DodgyRog Posted March 10, 2013 Share Posted March 10, 2013 Popped up to Steve's (Fearless) today to do a test fit for the wheels from his old Chargespeed Supra I am gutted to say they were just a bit to wide at the rear, but as you will see in the Pic, I really need some deep dish to finish the look of my Supra They would of been refurbed with Black inners, o and excuss the fact that Steve didn't clean them, but he is rather busy on his build at the moment Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

listy Posted March 10, 2013 Share Posted March 10, 2013 They look like pretty wide tyres mate. Would they not fit with a slightly narrower tyre on the rear? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They don't loo too bad narrower tyre and run it . and id say leave them gold , that looks suberb What are the sizes & offsets? I may be interested if you don't take them Rog. That looks They might fit with a stretch tyre on the rear and they need a refurb, so I would of changed the colour at the same time Offset is +4 on 11j for the rear The problem I have, is if they touch on the rear arch I could end up with a big bill due the the Veilside arches being fibreglass The other problem is Steve was going to have my wheels and he has rolled and pulled arches, so he wants them a bit more aggressive than mine fitted on his What wheels did you have before Rog? I must say I don't like the gold ones at all. I have work VS-TX at the moment, but I am having to use 30mm spacer on the rear and 25mm on the front, so want to get some wheels that I can do away with the spacer Edited March 10, 2013 by DodgyRog (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spike3.0 Posted March 10, 2013 Share Posted March 10, 2013 Looked great, shame Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DodgyRog Posted March 10, 2013 Author Share Posted March 10, 2013 This is the only pic that shows it a bit better, I would say I they are about 10mm to far out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Havard Posted March 10, 2013 Share Posted March 10, 2013 Ok then. The answer if to get the gold ones refurbed and have black centres. Would look the nuts IMO..!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
d-_-b Posted March 10, 2013 Share Posted March 10, 2013 Narrower tyre + a tyre with a more 'sloped' sidewall profile and recon those would fit a treat (/jelous) Goodyear Eagle F1 have a sidewall profile that leans inwards. I have a thread somewhere showing what i mean as i was looking for new rear tyres that sloped in like my goodyears did (gives more clearance to the arch - i have VS arches as well). They do look stunning. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DodgyRog Posted March 10, 2013 Author Share Posted March 10, 2013 What is the smallest tyre I can put on an 11 inch rim Sensibly without risking it coming off Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rich.2211 Posted March 10, 2013 Share Posted March 10, 2013 What is the smallest tyre I can put on an 11 inch rim Sensibly without risking it coming off 275, although a 285/295 is recommended. http://www.tyres-pneus-online.co.uk/equivalency-tables-advice.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

James Posted March 10, 2013 Share Posted March 10, 2013 I'm pretty sure that Marc (AB10) has a 265 on his 11J rear Workmeisters. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tooquicktostop Posted March 10, 2013 Share Posted March 10, 2013 I really like your current wheels Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jazz1 Posted March 10, 2013 Share Posted March 10, 2013 I would keep these they look nuts, make coilovers stiff you'll be ok or negative slight camber geometry. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DodgyRog Posted March 10, 2013 Author Share Posted March 10, 2013 (edited) I really like your current wheels I like them too Dean, but I really don't like running large spacers and the fronts always look a bit odd with the brakes miles inside the wheels due to spacing them out I would keep these they look nuts, make coilovers stiff you'll be ok or negative slight camber geometry. Well I have made a deal with Fearless, so they will be on the car soon, this is due to you lot saying they will fit, so it's your fault if I run into problems:p If anyone really likes my Work wheels they will be for sale in the next few weeks I guess, will need to get the replacements refurbed first and sort the rear tyres Edited March 10, 2013 by DodgyRog (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jos Posted March 10, 2013 Share Posted March 10, 2013 They look stunning!, I would try to fit these. I noticed on my car, the more the wheels get up towards the arch, the bigger the camber gets, so you might actually get away with it.

JamieP Posted March 10, 2013 Share Posted March 10, 2013 They look much better, maybe machine a few mm off the back of the wheel, I've done that loads of times. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pulley Posted March 10, 2013 Share Posted March 10, 2013 they will look awesome once refurbed mate, definately keep them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
