Jamesy Posted July 15, 2010 Share Posted July 15, 2010 Have found a great set of wheels - 3 piece deep dish in 18x9 and 18x11. Now just as i got my head around the whole width, offset, sizes etc....the 3 peice wheel also have a "disk" measurement - this determins how much brake clearance you have. The 3 main options are: Standard Disk (A Disk) Deep Rim Disk (0 Disk) Big Caliper Disk (R Disc) Does anyone know what they mean? im guessing the R disc is the best to clear the UK brakes but the ones ive seen are 0 disk. is the 0 disk the middle ones and A disk the ones that wont clear brakes well? any advice asap greatly appricated.

JamieP Posted July 15, 2010 Share Posted July 15, 2010 Deep rim disk would give the least clearance id have thought, bigger the wheels rim the less clearance you will have, Nic will be the best person to ask i think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nic Posted July 15, 2010 Share Posted July 15, 2010 What wheels are they? The disk refers to the shape of the spokes and the dish of the wheel, this varies from wheel to wheel. Most Japanese brands will specify the size, offset and disk to suit the Supra, any decent trader should be able to advise what you need. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jamesy Posted July 15, 2010 Author Share Posted July 15, 2010 Here's they're main chart: http://www.upgrademotoring.com/wheels/work_vsxx.htm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lee P Posted July 15, 2010 Share Posted July 15, 2010 0 disk will give you the least clearence for brakes, normally you would have this on the back of the car where brake clearence is not as important but a big dish is. On the front you would want the R disk ( high Disk) which would give you less of a dish but more clearence for big calipers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
