following the above guidelines, here are the measurements:

 

REAR WHEEL

 

Rim width (from one inner edge to the other) = 13 [inches] (not needed for calculating the offset)

Wheel width (from one outer edge to the other) = 13.9 (or) 14 [inches]

Wheel backspace = 6 [inches]

Wheel centre line (width divided by 2) = 6.95 (13.9/2) [or] 7 (14/2) [inches]

 

offset = 6 (backspace) - 6.95 (wheel centre line) = -0.95 inches (-24mm)

 

OR

 

offsent = 6 (backspace) - 7 (wheel centre line) = -1 inches (-25mm)

FRONT WHEEL

 

Rim width (from one inner edge to the other) = 11 [inches] (not needed for calculating the offset)

Wheel width (from one outer edge to the other) = 11.9 (or) 12 [inches]

Wheel backspace = 4.6 [inches]

Wheel centre line (wheel width divided by 2) = 5.95 (11.9/2) [or] 6 (12/2) [inches]

 

offset = 4.6 (backspace) - 5.95 (wheel centre line) = -1.35 inches (-35mm)

 

OR

 

offsent = 4.6 (backspace) - 6 (wheel centre line) = -1.4 inches (-36mm)

can you measure the rims from the face where they bolt to the hub to the outer edge of the rim, i have 5.5 inches from hub to arch edge rear, 4.5 inches front. i think -24mm will be 8" from the hub so 62mm further out past the arch !

 

face where they bolt to the hub to the outer edge is called wheel backspace which i'v already measured mate! backspace for rear wheel is 6 inches and front is 4.6 or 4.5 inches! offset = difference between backspace and the wheel centre line (see that link)

Back space is hub to back of wheel, if im reading it right scooby slayer wants to know distance from the hub to front of the wheel which looks a lot more than 6"

 

Thanks for the pm, bit more than i want to spend but if the price lowers let me know. thanks.

your absolutely right mate, o just looked at the pictures the tape measure shows over 6" just for the rim dish, must be 7 - 8" to outer edge will stick out a mile, i cant imagine theres any supra they will fit, maybe more suited to a rx7 ?
