Guest Jaycee Posted October 13, 2010 Share Posted October 13, 2010 So, I have a set of tires: 235/40/18 in the front and 275/35/18 in the back. I've been advised to get 18x8.5 in the front and 18x9.5 in the back. Is that a good fit? Also, I don't know what the offset needs to be. So if anybody can help me out with that it would be great. I know the bolt pattern is 5x114.3 I'm also looking into getting a set of winter wheels and tires. Would 16x7 wheels and 225/50-16 tires be an ok size all the way around?

comorin219 Posted October 13, 2010 Share Posted October 13, 2010 I have that size on my car fronts are 8j offset 35 rears 9j offset 38, not sure about your winter selection though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jamesy Posted October 13, 2010 Share Posted October 13, 2010 a good size for a supra in your widths would be: front 18x8.5 - offset 35 rear 18x9.5 - offset 35 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
comorin219 Posted October 13, 2010 Share Posted October 13, 2010 My car is JDM, offset could be different depends where your car was made for Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jamesy Posted October 13, 2010 Share Posted October 13, 2010 My car is JDM, offset could be different depends where your car was made for Not heard that one before mate between Jspec and Uk's ..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
comorin219 Posted October 13, 2010 Share Posted October 13, 2010 when i ordered some new wheels shop said if i had UK spec i would need bigger offset Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamieP Posted October 13, 2010 Share Posted October 13, 2010 I keep wondering if there is different track widths on supras as sometimes wheels dont fit certain supras as id expect, i put some facelift 17's on a prefaclift supra and they sat in a lot more than i expected. Them wheels on jamesy's car sit out further than id expect for the widths/offsets, same with dandans facelift car, keep thinking facelifts have a wider track, i know the arms are different part numbers.

Jamesy Posted October 13, 2010 Share Posted October 13, 2010 Yeah mine are 18x8.5 +22 offset 18x9.5 +22 offset these needed the arches rolling but the offsets are quite low i guess? maybe your right J? never heard of it before and certainly dont think its a Jspec v Uk thing, possibly Facelift v Pre facelift though?

I have prefacelift suspension arms on mine now though The different part numbers are due to the bush material changing to a softer option on the later cars. When I replaced everything I went with the stiffer option Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thorin Posted October 13, 2010 Share Posted October 13, 2010 If you've the larger brakes then 16" wheels might not fit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alex2jz Posted October 13, 2010 Share Posted October 13, 2010 Sorry to post this here but it's not worth starting a new thread for it and it's somewhat related... How big of a mistake is getting 245/40/18 tyres for the fronts (8.5J rim) (stock suspension) ? Is there a risk of rubbing at full lock or something ? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jamesy Posted October 13, 2010 Share Posted October 13, 2010 i have 245 with a 18x8.5 rim and it rubs a bit on big bumps. but my car is on coilovers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nic Posted October 13, 2010 Share Posted October 13, 2010 So, I have a set of tires: 235/40/18 in the front and 275/35/18 in the back.

I know the bolt pattern is 5x114.3 I'm also looking into getting a set of winter wheels and tires. Would 16x7 wheels and 225/50-16 tires be an ok size all the way around? I would go either: 18x8.5 (offset anywhere between +50 to +35) 18x9.5 (offset anywhere between +50 to +35) or 18x9 (offset anywhere between +50 to +35) 18x10 (offset anywhere between +50 to +35) What brakes do you have fitted? The Supra came with 2 options the smaller 2pot front/1pot rear or the larger 4pot front/2pot rear. If you have the larger brakes you will need to make sure that the wheels will clear the larger calipers. The problem is usually with the 4pot front calipers, they are quite wide and need clearance between the front face of the caliper and the back of the spokes. The winter wheels you mention are too narrow, I would fit a set of standard Supra wheels. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jamesy Posted October 13, 2010 Share Posted October 13, 2010 Nic, have u ever heard of facelift/pre facelift supras taking different widths and offsets?? As per jamies question on page 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nic Posted October 13, 2010 Share Posted October 13, 2010 Nic, have u ever heard of facelift/pre facelift supras taking different widths and offsets?? As per jamies question on page 1 No everything I've read and seen says they were the same, just the centre cap change on the facelift. Also the US Supras came with different wheel finish options. Checking the part number on the EPC would be the best way of finding out, but I don't have a copy on this machine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
