Wheel Fitment & Question Thread

[spiller]

Thanks for the pics, your setup is nice! Probably more camber than I would want to run on the rear because mine is a track set up but a little bit is good for cornering. How much camber are you running back there? Also what are your front wheel and tyre specs if you don't mind me asking?

What is Duane's username on here? I might send him a PM for some more info...

Duane is upgradedsupra I think. Front I believe is 19x9.5 +25 or so with a 255 tire.

 

[BigKO]

what would it take to make these fit? 18x9.5 +12 and 18x10.5 +15 i know a definite roll, but would a pull be required? And what size tires? Just curious because some wheels I want only come in this size lol. Can also consider 18x9.5 +12 all the way around. Thanks

What tire sizes were you thinking of running? That is pretty close to my RPF1 set up I had before and I ran 245/40/18 all around. Fronts were rolled flat maybe slightly pulled. Rears were rolled flat, If you pull the rear fenders you can fit a larger tire.

My bad about the late response havent been keeping up on here, but I was hoping to run a 245 up front and hopefully a 265 out back, but doesnt sound like that would work. How labor intensive is pulling the fenders? Does it require a repaint? Also, I suppose it wouldnt be the end of the world to run a 245 out back. Just trying to find a balance of "that look" and performance. How much camber were you running with the similar RPF1 setup?

EDIT: Would the 9.5 + 15 all the way around instead of staggered allow me to run the larger tire out back without pulling? If so I will probably go with that.

Becasue the offsets are on the 10.5 and 9.5 are same the tire it self is going to sit almost the same position but you will gain a bit of clearance though with the 9.5. As for pulling, if you are careful you can pull the fenders with out a repaint. A slight pull will give you enough room to run a 265. I don't remember exactly how much camber I was running since it has been years but I believe it was about 2.5*.

Quick question for you wheel guys, would a 17x8 +40 all the way around fit decent? If my estimations are correct they will stick out from the front fender .5" or so, but i dont know if im off or by how much. Has anyone run a similar size all the way around?

Thanks ahead!

 

[BorHor]

Way off. They will actually be sunk in the fender.

 

[gsxr141]

we definitely need pics of a mk3 with 315's out back, and what it takes to do it.

 

[BorHor]

Here is a 325 lol

Hey Bor, when you get a chance, could you do a set of XXR 502 in the same photo you did the MB Battles? Thanks.

 

[hvyman]

18x10 +25 you can run a 275 in front or back as long as your not slammed and tucking tire.

good to know, thanks for the info. Will the wheels be "sticking out" or will it be fairly flush? What do you do to pull/roll the fenders? Do you just use a roller and continue rolling until it is pulled out like or what? Sorry this is going to be a DIY thing and I dont want to fack up my car LOL

 

[BorHor]

The front will be flush. Rear might stick depending on how much you pull. And yeah to pull you pretty much use the fender rolling to pull the fenders out. If you are afraid to do it there are probably plenty of people in your area that can help you out or you can even pay someone that knows what they are doing.

 

[gsxr141]

Here is a 325 lol

yeah, that's not working for me. lol

i have my heart set on running a meaty tire out back. hopefully someone will chime in that has done it. i don't mind rolling and pulling, but i don't want to run overs.

 

[SlimLim]

I've got some 10" +25 fronts. I was what tyre size i should go with. I want a 285/30/18 on it, to match the rears, but i think this might be ambitious. If i pull and roll the front fender to the max, can the front accomodate this size tyre?

The alternative would be a 265/35/18.

Wow 285 is pretty massive on the back let alone the front Nick!!

 

[gsxr141]

+1. lets see some pics and specs of the rear fitment..................please

I'm going to need all the tyre i can get

10" +25 rears as well. Unfortunately the car isn't close to getting those wheels on yet.

 

[gsxr141]

do you know if the wheels and tires fit without and body mods?

 

[Supra NA-T]

he will need a massive roll

 

[spiller]

10+25 will not need a massive roll. It will fit easily with a simple roll and you'll probably get away with a 285/35 Nick. I wouldnt run much more than a 275 on a 10 though, 285 will bulge too much. I would go 275/35 rear and 275/40 front if you have 10s all round.
