jot_ie Posted May 18, 2015 Share Posted May 18, 2015 Hi Just got a recommendation for wheel offsets and would really like to get some opinions The wheel and tyre sizes I'm looking at are:- 18x9.5 ET36 265 35 r18 Tyres - Front 18x11.5 ET48 315 30 r18 Tyres - Back The rear arches are rolled and the suspension is all stock. The brake calipers are uk spec. Any input much appreciated as its wrecking my head. I can't afford to order wheels and have them not fit very well. Many thanks John Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattdavies Posted May 18, 2015 Share Posted May 18, 2015 Will fit fine under the arches, cannot guarantee they will clear the calipers without seeing spoke design Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jot_ie Posted May 18, 2015 Author Share Posted May 18, 2015 Many thanks Matt, I haven't decided on the actual wheel brand yet but thinking of 360 Forged SL10 or Work Gnosis CV201. Something in that style anyway Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nic Posted May 18, 2015 Share Posted May 18, 2015 The best way to visualise how they are going to sit is to compare them to a known set of wheels. eg. the wheels on the pic of my car below (more pics in my garage). Front: 18x9 +32 245/40R18 Rear: 18x10 +32 285/35R18 If you compare the wheel sizes in your first post to mine, the fronts would stick out an extra 2mm compared to mine, the rears would stick out an extra 3mm. I had to have my arches rolled so the tyres didn't rub, so you definitely will with the wider tyres. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Something in that style anyway Brake clearance should be okay with those style of wheels, it is the deep dish wheels that can have clearance problems between the back of the spokes and front face of the calipers. The best thing to do would be ask the company you buy the wheels from, the likes of Work Wheels will know if they clear the Supra calipers.

jot_ie Posted May 18, 2015 Author Share Posted May 18, 2015 Many thanks Nic. The arches on mine have been rolled as it's in the bodyshop at the moment. My little re-build thread here:- http://www.mkivsupra.net/vbb/showthread.php?313431-Back-Again/page2 Your wheels look pretty much flush, now getting worried that even those extra few mm you mention will push them out a little too much. I would rather have them slightly in rather than out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jot_ie Posted May 18, 2015 Author Share Posted May 18, 2015 This is the look I'm after (pic "liberated" from the web, so just in case, I'll apologies for thieving it) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
