Wheel thread (again)

[KeithH]

Help me out... post pics of your wheels, their fitment, offsets and size/width. I can't believe there not 1 single thread that shows 'em all.

What would be most beneficial would be measurements to the suspension and fender rubbing. That way you could plug in the measurement/offset for any wheel and width/sidewall of any tire and find out if it would rub somewhere.

You'd need different measurements based on stock height and average lowered height.

Could also do a flash animation thing so that you could see how far out the rims/tires would stick at different offsets.

That would eliminate the need for pictures of a Supra at different heights with an infinite # of rim/tire combination.

Actually - I'm sure someone could make a flash animation where you could select what suspension is on the car - taking into account only the rated drop (no spring sag for tired setups could be included). Then you choose what rim size/offset and tire size. You could even go crazy enough to throw in an option to roll the fenders.

Be warned however that there are an infinite # of combinations here. This would still take care of the majority.

Here ya go Elvis, just two pics of mine

18 x 8.5 & 9.5 +35 on both IIRC


on the right:


ps. I'm selling them soon

^^ There's an MKIV fitment guide that does all that (in Excel format). I never did get around to looking at the formulas used and getting the MA70 measurements to plug in.

Dang Jon,
Wow! That's the fitment I'm talking about! What sized tires are on there? What suspension is on there?

 

[GotTurbos?]

Stock shocks, Intrax lowering springs, 245 35 18 front, 275 35 18 rear.

Any rubbing in the front? I'd be REALLY suprised if not. Intrax and Suspension Techniques springs seem to sit lower than the Eibachs I use. I am probably gonna go with a split 5-star style tho... when R U selling...?

 

[GotTurbos?]

No rubbing at all, not even full lock in a parking lot or anything. My wheels are on chris' car right now, we're too lazy to take them back off. My car is off getting the roll cage, and my car has chris' sawblades on it... lol. I have to wait to get my car back, then get the wheels back from Chris, then I'd be ready to sell anytime.

Anyone know about how a 17x10 +45 wheels will fit?

Sorry for the light thread Hijack, but do you guys running large wheels have to pay a lot more for tires than compared to say a set of 16's?

about $150 mounted and balanced;Nitto NT555's

 

[supraman7mgte]

EACH!!

 

[GotTurbos?]

Yup, you're lucky you got drag radials, My kumho ecsta MX's were like 512 for the two rear tires, and my car wore them out in like 4-5k miles. I'm pretty sure if you average that out, my cost for tires per mile is close my cost for gas.

 

[Satan]

^^ What size tires are those 18's (fronts & rears)?

 

[Satan]

FYI... Just bought these. Not necessarily "exactly" what I was looking for, but fo rthe $$, they'll be just fine.

Jon,
Tell me the size of them tires you have on your wheels... they fit great!
