Mk4 N/A wheel offset too tucked in to look good?

[Angry7M]

I just purchased some N/A Mk4 wheels, I was looking at the specs on them and found out the Off set is +50mm. The stock sawblades offset is +35mm I believe.

I dont know much about this. But I believe that with that kind of offset the Mk4 wheels will look more tucked in? If so, does anyone if they looked like their too tucked in?

Do people usually use spacers on them? or?

Actually now that I want to find pictures with Mk4 N/A wheels, I cant seem to find much. Thanks

Yea purchase some wheel spacers or those project kicks spacers would be a safer alternative. I think I used 10mm spacers in the front, none for the rear. With out spacers the inside of the rim will rub the control arm on full lock when turning.

My car.

You can stop it touching the control arm by adjusting the lock stops, these are on the bottom of the Hub,

I didnt know they would rub at full turn.

Right now im a little more concerned abou the offset, I know these mk4 wheels are wider then stock. But would the mk4 front or rear wheels look more tucked in then the stock sawblades?


And also where can I buy 10mm spacers for my supra? Thanks for the replys.

they are 1" wider and +50 the outside edge will be at the same position vs sawblades and the extra inch will be on the inside.

i never had a rubbing issue.

Ebay has them for pretty cheap. You should know that you're only gonna get the lugs on about 8 full turns. This bugged the hell out of me but I drove anyways with no issues. From what I heard(SCCA I believe) 6 full turns is the least amount to drive their course. Check to see if the wheels rub first before buying spacers though, you may not need them. I guess others just get lucky with their MKIV wheels not rubbing, I didn't.

In the front, yes they do look too tucked if you don't use a spacer.
