Hi, i have LS400 front brakes and 18 inch rims, I recently got run off the road and my rear wheel is bin fodder, I want another set of 18's but I dont know what offsets and wheel widths I need. Due to a recent development (DNA test proved i wasnt a dad, 12months on and after I've bonded with my little girl), i shall have an extra 300 a month to spend on my stuff I want, so please help me......I need ideas....i was thinking Rotas with goodyears....

Width and offset to clear the brake calipers will depend on the design of the wheel. Post up which wheels you are interested in and we can go from there.

 

Usual width would be

 

Front 18x9 (offset between +50 - to +35)

Rear 18x10 (offset between +50 - to +35)

 

or

 

Front 18x8.5 (offset between +50 - to +35)

Rear 18x9.5 (offset between +50 - to +35)

don't ask me, I've bolloxed my recent wheel purchase and made a right hash of it :(

 

The rota range generally have great caliper clearance, whereas ultralites are not so good.

 

Get onto Paul @ whifbitz, he can sort you out. He has a wide range of wheel options for the supra and has knowledge of what fits and what doesn't.

 

Don't buy Linea Corse wheels........they don't fit :(
