Looking forward to seeing this, what are you doing about the wheels?

 

Ideally I want new wheels. I have 3 options...

 

1) Drive around with 25mm spacers on the front and 45 mm on the back. Obviously not ideal, but this is what I will probably have to do for he first month or so until I can get a bit of cash together.

 

2) Buy new wheels. Those ones Jurgen posted up the other day can be had in Supra fitment and the offset I would need for £3500. Although I love the wheels on the car at the minute, it is what makes the car stand out so much and I wouldn't really want to get rid for wheels that I don't like, just so they were the right offset. I could probably sell my wheels for £1800 - £2000 as they are now discontiniued in Japan...

 

3) I have found that they did the 19" GT-V 10.5J in a -15 offset or -5 which should give and extra 51mm or 41mm width on the rear. If I could get my hands on a set for the rear I wouldn't really mind running 25mm spacers on the front, as I don't really arse the car around corners (it scares me lol), just in a straight line. As said above though they have been discontinued so have been emailing different wheel places to see if they have the right offset in them. I could then sell the rears for a couple of hundred quid each to recoup some money. They cost about £600 per rim so would cost £1200+ to get the rears right.

 

I'm a fussy bugger when it comes to wheels though so will have to think about all options...

I like the GT-04... Think they do my offsets that I need aswell. Kit is 30mm wider at the front and 50mm at the rear. Current offsets are - Fronts - 9.5J +40 and

Rears - 10.5J +36... Thinking I would need fronts 10j +15, rears 11.5j 0 or 12j +5.

 

What do you think of 20" wheels on a supra...? I know handling isn't great but the car only goes fast in a straight line.
