stock wheels out of the back and now it only scrubs with lateral load, rather than every bump. Also, one tyre came with a complimentary nail in it, but is still holding air.
Grip... Gone from 205 to 215 width.... But lost soo much grip :'( What happens when you go from $250 per tyre UHP's to $125 per tyre base model Yokohama Eco's.
Hard to see, but I also fitted my SSIII front grill.

I had the same problem. My rpf1 was with 225/45 was rubbing against by stock struts. Then I upgraded to Megan's and I was good.

Were you scrubbing on fender or struts/springs?

Most likely the negative camber that he got from running low. That's what caused my rubbing issues. Upgraded to Megan Racing for skinnier struts and installed my camber bolts to put some positive into the wheel.

Nah, this was on the back where I have the 25mm spacers anyway - there is heaps of clearance in all directions, just over bumps and turns the outside tread was getting chopped up by the sharp inside edge of the guard. I took my old wheels out of the boot and that greatly helped, but it still just scrubs when going around corners quickly.

Yeah, that will probably be the best option for now - I just need to find where to take it and how much they will charge

If you live in CenCal. I could direct you to one of the best fender roller in CenCal. He does it for $80 for all four. People be hitting him up all the way from NYC just to roll fenders. Lol. Fender rolls usually go around $80-$120 for all four.

I had rubbing issues when I had 225/45/17's with no spacers on 7J rims, +45. I can only imagine how bad you are rubbing now.
Definitely get your fenders rolled. It's either that or get some super stiff suspension.

Well I didn't really want to pay for either
I will probably get them rolled very slightly, but I do have a cunning scheme for free coilovers in planning....

I was going to say that its not worth it, but the local shop just quoted me $60 per guard! (And that was since it was an easy job, and I didn't want them rolled much).
