Feeler: Wider sawblades, possibly 17's?

[honestabe]

I'm with stretch, the 91-92 5 spokes do look nice (I had a set as my previous wheels). If you want them in 17's and wider, get the MKIV TT rims. They look damn close and are decent in pricing.

Umm no I would rather run saw blades then those. :3d_frown:

Your vote does not count, your Supra is not even turbo.

Go away riceboy:biglaugh:

Maybe I missed it: Whats the procedure to make the wheels 17" How do they do it???

I'd add 0.5" to the front width of a MkIV TT rear rim, and 0.75" to both sides of a front rim, making them a 17x9.5 and 17x10 pair. I'd have to check the clearance for the front rim because .75" is just a guess... but I know there's alot more room to stuff meat in that fender well. The rear rim has little clearance to the spring (0.25" or less), but a good chunk of space to the fender lip.

I really like the MkIV rims as they look so deceptively stock that people don't often realize how much tire is stuffed into the fenders compared to an average car. I would love to widen them and fit 275F/295+R with nice slightly stretched shoulders. I may even prefer it to aftermarket wheels.

I gathered that they cut the center piece of the wheel out and weld it into a new outer hoop.

Pointless to just widen a 16 inch wheel. I see that they can apparently make them 17's but to those that just want to make a 16 wider, go look for tires. They don't exist in widths to make these 10 inch wide wheels useable.

I see absolute no point in widing the sawblades, they're ugly.

I would consider widening the 91-92 5 spokes. I LOVED my 92's 5 spoke wheels. They fit with the supras' shape and style perfectly.

If you want wider 91-92s get MKIV NA wheels. Look essentially the same and are wider 16x8 and 16x9

Umm, the MKIV N/A rims are the same width. The TT rims are different though. The N/A rims are 16x7's, the TT rims are 17x8's and 17x9's

and taken from post 21...

N/A Mk4 wheels are 16x8 in front, and 16x9 in the rear.

I have a set of N/A Mk4 wheels in my garage.

 

[honestabe]

OK, I stand corrected.

Drag tires are readily available in 16in wheel, nice tire sizes too.

 

[BLACKLINE]

i'll be down to get a rear set

 

[projectsupra]

Why not just run wide steel rims and make cheap "sawblade" hubcaps? Same effect from 20ft and much more cost effective.
Or if you're dead set on spending loads of money do as YearOne did with the "snowflakes".

 

[OneJArpus]

i would like to see this done to the 91-92 5 spokes 16x9 with a good offset or 16x10. Def not the sawblades
