Big Mark Posted June 14, 2012 Share Posted June 14, 2012 Hi. I've seen these wheels on ebay and was wondering if anyone knows how well they'd fit Supra? Would they fill the arches nicely without rubbing or not? I think they'd fit without arch work but can't get my head around offsets so not sure how well they would sit. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/330746473282?ssPageName=STRK:MESINDXX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1436.l2649 Off to work now so i'll read any replies when i get home tonight and reply accordingly.

Supranature Posted June 14, 2012 Share Posted June 14, 2012 Slighty more aggressive offset tham stock alloys (et50), so will fill the arches better. Being 19's they will compromise handling though. I would seek further advise regarding the "gouged" one..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colin-mkiv Posted June 14, 2012 Share Posted June 14, 2012 I was looking at those for a future project myself. The damaged one should be repairable, but it depends whether they're aluminium or magnesium based alloy. The rim would need to be built up with weld and then dressed back to match. I can get any type of welding done, but magnesium alloy is a lot more expensive and it'd take a couple of days to get the shape right for the rim. Perfectly do-able though. Offsets and sizes are exactly what I have now, with 275/30's on the rear and 235/35's on the front I have no scrubbing issues whatsoever. My car is only lowered by 20mm in the front with standard rear height and the arches are filled perfectly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The wheels on the pics below are 18x9 +32 & 18x10 +32, the outside edge of the wheels on Ebay would sit 9mm further in in comparison, should fit fine without the arches needing rolling.

The ebay listing says it's magnesium alloy. Any ideas on how much this would cost to repair? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Mark Posted June 14, 2012 Author Share Posted June 14, 2012 Thanks guys for the replies, at least I now know that these will fit and sit very nicely in the arches. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
