supra_24 Posted July 1, 2014 Share Posted July 1, 2014 Hey guys, Its been a while since I have posted on here. Been pretty busy over the last few weeks trying to sort out the Supra at Whifbitz and sell my Nissan Silvia S15. Finally having sold my S15 last Saturday, I am now ready to purchase additonal parts needed for the Supra, which is almost ready to go after being at Whifbitz for the last 2 months lol. I will be fitting a brand new bodykit to the Supra and the car will also be resprayed in white again. I was originally going to fit a GT300 bodykit, but then had a rethink as it may make the car a bit unfriendly on the roads being that wide. Therefore I have decided to go for the JDL Supra bodykit. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/150683301638?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2649 The only issue I have now is purchasing some alloys that will suit the bodykit. I need to know the width and offsets for fronts and rears? Not looking to spend too much on alloys as I am on a budget. But around £800-£1000 would be nice. I was looking into some black Rota alloys. But any other makes in that colour would be good too. Any advice on this would be greatly appreciated. Regards Ash Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jazz1 Posted July 1, 2014 Share Posted July 1, 2014 Personally I would stick with stock body, Rmm front lip than the JDK kit and Invest the money in proper stances deep wheels. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jcbt Posted July 1, 2014 Share Posted July 1, 2014 Personally I would stick with stock body, Rmm front lip than the JDK kit and Invest the money in proper stances deep wheels. +1 for stock look front lip and properly stanced on good wheels Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jamesmark Posted July 1, 2014 Share Posted July 1, 2014 +1 for stock look front lip and properly stanced on good wheels Personally I would stick with stock body, Rmm front lip than the JDK kit and Invest the money in proper stances deep wheels. Another vote for stock look but minus the ridiculous front lip. Unless you want your Supra to look like Bubba out of Forrest Gump. However, it is your car. Only other thing is fitment of that kit, has it been tried and tested by others. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supra_24 Posted July 1, 2014 Author Share Posted July 1, 2014 Cheers guys, but I kinda like the body kit. I did the same with my Nissan Silvia S15. Everyone wanted me to go stock bumper etc, but I liked the aggressive look and when people actually saw it in person they agreed it did look quite nice. If we all went for the same stock look on our Supras, it would be pretty boring. Just need to know wheel specs really. I mean whats the usual rear wheel width size and front wheel width size and there offsets? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dnk Posted July 1, 2014 Share Posted July 1, 2014 Totally stock but lowered 30 mm front 25 mm rear on a nice set of 18's, job done Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supra_24 Posted July 1, 2014 Author Share Posted July 1, 2014 ok but what are the norm for Supra front/rear widths and offsets? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brazil Posted July 1, 2014 Share Posted July 1, 2014 Have you considered Nur motor sport wide arch kit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattdavies Posted July 1, 2014 Share Posted July 1, 2014 18x10 et35 Rear and 18x9 et35 would be a reasonable starting point for wheel sizes. The use willtheyfit.com to work out the rest with the extensions the arches give Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest MINTER Posted July 1, 2014 Share Posted July 1, 2014 I have four 19x10 et 20 Rota GTRs in silver in very decent condition with good tyres on two to others on the limit. Bought them for my own supra but they stick out to much on the standard arches,these thing are huge!would compliment the wider wings and arches Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mellonman Posted July 1, 2014 Share Posted July 1, 2014 (edited) Must admit I had the jdl front bumper other then whifbitz front bumper its the best looking after market bumper for the supra I will leave then here of when I had it on , only reason I changed it was because like many other fibre glass bumpers it met its demise by london roads Edited July 1, 2014 by mellonman (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fitz Posted July 2, 2014 Share Posted July 2, 2014 I'd say go for the JDL kit, be nice to see someone doing something lairy for a change. Just as a wish, get the bodykit fitted properly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supra_24 Posted July 2, 2014 Author Share Posted July 2, 2014 It will be fitted properly by a body shop called body-tone in Bracknell. They did my s15 body kit and ot looked amazing. However to fit all the kit and spoiler and spray them, they have quoted £1500, which i thought was a bit steep. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supra_24 Posted July 2, 2014 Author Share Posted July 2, 2014 Btw i looked up Konig milligram alloys for the supra yesterday and they looked awesome. Anyone fitted these? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JackyBoi Posted July 2, 2014 Share Posted July 2, 2014 So to make this clear, if for example I wanted to fit 18" Rota's onto my Supra, would they fit straight on without any issues? I'm such a newb when it comes to alloy fitment Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luxluc Posted July 2, 2014 Share Posted July 2, 2014 What about XXR rims. They offer offset which require solid arch work, fenders or wide body. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
