Caesard Posted November 29, 2012 Share Posted November 29, 2012 Hi fellas, I have a chance to buy the above rotas for about a grand with tires and all, and was wondering if it will be too wide for my stock tt body. Been after a set for long, and even if too wide, will it affect handling until I get together enough money to go wide arch or wide bodied. Trying to get my pj to look right with the exact stuff I need, even if it takes me a long time to get there. Can I put them on stock bilsteins, as if I get the wheels this Xmas, am effectively without any other money to spend on the supe until next year. Also will they clear UK brakes? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jamesy Posted November 29, 2012 Share Posted November 29, 2012 yes way to wide as im sure the 18x12 only comes in a 0 offset = mega wideboy needed. kick-ass wheels though,. can you confirm the offsets? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caineoo Posted November 29, 2012 Share Posted November 29, 2012 Yeah they clear uk brakes.. They are bloody wide mate!!! Think you can get them in et 20 jamesy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Parry_10 Posted November 29, 2012 Share Posted November 29, 2012 Had them on my old supra with vs arches rears et20 no chance you could use them on a stock body. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caesard Posted November 29, 2012 Author Share Posted November 29, 2012 Yes they are et 20. I know they are bloody wide, but can I get away with running them on stock body for about a month until the car goes into the bodyshop? Will overfenders do, or do I need proper widearch kit. And can 10" fit stock fronts? As I like the stock look. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jamesy Posted November 29, 2012 Share Posted November 29, 2012 my old Work wheels were 18x11 and 24 offset - i needed to flare the arches around 25mm to fit them. these are going to be an inch wider but 4mm offset.... so in total that will be 16.5mm FURTHER out than mine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jim Posted November 29, 2012 Share Posted November 29, 2012 They are beautiful wheels, and really suit a Supra I'm just not sure I could pay a grand for a set of rota's, especially when you can pick up a set of second hand Work/SSR's for similar money. Don't get me wrong, I've rota's on mine and I like them lots, but I bought them because they were a lot cheaper than the SSR's Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nic Posted November 29, 2012 Share Posted November 29, 2012 These Enkei wheels on Dirftworks are good quality and would fit a Supra. http://www.driftworks.com/forum/wheels-tyres-sale-private-sales/190149-mint-enkei-circlar-gta-18-lightweight-desirable-rims-450-a.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perry you hearing this, a £1000 mate! Lol Im joking bud there nice wheels. Lol yours are the only set in hyper black in those sizes and offsets though rota can't get them I brought them brand new from rota had them sent to ibrar and paid him to do them so trust me you got a very good deal mate:) also glued on arches will be no good you need to trim the stock arch and re strengthen it. So in answer to the ops question no you won't be able to use them on a stock body what so ever. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Caesard Posted November 29, 2012 Author Share Posted November 29, 2012 Okay, well can't get into doing a wide body supe to accommodate the wheels at the moment. Was hoping to run it stock till January. Must now look for new wheels. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
