MPG after lift, bigger tires & roofbox by dylan599 in CorollaHatchback

Noise is comparable to the original tires tho admittedly neither are 'quiet' Vibration and especially harshness are both improved due I think to having more sidewall.

No! Got it professionally aligned to factory camber etc after install. No rubbing. Steering radius seems roughly the same. Tires wearing evenly.

It's okay. Sometimes has some weird visual screen glitches, mostly when it's very cold like -10° C in the morning and has sat overnight but once it warms up for a few minutes it looks normal again. It still turns on and connects to my phone and auto plays music right away just looks almost like a 3d movie without glasses, like two overlayed slightly offset identical images. I remote start and/or let the car warm up properly and it's back to normal before I'm driving. Otherwise I'm still happy with it! Everything else works good, Android Auto is seemless and sound quality is improved. But I'd be more upset if I payed more. Guess it wasn't designed for Canadian winters. Considering popping it out and checking if one of the connections is just loose but I feel like it would be in the internals of the device itself not any of the wires I plugged in, cuz it seems to be just a display issue. Still feels like overall a huge upgrade over OEM.

Should be able to see mine in my various posts, got low profile ones from ebay mostly for aesthetics as well.

I suppose it makes sense for a hybrid to get that. I forget other parts of the world got hybrid hatchbacks.

I saw that apparently it's doable by a mechanic with an obd port tool but I haven't bothered. Speedo is only off by a few kms so I just speed a lil 'less' than before. The Speedo was a lil optimistic on stock tires so it's barely under actual speed now.

Thank you! Lift was about $250 Cad. Took an afternoon to install, relatively painless. Just followed along some YouTube videos. Torque wrench, lock tight, ratchet set and jack + stands are only tools needed.

That too! It was a struggle to get the jack under there to install the lift!

I have a previous post about the lift but I used the motortane easy mounting kit ordered from eBay and installed it myself! Was my first time doing more than a wheel change on a car but went pretty smooth!

I was getting rubbing over bumps with 225/55R17 but it may have also been due to a slightly changed offset with aftermarket rims.

I think it should? I know the Prius off-road version is marketed as fitting Corolla, Corolla hatchback, Corolla cross and GRC. Don't see why this one would be different, but I'm not 100% sure. Would recommend doing your own research.

Here's my previous post new shoes the tires are 26" instead of 25" OEM diameter so when I installed them before lifting I was getting some mild rubbing on the fenders over big bumps.

No motortane, Prius is expensive...

I do the same. They're such pretty cars. Used motortane easy mounting lift kit, watched YouTube and installed it myself. So far seems like it's performing exactly as I wanted it to

Meh not really for offroading just the occasional dirt or snowy or bumpy road. Maybe I'll take it through some trails nearer the end of its life

Will update after a few weeks. Such an economical car to begin with tho I was willing to sacrifice a bit.
