Lude Posted May 12, 2010 Share Posted May 12, 2010 im either getting rota GTRs or Rota Torques. im going for 17 x 9. (you can get staggered ones, 9J front, 9.5/J rear, but i think if i stick to 9J all round its easier?) i want the wheels to be flush with the arches, dont want them hidden in there! i have UK brakes, and the car stis quite low as is. which offsets do i need out of these?? ET25 front ET30 Rear ET30 front ET12 rear ET12 ET48 ET30 ET25front ET12 rear ET35 front ET30 rear ET25 ET35 ET20 any suggestions or tips on widths or ETs welcome!

Swampy442 Posted May 12, 2010 Share Posted May 12, 2010 http://www.star.le.ac.uk/edu/Root_folder/et.jpg Lol Staggered widths look alot better, ET 35 f and 30 r should be OK. Id deffo go for Grid drifts though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lude Posted May 12, 2010 Author Share Posted May 12, 2010 Lol Staggered widths look alot better, ET 35 f and 30 r should be OK. ok thanks, why would you have different offsets on the front to the rear then? even if the wheels are both 9J ?? i know the stock wheels are ET50, but they are way in the arch, i need something about 1.5inches more, ET30 will do the job then? or can i go further/less whichever makes them stick out?

Lude Posted May 13, 2010 Author Share Posted May 13, 2010 someone said that if i need to bring it out 1.5inches, thats about 37mm so take away 37mm from ET50 equals ET12 is this correct? or would that really not work on the supra somehow?

pistonbroke Posted May 13, 2010 Share Posted May 13, 2010 (edited) Have a play with this little calculator tool..... http://www.morfed.net/wheel-offset-calculator/ You can see that width has an effect on offset, so there's a fair bit to factor in. And no, ET 12 will not fit Your wheels should really be staggered in width mate, it's not just about offset, the wider rears have an effect on handling that toyota factored into the cars design. Wider rears = more grip and promote understeer to ease control. + Wide rear wheels look Edit to add, your say your car is low, do you intend to modify the arches?, if not, I think you might want to take a look at my garage. My car is low, has 10" rears with 43 offset. It sits literally 2mm from the lip of the arch, I get no rubbing at all. Any more aggressive on the offset with a low stance will require arch fettling.
