Scutch0 Posted January 8, 2013 Share Posted January 8, 2013 I'm looking at getting some wheels and I'm not sure if they're going to fit under my stock arches? Width rear 9.5 et30 front 8.5 et35 And they have 225/40/18 on the front and 255/35/18 on the back a little stretch all round I believe Car is at stock ride height Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scutch0 Posted January 8, 2013 Author Share Posted January 8, 2013 Superb! Many thanks, I was thinking I was going to have to get the arches rolled! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Josh42 Posted January 8, 2013 Share Posted January 8, 2013 They'll sit like this on the rear.... So just watch if you decide to get coilovers as you will have to have the arches rolled/cut out:) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scutch0 Posted May 5, 2013 Author Share Posted May 5, 2013 Sorry to bring back a thread from the dead... I've fitted my new wheels and in not sure if I might need to roll the arches slightly, as it looks quite tight! Before with my old wheels Now And a closer few pics What do we think? A pal of mine has a proper arch roller, but I'm still worried about doing it if I won't need to? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris_k Posted May 5, 2013 Share Posted May 5, 2013 I'd say you don't need to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
letmeshowyou Posted May 6, 2013 Share Posted May 6, 2013 That's really close! try running that side up over a brick to see how close it really is with suspension travel? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
listy Posted May 6, 2013 Share Posted May 6, 2013 Depends on how your suspension is set up too. Mine are like that, but don't rub at all. You should be fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rich.2211 Posted May 6, 2013 Share Posted May 6, 2013 As the suspension compresses and the wheel goes up in the arch it will develop a natural camber and probably clear okay, The best way to check would be to drop the suspension struts off and raise the wheel yourself to see if it will catch If you do end up rolling the arches, be careful of the 50p effect that can happen on the rear due to the spot welds.

Josh42 Posted May 6, 2013 Share Posted May 6, 2013 As above, I've had no issues with rubbing on mine at all. Easiest way would be to get the car on axle stands and jack the wheel up to see if it clears:thumbs: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scutch0 Posted May 6, 2013 Author Share Posted May 6, 2013 Thanks guys, I think I'm gonna try jacking it up and trying it out, I need to tax her before I can properly try it out though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chris0132 Posted May 6, 2013 Share Posted May 6, 2013 You'll be fine with natural camber my wheels stuck out loads til I lowered it here's a before and after I know it's not a supra but it should be similar Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
