listy Posted August 8, 2012 Share Posted August 8, 2012 Cheers pal, Was thinking 18" alloys what mm can it be lowered with no rubbing ect All depends on offset, width and tyre wall mate to be honest. Nice looking UK you got there too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shaz2010 Posted August 8, 2012 Author Share Posted August 8, 2012 All depends on offset, width and tyre wall mate to be honest. Nice looking UK you got there too Cheers I will have a look on the Internet see if any appeal to me and I will post the spec to see if anyone will know weather they will fit or not. Having the uk big breaks and all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
listy Posted August 8, 2012 Share Posted August 8, 2012 Generally people go for 8.5 fronts 9.5/10 rears (widths) I think. 114x5 stud pattern is what you want. And an offset et35. Hope this helps. I'm about to order a set of 8.5 front 9.5 rear, 114x5 et35 to give you some kind of idea what to look for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peter P Posted August 9, 2012 Share Posted August 9, 2012 The dildo's term is the affectionate nickname for the headlight washers mate. I don't think they look that bad personally. If you do change the alloys & bumper, I'd keep the originals in storage mate. Not many of these UK spec models around, so worth preserving the originality. Best of luck with it though, looks very tidy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NathWraith Posted August 9, 2012 Share Posted August 9, 2012 Ha a was just looking on eBay last night for these cheers pal are they the ones that replace with no modding . Yes mate, the side repeaters just clip off. However the bulb inside is just a clear bulb which shines ornage because of the ornage casing. So those silver amber flashing bulbs look awesome as they flash amber but look nice and clean with no "fried egg" look. Can be done in under 5 minutes LoL what's with the "dildos" comment had that loads. Even off me friends. Ha a might have to invest in a new bumper but a like the original :-/ Man I get the same. Considering a new bumper at some point but UK specs are rare so I don't want to remove one of the extra features. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just ordered the side repeaters they definitely will look better than stock ones Yeah if I do upgrade the bumper it will just go in garage.

shaz2010 Posted October 22, 2012 Author Share Posted October 22, 2012 I'm on the hunt for some new alloys I went to revolution (gateshead) and had a look around! Not a lot that I like but these caught my eye, http://flic.kr/p/dmXnhB Either these or the gloss black team dynamics pro race 1.2! Both are staggered 18" in size and 9" on the back and 8" on the front. What do you's think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DaveR Posted October 22, 2012 Share Posted October 22, 2012 Nice looking car, matey. DEFINITELY needs lowering a touch, I reckon. Be bold on the wheels - 10" rear, 9" front. They'll fit with no issues with the right offset. Check out the Rota range - they were practically MADE for the Supra! Edit: Just looked at your photo and you're way ahead of me! Good call!

j_jza80 Posted October 22, 2012 Share Posted October 22, 2012 If you want multi spoke 18s, I'd look for a cheapish set of the GS300 sport/TTE wheels and get them refurb'd in gunmetal. They're the correct size and offset. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
