Alloys wheel fitment help

[chrisbilling]

Dear All,

 

I want to fit 8.5x 18 et 40 on the Supra, with 225 tyres at front and 245 at back. Will this be inside the wheel arch's or cause problem.

 

Whats sizes are you all running?

 

Thanks

ideally you want a wider rear wheel than the front. (i.e. 9.5j?)

 

the offset isn't terrible but not stock.

 

Tyre wise, your front is ok but i'd consider a 255 on the rear (though the 245 will fit).

 

Shouldn't cause any problems with rubbing etc I don't *think*.

 

Main concern would be that all wheels are the same width

This fitment guide is useful, you can input your sizes.

 

Most of us if buying aftermarket wheels would put wider wheels on the rear just like the stock car as Ian has already mentioned.

 

But if you're set on buying 8.5" front and rear then in my opinion they wouldn't cause you any problems, the best tyre sizes would be (if using 18" wheels).

 

235/40 18 front

 

255/40 18 rear

 

I've also taken into account of the stock tyre diameter so your tyres will fill the arches and your speedo won't be too far out.

 

Best to get more than one or two opinions though.

Thanks for all the advice.

 

Will 9 x 18 ET 40 front

 

10 x 18 ET 40 rear

 

Be too far out from the arch's???

 

My main concern is that the wheels dont come out further than standard

If you go for 10 X 18 et40 rear they will sit 16mm futher out than stock so you should have no problems with fitment.
