Heya,
I would like to put wider tyres up front for looks as i prefer the beefer look, also having a bigger sidewall would help with kerbs + comfort isn't a bad thing either
Like 235/40/18 instead of the standard 225. I have F-sport so the lower suspension i presume.
It looks like even a 45 profile would fit the massive arch gap it has too but haven't seen anyone else try this?
235/45 might be pushing it too much maybe?
I have searched throughout the web but not got a definite answer if they will rub or not
I have already put bigger tyres at the back for comfort, 255/40/18 instead of the 255/35/18 and they fit perfect.
In the past i have put bigger tyres on my CT i had also and that helped with comfort + looks. 225/50/17 instead of stock 215/45/17
FYI i know about speedo issues, insurance issues ect lol
If anyone has tried this i would love to know.

my current exhaust tips are still oval and much bigger, too bad my boxes are really small so its quite loud, thats why i want to go back standard and just put bigger tips on

according to that link its listed for 06-13 models. 1 out of the 5 eBay adverts lists it for 06-13 reg also while the rest only list for 06-08.
How can some places say they are for the whole range and others not. I reckon the ones listed for 06-08 would fit my car but i dont want to risk spending £200 on something that has a chance it may not.
Like that site you first sent me Ken, it has the same part number as one for your 07 reg.
-
No they all use the same generic picture and just the number changes.
Bet the price of it is like 200 more havent had time to phone them yet but I have emailed them
-
Just done a little more research and turns out theres another part code for the exhausts, LEX6012 and LEX6013
6012 is the common one for 06-08 cars and the 6013 for the 08+. All the sites require a phone call for the prices on the 6013 so will give them a ring
God knows whats the difference between the two
-
so what do you reckon about that eBay link i posted. you think that should still fit my car even though its out of the age range because that toyo site says mine uses the older exhaust?
I also found this site that does the exhaust from that item code off that site, costs about £50 more than the eBay one.
-
I just checked that site and mine is the same as yours
PIPE ASSY, EXHAUST, TAIL 17430-31490 Because mines an SR model and i think they only made the SR in the pre-facelift body

Hi there,
Im looking to buy a new rear section of my exhaust, the two back boxes. This is because i had custom boxes fitted and now its too loud for me so just want to go back standard.
When i search to buy it on eBay, there are a few that are listed for 06-08 models only and when i message them they say it wont fit my car.
My car is a 2009 on a 58 plate SR model and i think its a pre-facelift because i dont have the newer rear lights or the front bumper.
Would the exhaust still fit anyways or is there a difference, if so any idea's on where i could buy one as iv'e been looking for ages ?
This is one of them iv'e messaged about and they said it wont fit
Any info would be great cheers.

I am on the lookout for some good part worns to put on the front for a test until i get my wheels refurbed + colour change this year, so will update when i have put the tyres on
Good to hear + when i had my IS 250 i put 19s on it from a Mazda so didn't experiment with the stock rims. Nice looking IS btw.
