supra_aero Posted December 21, 2008 Share Posted December 21, 2008 I am 99% certain they will fit the supra, but can some one confirm? Front 18 8J 38 Rear 18 9J 45 Additionally when I collect them - will they physically fit IN a supra? The 4 wheels have tyres on them. Thanks for your help as usual Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supra_aero Posted December 21, 2008 Author Share Posted December 21, 2008 These are the wheels I am hopefully collecting. This is how it'll look on the supe (only supe I could find with this wheel fitted was from Paul Whiffin's cars for sale section - hope you don't mind Paul). I think this looks the nuts.

dani_r Posted December 21, 2008 Share Posted December 21, 2008 I will be amazed if you get 4 wheels with tyres in a Supra. But saying that I've never tried it! You might prove me wrong;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AndrewOW Posted December 21, 2008 Share Posted December 21, 2008 Three in with rear seats down, and one in the passenger seat, I'd thought. It will be a real squeeze though. Maybe worth deflating the tyres as much as possible to help them squeeze in Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

superpaulwilson Posted December 21, 2008 Share Posted December 21, 2008 I managed without many problems but they didn't have tyres on. would have thought you would still do it tho Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hoff Posted December 21, 2008 Share Posted December 21, 2008 (edited) Nice wheels these Charles:) My mate has them on his Silvia. Nice and aggressive, classy and clean lines:) Size wise, OEM are 8 x 17 and 9.5 x 17 with -50 offasets. So the rears may be a little narrow but the offset will compensate for it I should of thought. Dont quote me on that though:) Edited December 21, 2008 by hoff (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supra_aero Posted December 21, 2008 Author Share Posted December 21, 2008 Thanks Adam. Can't wait to unveil the car when its all kitted up and finished. Hopefully be finished next week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guigsy Posted December 21, 2008 Share Posted December 21, 2008 its easy. ive done it loads. Remove the spare and put on in there. then fold the seats down. you can get 2 in there. then another on the passenger seat. You wont get 3 in the back compartment without removing the spare.

Now all I need is someone to confirm they'll fit on the car in this spec'd sizes.. Front 18 8J 38 Rear 18 9J 45 I should've checked before committing to buying them really .

Cheers - I'll have to take out my sub build then, but that shouldn't cause too many troubles given I fitted it myself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scott Posted December 21, 2008 Share Posted December 21, 2008 Doesn't matter what size the wheels are the overall size including the tyres should always be the same. 16", 17", 18" or 19" should have the appropriate tirewall size to give the same rolling radius. I can't see you having much trouble at all really. As long as you don't need to have a passenger as well it should be easy. I would do it exactly like guigsy says and move the passenger seat as far forward as you can. I would recommend putting the seatbelt on the one in the front seat also lol.

Pot Posted December 21, 2008 Share Posted December 21, 2008 How about fitting the new wheels when you get them, and then stick the old smaller ones (I'm presuming they're smaller) in the car? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good idea but knowing non-mechanical me I'll end up damaging something. I'll see if the guy I am getting them off can lend a hand though - thanks for the good thinking.

ellis Posted December 21, 2008 Share Posted December 21, 2008 I've done all 4 in a Supe with tyres on and the spare in. Just let all the 4 tyres down, fold the seats down and they will go in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott Posted December 21, 2008 Share Posted December 21, 2008 Why would the wheels be smaller? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DamanC Posted December 21, 2008 Share Posted December 21, 2008 I have had 4 stock wheels with tyres and the spare in a sup with a 6ft 8" passenger You should be fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
