We go full TRACK style on the GR Corolla

[@cooperautrey9479]

I’m an ex Toyota of Grapevine tech, 2 reasons for those lug nuts. They center the wheel on the studs and the washer on the lug nut creates a larger contact patch on the wheel compared to a conical or ball seat lug nut.

[@PlutoKushChris]

Thank you

[@firstatv]

yes

[@1InfinityShade]

That is the exact reason. BBS even makes a version of their wheels for these lug nuts. They also make the OEM 10 spoke wheel for the GRC and a few other TRD Pro wheels. If you are going to switch to an aftermarket wheel, you can buy ET (Extended Thread) spline drive lug nuts that will reach down further and give you more thread engagement for vehicles with short studs. Toyotas require a stud replacement, or ET lugs. Fun fact, the GRC is the only Toyota to have studs that is longer in 12x1.5. The rear GRC studs are longer than the front. The front studs are the same ones used on every modern Toyota in that thread pitch. This means, you could in theory use the GRC rear studs on any Toyota car to get extended studs for aftermarket wheels.

[@abcdefghijklmno68900]

im a tire tech and have also always wondered this thank you

[@tjbmx1883]

@@cooperautrey9479 Also an ex-toyota technician here. Yet another upside of these lug nuts is that they use a built-in washer that reduces friction against the bores in the wheel which reduces wear over time with continued wheel removal and installation. I feel like Toyota always has weird quirky surprises of things that are just slightly better than standard. Like the air intake duct built into the front undershield of the GRC that directs airflow upward at the exhaust manifold, turbo housings, and cat to keep them cool.

[@Danger-Dave]

I believe the green color swatch on your sway-bar designates a certain rate/weight for different editions of the build within the factory. If you noticed, the other one had a purple swatch.

[@Casemanager69]

Came here to say the same thing. Normally the colour indicates stiffness/rate/weight, as you stated.

[@MrSlawberry]

Adam, the reason of that style lug is cause its way more specific of centering the wheel to the hub, of which a conical lug nut can also, however, Tech's or people can cross thread a conical way easier... Hope this helps Also, aids within NVH (Noise, vibration, Harness) along with verifying trueness running of the Caliper/Rotor/wheel and keeping everything tied together.

[@tjbmx1883]

6:23 reason for the paint on the sway bar is a quality check I’m pretty sure. Usually if you find colored tape or paint marker or colored stickers or anything, it usually indicates the quality has been checked, in your case with the sway bar it means someone witnessed and verified that it was torqued correctly.

[@callummallaburn4327]

This is correct all car manufactures use this quality check on key components

Wild that a smaller car like that can fit 265's all the way around and not rub on coilovers! Also glad to see the 335i get some love with newer stuff that's fixed problems of yesteryear. I can't recall what turbo is on that car, but I'd love to see it back in action with a G35-900 to take advantage of the PI and tuning.

[@nickramsay2216]

those lug nuts are honestly super easy to use and are durable worked for toyota for 3 years and never heard or had a single issue with them

[@rl650603]

I've been running Armstrong tires on the front of my miata, and they have been amazing. No complaints.

[@alexcrf250x]

The lug nuts are cause the wheels are lug centering instead of traditional hub centering. When you balance factory toyota wheels or certain aftermarket wheels for toyotas to properly balance them your suppose to use "fingers" which is basically replicateing the lug nuts pushing in on the cone on the inside mountaing surface. But in short its what centers the factory toyota and lexus wheels.

The wheel nuts provide stability and vibration dampening because they are center the wheel to the hub alot better. The ring around the nut is called a slip ring which takes the vibration away from the cars hub.

I work at a toyota dealer. i like that style lug better than the conical because they to prevent the studs from ruster much better up here in the rust belt. toyotas with steel wheels still use the cone ones and the studs are rusted after 1 winter.

[@jessemorgan3409]

Leave the black sticker and do a blue broken to solid sticker to the back wheel well, reverse it pretty much if that makes sense.

[@isherzdeleon1544]

Like the wheel choice. Been thinking about DR9s for a while. If I had more time to clean them I would, pretty much the only reason I’m leaning toward 57CRs instead.

[@the.ghost.behind.u]

The one thing I'm jealous of is imagine how easy it is taking bolts out on a brand new car where the chassis doesn't even have dirt on it yet let alone 20yrs of rust on it. I just had to swap a diff n diff bushings on my jzs160 gs300 n doing it by myself without any help after work took me maybe 25hrs over the course of like 2 weeks of having the right tools. I can't finish it til tmrw cus I had to order new eccentric bolts for the toe arms cus the stock ones are seized to the mount n the ball joints are shot n stripped so im installing Megan adjustables but the new bolts took 2 weeks to ship. Went all SuperPro from Figs high horsepower diff bushings with billet inserts and put on Megan Racing rear Toe Arms, Traction arms, and 19mm sway bar
