Lebsteif Posted February 26, 2008 Share Posted February 26, 2008 Will they suit a non widebody supra? or will they stick out? Email the company where you bought them from, perhaps they take them back? (or perhaps with a small loss) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamieP Posted February 26, 2008 Share Posted February 26, 2008 Dont wont to use spacers rather get correct size You have answered your own question in that case, get the correct size:) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaz Walker Posted February 26, 2008 Share Posted February 26, 2008 So you've ordered them and now you have them you realised they dont fit? Who did you order them from? My guess is they will have stated these are special order items. The rear wheels will fit a stock car nicely (good size and offset) but the fronts, like you said are too low an offset to clear brakes. Gaz.

If they were recommended for the widebody kit then you would have recourse, if you screwed up it might be very difficult to get your money back.

merckx Posted February 26, 2008 Share Posted February 26, 2008 You haven't said how far they need to come out to fit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michel lane Posted February 26, 2008 Share Posted February 26, 2008 Did you order these offsets ?? or were they recommended. I would not have selected face 2 for that offset. i have ordered another set for my car but in 18 inch, 11 inch rear and 9.5 front. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jellybean Posted February 26, 2008 Author Share Posted February 26, 2008 the offsets where recommend by the company in japan since the car was there with them and there experience with jap car taught they would know but they are a made to order wheel, I have mailed them with my disappointment to say it polity ant from them to suggest resolution but after spending all that money and to use spacers is ridiculous Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
