drew 007 Posted March 15, 2014 Share Posted March 15, 2014 Hi Guys, Im after a little help from the guys in the know!! Im wondering what and if a set of 18" alloys in fitment.. Front...8.5j et28 and rear...9.5j et37 will fit my standard suspension supra with big breaks and not catch any of the arches? if the above will fit? what tyre size's would people recommend please? any info will be really appreciated. Kind regards, Drew. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nic Posted March 15, 2014 Share Posted March 15, 2014 They should fit the stock arches, the fronts will be marginal but with the right tyres shouldn't be a problem. Clearance to the brakes will depend on the design of the wheels - how much clearance there is between the back of the spokes and the front face of the brake callipers - impossible to say just from the widths and offsets. Ideal tyre sizes would be: F: 235/40/18 or 245/40/18 R: 265/35/18 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drew 007 Posted March 15, 2014 Author Share Posted March 15, 2014 Thanks Nic, really appreciated buddy. The wheels are Work VS-XX buddy. Not sure if you know they fit or not? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swampy442 Posted March 16, 2014 Share Posted March 16, 2014 Not sure about brake clearance with that offset though, VS's are quite a flat design. You might need to test fit or get a spacer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kitch79 Posted March 16, 2014 Share Posted March 16, 2014 I've got VS MX in 18", in an offset of 31 all round. Seems loads of Clarence over my Jspecs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
