You can see the tire in the 1st pic and it sits on the same plane as the bumper.

Maybe, but check this out:

The dimensions are in mm, using the bolt circle of the white car as a reference. I'd estimage that the sizes could be off by as much as 25mm (the error in the estimation of the match on the left picture to the right picture, shown as the gap in the bumper to the top redlines between the two images)... so it is more an approximation than anything else, but you can get a good idea of the size of the tire from the super imposed 590mm circle on the lowered mkIII on the left side. I did it more for fun than anything else though, lol. If someone goes out and measures their front bumper to be about 300mm tall, I'd say my scale is pretty accurate.

I say give us pics or ban.

Keros, you're not factoring in the angle the vehicle is at on the left side. Find a pic of a similar angle...

A good point. I could do some geometry to prove it, but the difference between the two different apparent angles would produce a bit of error, yes... but not too much. Not enough to account for the giant amount of wheel we can't see, lol. I'm at home and I don't feel like installing any CADD programs, lol. But yeah, they're not perfect. I did it more for the laugh factor :biglaugh:

I'd say the error would be around 25mm. I didn't have time to rotate the perspectives of the photos so that they were on the same angle, or find ones that are. Ellipses are such a pain to get perfect in autocadd.

it's pretty obvious that his bumper is resting on a cement platform. YOu can see where the cement just cuts off which will be the area where his tires are.

I just wish my car was that low, it looks badass. Now the secret is out, it was a curb. A small curb, but still a curb. I thought I was going to hit my lip pulling up like that but I barely made it.

Here are some pics of my two pieces of shit together :/

I love your Supra's ruggedness. It's put together clean (sweet wheels, euros, visor) yet it's physically dirty.


Thanks, but I think the wheels are ugly as fuck and am selling them soon. Also the reason it's dirty is because it's been off the road for a year and not washed in that time.
