Amazon Knockoff Toyo Proxes

[305HemiGuy]

So I'm posting this for @Dan B. and anyone else that might be interested in these Amazon tires. Obviously they're knockoffs of the Proline Toyo Proxes, I purchased them for my Infraction. They feel pretty good in the hand, but they're more narrow and have a different offset from the stock Hoons. The way my body sits now, I'm having rubbing & clearance issues. To make these work I'm going to have to buy even longer body posts to raise the body even more since I'm already maxed out on the stock posts. I'm not running the stock Infraction body, so this may or may not be an issue if you run the stock body. Aside from them being more narrow, they definitely give it more of a real street car look, which is exactly what I was looking to achieve.

Cool.
Thanks for sharing.

So, they’re not as wide but the offset still causes clearance issues? I have a car these might be perfect for…

No problem man. I found some extended posts on Amazon that I think should work. If I order them soon I should get them by tmrw.

It's really hard to say. If your tires are already really close to the body, then you may run into an issue. Only way to know for sure is to do actual test fitting.

Yes, slightly narrower, and the offset is definitely not the same as stock tires. I really want to make these work

You can change the hexes to be narrower, as I have done. I’m running narrow in the rear and wide in the front, because I’m running 107’s in the rear, and it’s a drift car, so front needs to be wide.

Thanks for the link, I’d never seen them on Amazon. There are at least three flavors of them on AliExpress, and those are only 25.00 with free shipping if you don’t mind waiting a couple of weeks. It’s basically a set of four for the price of a single Hoon.

There’s at least one more style I saw as well, but I didn’t just find them.
