Wheel Fitment & Question Thread

[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

I just fitted 25mm bolt-on spacers to 17x8 +45 on the front of the supra making it 17x8 +20.
The problem is I now get shuddering/vibration above 80km/h (50mph). Do you guys reckon an alignment would solve this issue or is it something more sinister?

were the spacers hubcentric?

The centers are flat, so I'm assuming they're not hubcentric....

The wheels are prolly not centered.

Some quality spacers.

Thanks man but is there a way to make the ones I've got work properly?

 

[hvyman]

Post some pics of the ones you have. Or a link.

These aren't them but the centers are the same. Just flat.

what will end up fitting/looking better out of these 3 options?

1) have rear wheels split and welded 2-2.5 inches wider making them 17x11 or 17x11.5 don't know what offset it will make them. but its only $150 per wheel + shipping.
2) order replica 17x10.5 svt rims with a 27 offset
3) order replica FR500 17X10.5 same 27 offset but with deep dish lip. sexy, yet inexpensive.


this is the look im after...

stock tt mkiv rims with 2inches added to them. 17x11.5in end of story

on 275

winter sucks^

on 315

stance is off due to motor being pulled...

 

[gsxr141]

those 315's stick out too far. is there any room on the inside for a better offset wheel? i'm looking at the fr500 wheels, but i really don't think a 315 will fit under mk3 fenders. somebody please prove me wrong. lol

 

[winsauce]

Hope zach doesn't me offering his opinion.

11.5 will be tough to fit. I rolled my fenders flat and am almost touching the trailing arm, shock and fender at 11 inches wide. My wheels were 9.5 and were widened to 11, I moved them flush with adapter spacers. Dunno the original offset or spacer width, just experimented. Here are some pics with 315/35/17's, speedo is not that far off.

love that car. i was going to run slicks and skinnies, but i think i want a setup like his. i just want to get the widest tire i can under there.
thanks for the pic.

Does anyone here run CCWs on their MK3? I'm intrigued to know what the widest we can fit on the rear. I'm thinking 11.5inch rear and 10inch front. I've done some searches for CCW in the search engine but nothing comes up.

What would have to be done to run a 18x10.5 +20 in the rears?

You will have to roll or pull. The amount you roll or pull will determine how much tire you can fit. With just a good roll you can do maybe 265 (which will be slightly stretched) in the rear and if you pull you can go larger.

Any one have an answer on these? Looking at picking up varrstoens in full polish only sizes offered. I can go full polish on the others but that = custom finish = more money LOL.

 

[BorHor]

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.

 

[ANBUryan]

Just thought i'd share:
MB Battles 18x9.5 +23? 245/40 nittos all around

i think i want to get 15mm for the back and 10mms for the front.

 

[gsxr141]

i wonder how 265-35's would look out back. they are the perfect size for the rim, and might come right to the fender.
still looks great though.

19x10.5 test fitment. Some work on the wheel arch and it will be pretty sweet.
