Wheel Fitment & Question Thread

[spiller]

if you run a 9+ 15 up front you absolutely will have to roll the fenders and run camber. im running those very same specs with a 245/40 (in 18s which is irrelevant) and its barely do-able...take a peek

you'll have no chance with a 255.

a 10+25 on the rear will need a roll with a 275/35 also, im running 10 +22 (275/35) and here's how it sits

 

[Trini got a Mk3]

hey think 18x10 +25 offset in the rear and 18x8.5 +30 offset in front would fit on a mk3 flush. or would a +40 offset be good for the front. also tires are 275/35/18 rear, 235/40/18. supra has eibach lowering springs. wats a good offset for the rear b/c i saw the +22 offset with the same tire size don't do so good. i really not looking to stick of out roll fenders.... b/c now i have 18x9.5 rear and 8.5 in front and it fits good with +35 offset all around but i want to put 18x10 in the back since my gurl is getting my rims so i need no ones..lol

But my car sits higher than yours and my suspension doesn't have that much travel. So wouldn't I be safe anyways?

 

[spiller]

^^ no, instead you'll have a 4x4 because the wheels will hang out even more due to a lack of camber.

...here are 17"x10 +12 with 255/40 on the rear. Lowered on Eibach Pro's, no fender rolling, no rubbing, small negative camber.

This is the look I want to go for. This Supra has about the same height as my car. Maybe with the +25 offset and if I use my 255 tires for the rear, it would work out ok. Still need to figure out the front. Perhaps the 17x9 +15 with my 235/45 tires and a fender role would be suffice.

picked up a pair of new rims today. 17x9.5 +35. could anyone tell me if they will foul on the control arms, or anything else on the inner guards for that matter. i know a 16x8 +50 mk4 rims wont and my rims have another 5mm Less clearance on the inside so not sure if that will be offset by the larger diameter which i know will help - but not sure if enough

cheers


pics of rims for interests sake

I found a nice set of Wed's kranze but they have a real low offset:
F 19 x 8.5J offset +5mm
R 19 x 9.5J offset +8mm

Would it fit?

Or will i be better of with looking for a set 10J with a +30 offset?

 

[SupraOfDoom]

I have a problem. Good deal on some wheels locally for sale, but the offset is unknown.

The wheels are 17x9 front, 17x10 rear, with some beefy ass tires on them.

Tire size:

What they look like on a MKIV:

What are the chances of them clearing on a MK3 since I'm not too familiar with how much different the mk4 and mk3's are with offsets?

9.5+35 up front...if your car is low, will require a fender roll.

They'll fit.

They'll fit.

So if it fits a Mk4, offset wise, it fits a Mk3? Just for clarification... I've already got a good idea of what I'm doing with the back end of mine

 

[a70Derek]

whats the biggest offset i could go on a 10" wheel with a rolled fender?
or could i go 18x10 with +25 offset?

Generally speaking, yes. If it will fit an MK4, it will fit an MK3.

10"+25 will fit.

What's the lowest offset you could go? It will depend on the wheel width, tire width, camber, and ride height.

Hey spiller- so you think that you'd have an extra 20-24mm of inner clearance available? ha... got my eye on something thats 18x10 +21front n18x11 +26rear. should work alright with a little bit of massaging. i hope haha

 

[HIDPLANET]

Depends on what tire size you are looking to run as well.
I recently installed spacers on my 18x10+30 (front) and 18x10+24 (rear) essentially making them +15 and +14 respectively. Fit is close and visually looks how I want them but the rears are very close since I have a moderate fender roll and the fronts should be rolled more to clear without worry of hitting those annoying tabs.

Tire size is 235/40 and 245/40

 

[spiller]

Fair bit of work to make those fit. Interested to see how they go!

 

[SupraJDS]

I'm installing my version 1 ichiba spacers this week (Comes with spacers and studs).. anyone know how difficult they are to install/ any pointers?

Thanks

 

[HIDPLANET]

Very simple to install. I recently installed a set of 4 Project Kics spacers and its as easy as removing your wheels, mounting the spacer, torque it down to spec with the special lug nuts, mount wheel and torque with standard lug nuts. Ive heard Ichiba tend to vibrate so for the first few days pay close attention to any vibrations coming from the wheels.

---------- Post added at 08:12 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:08 AM ----------

Oh I didnt see that you said Version ONE spacers.
With these, you will have to get your old studs pressed out and the new longer studs pressed in. Once that is done, you just splace the spacer on and then the wheel then torque the lug nuts.

 

[SupraJDS]

Yeah I figured I'd have to get them pressed out and just wanted to make sure

 

[SupraMadness]

Im gona be going 17x9.5 +15 all around on some 235/45. Not sure if it'll fill my wheel gap tho. Lol. If it dont i should just get coilovers. Haha.

 

[scotty]

Hey. Got an offer on some super cheap 19x8 offset 45 rims, how will these fit on my supra? The car is not lowered. Will they bolt on with no mods needed? Got no clue about rims etc so any help is appreciated!
