Chris Bailey Posted May 30, 2015 Share Posted May 30, 2015 I know I'm going to get told off for this but I need the correct answer! What is the maximum size wheel you can fit on the front WITHOUT modification? I know a few guys with CCW'S run 18×10J at the front, but the people ive asked dont know the offset because CCW only list it as "Supra Fitment" Can anyone help?

Benjy Posted May 30, 2015 Share Posted May 30, 2015 Message Andy dude, he's got some stupid offset wheels Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobUK Posted May 30, 2015 Share Posted May 30, 2015 JamieP will know, he's like a walking guide to wheel offset etc....helped me loads when I was buying and modifying my arches Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Style Posted May 30, 2015 Share Posted May 30, 2015 CCW offset for the 10J fronts is +51 I think. It's something in the low 50's at least! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
downimpact Posted May 30, 2015 Share Posted May 30, 2015 also depends on the width of the tyre and the shoulder on the particular tyre design. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Bailey Posted June 1, 2015 Author Share Posted June 1, 2015 Will these fit rolled rear arches and stock front arches? 18×11J +43 on the rear to get a 96mm dish 18×9.5J +41 to get a 71mm dish on the front Thats what Driftworks have messeged me.

JamieP Posted June 1, 2015 Share Posted June 1, 2015 Widths and offsets will work, 71mm dish on the front sounds a lot though, if I had to guess I'd say they might not clear UK brakes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Bailey Posted June 1, 2015 Author Share Posted June 1, 2015 Widths and offsets will work, 71mm dish on the front sounds a lot though, if I had to guess I'd say they might not clear UK brakes. 71mm is 2.7 inches according to Google. We dont want to run a spacer because we'd like to lower the car a touch more at the front. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamieP Posted June 1, 2015 Share Posted June 1, 2015 I know what 71mm is mate, just saying it sounds a lot. Lip on my front CCW's is 38mm Spacers are best avoided. I did try and tell you they wouldn't fit the last time you bought wheels. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did try and tell you they wouldn't fit the last time you bought wheels. It does sound alot to be fair, the rear is 96mm. Do you think an 18×10J ET50 would clear at the front?

Widths and offsets make little difference to brake clearance mate, it's about spoke design and dish size. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Bailey Posted June 1, 2015 Author Share Posted June 1, 2015 Widths and offsets make little difference to brake clearance mate, it's about spoke design and dish size. Its hard to know, because not many people run Work Meister's. Don't really want to go ahead and order them to find out they dont fit.

JamieP Posted June 1, 2015 Share Posted June 1, 2015 With that dish size, I wouldnt unless Driftworks offer a money back guarantee on fitment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobUK Posted June 1, 2015 Share Posted June 1, 2015 71mm is 2.7 inches according to Google. . This is up there with the boot release thread lol..... Made even more funny by the fact JP is a builder. pmsl Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Bailey Posted June 1, 2015 Author Share Posted June 1, 2015 Im having abit more luck, looking on Supra forums US and a quite a few guys run Work Meister's and clear UK/US bigger brakes. One guy has 19×9.5J +37 265/30/19 19×11J +42 305/35/19 Offsets would be the same in an 18" rim, which is what we want. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Style Posted June 1, 2015 Share Posted June 1, 2015 What sizes and offsets have you gone with for your CCW'S mate? 18x10 +51 18x11.5 +51 MarcAB10's running 18's and can only manage j specs I think. Tkddav3 just bought some works I think. Maybe see how he gets on? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jim Posted June 2, 2015 Share Posted June 2, 2015 If you're buying new works do you not get to specify that you need a/o/r disk to help with caliper clearance? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

James Posted June 2, 2015 Share Posted June 2, 2015 (edited) Im wondering if a 10J ET50 would clear with the spoke design of the Work Meister. I'm speaking with Dave about his rims and ive also messaged Marc Marc is 18x9.5 ET24 up front and also has a 20mm spacer so is essentially ET4. You specify the disk type with Meisters. Marc's are the larger so that he could fit UKs should he wish. We'll perhaps try them on my car when he is back from Egypt.

gavin.starr Posted June 2, 2015 Share Posted June 2, 2015 Im going to be looking at this thread once i get my single installed, Ive got KAD 8 pots to fit front and rear when im finished so i could do with knowing what wheels will clear them. I know my vertec vr5's wont fit without fitting a spacer as the caliper clashes with the inside face of the spokes. So it looks like im going to need a new set of wheels at som point down the line.

jim Posted June 3, 2015 Share Posted June 3, 2015 There's an old thread somewhere called wheels known to fit over uk brakes Gavin, might be handy for you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
