Gpro Posted May 31, 2012 Share Posted May 31, 2012 Hi, I have 17"X8.5 alloys on my supra and i measured them they have 380mm clearance. would that be enough to cover UK brakes? i will use spacers if needed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tyson Posted May 31, 2012 Share Posted May 31, 2012 What is the ofset ? Better still do you have pictures or the name of the wheels? The spoke design will affect wether you can run UK's or not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What is the 380mm clearance? measured from where to where? Clearance issues tend to be between the outer face of the front 4pot calipers and the rear face of the wheel spokes. Fitment will depend on the wheel design, width and offset, post up pics of the wheels and what offsets they are and we can go from there.

Gpro Posted May 31, 2012 Author Share Posted May 31, 2012 380mm is the inside diameter of the rim and i aint sure of the offset i attached some pictures of the rim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gpro Posted May 31, 2012 Author Share Posted May 31, 2012 theirs about a 40-50mm gap between the j-spec calipers and the rim spokes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noz Posted May 31, 2012 Share Posted May 31, 2012 ouch, your rims have been curb-attacked. if there is any issues with fitting the UK brakes, I wouldn't of thought you were need huge spacers looking at your clearance with J Specs. Though I think your referring to the inner edge of the wheel itself? could do with a few different photos as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
