Andy_s-TT-Supra Posted January 12, 2016 Share Posted January 12, 2016 I'm looking to buy a set of wheels and need some help to understand if they would fit ok and if they would also sit ok on the car. I have a jap spec twin turbo ( standard setup ) and I'm looking to get a set of wheels with the following spec 18s Front, 8J - 35 offset Rear 9J - 40 offset If anyone has any photo examples with the same offset that they could attach to the thread it would be much appreciated. If not I would really appreciate any guidance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JackyBoi Posted January 12, 2016 Share Posted January 12, 2016 I think it will be fine dude, but it depends on the tyres you fit. I'm sure someone else can give you a definitive answer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy_s-TT-Supra Posted January 12, 2016 Author Share Posted January 12, 2016 Currently I have 255s front and I believe 275s rear which are nearly new so I was hoping I'd be able to swap them over onto the new rims Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nic Posted January 13, 2016 Share Posted January 13, 2016 (edited) This is a pic of my car fitted with 18x9 +32 245/40R18 and 18x10+32 285/35R18, the wheels sit almost flush with the stock wheel arches, the arches needed slightly rolling so the tyres wouldn't catch. More pics in my garage HERE In comparison the outer rim of the wheels you are considering would sit 16mm further inwards at the front and the rears would sit 20mm further inwards. If you have the larger 4pot/2pot Supra brakes fitted you will also need to determine if the wheels will clear the brake calipers ie. if there is enough space between the front face of the calipers and the rear face of the wheel spokes. This will largely depend on the design of the wheels. Edited January 13, 2016 by Nic (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scooter Posted January 13, 2016 Share Posted January 13, 2016 They will stick out 15mm more at the front and about 4mm at the rear more than stock 17" wheels. They will fit and be dynamically fine, most these days would I think call them 'weak' looks / wheel arch wise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here's a guide to wheel and tyre widths http://www.brick-yard.co.uk/forum/tyre-size-for-rim-width_topic60146.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy_s-TT-Supra Posted January 13, 2016 Author Share Posted January 13, 2016 That supra looks spot on Nic - lovely stance! I think its a case that the wheels I've found have the right fitment but are just not set up for the supra which is a shame Guess I will maybe look to keep the Veilsides. I haven't actually test fitted them on the car yet but would the 9J + 41 and 10 + +48 offset sit alrite? ( Jspec brakes all round - booo ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

( Jspec brakes all round - booo ) You'll probably find pics on here or on Goggle of Supras with Veilside Andrews wheels fitted. Again in comparison to mine, the fronts would sit further inwards by 9mm and the rears 16mm inwards. If you use my wheel widths and offsets as a starting point, you can use an online offset calculator to compare other wheels. https://www.1010tires.com/Tools/Wheel-Offset-Calculator# http://www.willtheyfit.com/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
