Wheel fitting questions

Recommended Posts

If possible would someone be able to help me and let me know if these will fill out the archs of my supra without having to roll them.

 

The car is currently on stock suspension but will be lowered by 3.2cm front and 2.0 cm rear by tein springs soon.

 

the wheels info are the following

 

SIZE 17"

FRONTS 8X17

REARS 9X17

OFFSET 38

 

 

new set in question-

 

8.5j et38 fronts

10j et38 rears

 

i know these question get asked allot so sorry but i cant get my head around the offset calculators.

i have 9J on the back with ET25

 

fit fine, come out to the arch, could do with a bit more tho, i was going to go ET12, but people said it woudnt fit, i wish i did now tho as im sure it would have with a 9J.

 

have some practise learning how offsets work, then you can measure the gap from the wheel to the arch and calculate the offset required :)

no mate didnt need to roll the arches,

 

i did actually cut the back arches, as i was worried they would, but it wasnt necessary at all as there is still plenty of space.

 

the wheels are great on the front, i personally think they could come out a little further in the rear tho.

 

depends on how much of a perfectionist you are with 'stance'

 

 

PS yes the car in my garage is the one yea :)
