RobSheffield Posted June 9, 2005 Share Posted June 9, 2005 hi folks, no way is searchin gonna find this, despite trying for 20 minutes with different terms! 10" wheel on front? can it be done, does it rub wings when turning?? does it kill steering pump/rack? does it ruin handling? would 8.5" be better? secondly, 11" wheel on rear? can it be done, does it rub wings? can wings be rolled? if so where?! thanks folks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terminator Posted June 9, 2005 Share Posted June 9, 2005 It will tramline like a barge. I run 9's up front with 245 and it is OK Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nic Posted June 9, 2005 Share Posted June 9, 2005 Rob, as T says it's not going to have a good effect on the handling, really depends what you want the car for though, looks or performance. I suspect that 10" fronts will catch on the inner wing when turning, it'll be possible to make them fit but is it worth it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bobbeh Posted June 9, 2005 Share Posted June 9, 2005 I think your fronts are too small t 8.5 if you're gonna be running 10/11 inches at the back! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobSheffield Posted June 9, 2005 Author Share Posted June 9, 2005 I think your fronts are too small t 8.5 if you're gonna be running 10/11 inches at the back! thats what i was thinking....bleedin CCW, sort yerselves out!! how will the size difference manifest itself? more rear grip than fornt i know, but what will i feel, what will go wrong? anyone know about arch rolling? where in UK is it done?

Dale B Posted June 9, 2005 Share Posted June 9, 2005 Ive got 10's front and 12 rears. I do get occasional rub when on full lock. Like Term says ... it does tramline but thats something you just get used to....I have Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bobbeh Posted June 10, 2005 Share Posted June 10, 2005 If your front wheel is too small you'll suffer understeer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest El Cid Posted June 10, 2005 Share Posted June 10, 2005 This very handy guide should help... just plug in the numbers you want (width, diameter, offset). http://www.supraforums.com/forum/showthread.php?t=12049 The wheels I just bought are 18x9 front and 18x11 rear. For the rears I had to roll the fender lips and hammer the inner frame rail to avoid rubbing/cutting. For the fronts I had to remove the top screw inside the fender lips. I already had Tein HAs on the car (I think the OEM struts are too wide for those sizes). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobSheffield Posted June 10, 2005 Author Share Posted June 10, 2005 thanks ElCid, its on HKS Hipers, and i think is lowered (cant get my hand between the rear tyre and the arch lip!) anyone know a decent place that can roll my arches?

Markie Posted June 10, 2005 Share Posted June 10, 2005 Sorry to tag onto this.. But are 19x9 fronts with 275/35/19 tyres and 19x10 with 305/35/19 tyres totally not a good idea? Just after input off some wheel experts please PS. 19's biggest for no work done to arches etc? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest El Cid Posted June 11, 2005 Share Posted June 11, 2005 Markie, There are plenty of folks here running 19s. CCW sells 19x10 front and 19x11 rears as their "regular" Supra setup. As for rubbing and worrying about the arches, that is more a function of how low the car is and how wide the wheels are. Try plugging your #s into the link I provided a couple posts up and see what it tells you. It's a very thorough guide and widely used with great success.
