Earthrokka Posted May 9, 2003 Share Posted May 9, 2003 Hi All, I 'm getting a set of Schnitzer alloys ! what r the precise sizes I 'm looking at so I could order the right stuff ? At the moment i am running on 245 / 16" all around standart Toyota. I want 18" or could I get away with 19" on NA ? Want 235 front 'n 265 rear I think that 's safe if I believe what I read ! For the width on the Supras Arches, is it gonna be 8 or 9 .. ? anyone ? Cheers Lads E' Rokka Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doug Posted May 9, 2003 Share Posted May 9, 2003 Mish, I think you can fit up to 19" without too much hassle, you will have a choice of a few tyre widths at the back. Check this thread for an in depth dicussion that was had a while ago. Hope it helps mate Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Earthrokka Posted May 9, 2003 Author Share Posted May 9, 2003 chhhheeeeeerz Doug Just finished reading all that 'n I came up with nothing. Nuuhh only messing all good man .. just needed the offset mesurements + width. I think 9" will be cool for me. May be 245 front 265 rear all on 18" just to be on the safe side (wud love 19" tho) Laterz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thor Posted May 9, 2003 Share Posted May 9, 2003 19's will fit as long as you dont go wider than your 244 265 combo & you get the correct offset. Yoy really need to speak to the manufacturer/ Vendor about brake clearance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eyefi Posted May 9, 2003 Share Posted May 9, 2003 stock offset is +50mm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eyefi Posted May 9, 2003 Share Posted May 9, 2003 stock widths @ 17" r 8 and 9 1/2, front and rear respectively. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Earthrokka Posted May 12, 2003 Author Share Posted May 12, 2003 Cheerz boyz... it's offset that i wasn't sure about ! The break clearance ? where would the problem be then ? Nice1 Earthrokka Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roy Posted May 12, 2003 Share Posted May 12, 2003 have you got j-spec or uk spec brakes at the mo' ? think this will help define the brake clearance issue and what you can get away with ? let's have some pics when you're done .... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nice1 Earthrokka Most wheels will miss the J Spec 2 pot brakes but few clear the UK 4 Pots. You could buy a set of wheels with the correct offset that still hit UK Calipers. You need to measure from the hub face to the outside edge of a UK caliper & give this measurement to the wheel manufacturer for confirmation.

Earthrokka Posted May 12, 2003 Author Share Posted May 12, 2003 Thor, True.. just spoke a mate at work 'n he said the same thing. Got a Jspec. The wheels we got here @work are just for BMW I wanted 'em coz i could get 'em @ 40% cheaper from the retail price a shockin' £900 each ... Also, the biggest BMW does are 45mm offsets Ahh well.. they wud 've looked wicked on me Supe.. Thanks boyz for the support. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thor Posted May 12, 2003 Share Posted May 12, 2003 A 45mm Offset would be OK. Just the brake clearance that needs checking. All you need is to try one on someones car. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Earthrokka Posted May 12, 2003 Author Share Posted May 12, 2003 ahh ! thats sounds promissing.. cheerz Thor:D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thorin Posted May 12, 2003 Share Posted May 12, 2003 Don't you need a smaller offset the bigger the wheel anyway? I'm sure I'd seen people on 18's with 40 or 45 offset. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ibrar Jabbar Posted May 12, 2003 Share Posted May 12, 2003 BMW wheels won't fit as they have a PCD of 5x120, so won't even locate onto your hubs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Need4Speed Posted May 12, 2003 Share Posted May 12, 2003 BMW wheels won't fit Lucky you didn't part with (a discounted) £900 a wheel then:eek: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
