Mad Matt Posted March 31, 2006 Share Posted March 31, 2006 Aren't you pushing the limits with 15mm and 25 mm spacers?? Hope you didn't put them on the original hubs?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chilli Posted March 31, 2006 Share Posted March 31, 2006 Sheesh they are mental! did the car drive ok with that crazy offset / spacer? Yep jake I realise J is the rim not width, sorry I meant width was just talking informally. PS: Yes I have seen a lip like that on the front, looks just like mine lol. Oh ok, maybe these are a tad fatter, they are FAT! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
absz Posted March 31, 2006 Share Posted March 31, 2006 i had the sizes measured up on these wheels but the offset were too negative even for my widebody kit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chilli Posted March 31, 2006 Share Posted March 31, 2006 nice wheels, but they are not suitable sizes for a supra - could seriously mess up the handling even if you did manage to get them fitted / covered up with arches etc... maybe you should sell them on Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamieP Posted March 31, 2006 Share Posted March 31, 2006 was they sold saying standard supra fitment? or suitable for widebody kit? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supratoy Posted March 31, 2006 Share Posted March 31, 2006 Mad Matt Jeeeessssuuuss! Why put the spacers on if you don't mind me asking? Looks like big orange roller boot! The spacers are on because I have te37's with +40 offset which are to weak for the over fenders roller boots, looks like a orange supra to me haha just playing Didn't actually drive it with the rims on. Just took pics off them before I sold them . If you have ever seen jap-imports silver supra he had phat rimson that. Not sure on offset but they where dished. check them out http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d161/supra-toy/37_029.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Soonto_HAS_soop Posted March 31, 2006 Share Posted March 31, 2006 So basically these don't fit a MKIV Supra, as it is illegal to drive a vehicle with wheels protruding, even with veilside overfenders..... .....case of incorrectly advertised ebay auction perhaps?

CJ Posted March 31, 2006 Share Posted March 31, 2006 Hi, It was me that sold these to you. They will fit a supra but obviously with the offset it's going to stick out. A set of steel arches was the cheapest solution I got down to but never got round to do it. I have a few pics that I could show you if you want? just so you have a idea off what to expect. Can I be frank here? There is no way those are ever going to fit and you knew it. I dont know about everyone else but looking at this I reckon you rumped the poor guy.

Soonto_HAS_soop Posted March 31, 2006 Share Posted March 31, 2006 Were the pictures of the orange roller skate added to the ebay auction? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supratoy Posted March 31, 2006 Share Posted March 31, 2006 Everyone that mailed me on these I told them you needed wide arches and even on the page I had mentioned- PLEASE OBSERVE SPEC- Never said they would fit a standard supra but i did say they would fit supra's because they do have a PCD 114.3 I ant a con people! Well hope use don't think I am. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chilli Posted March 31, 2006 Share Posted March 31, 2006 lol at roller skate, must admit, just because they fit the supra pcd, doesn't make them fit the car... would be false advertising if it said that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well hope use don't think I am. Come on mate thats rubbish. They dont need wide arches, they need completely new, uniquely manufactured arches. They would not fit any commercial kit currently available and you knew that. So, in a nutshell, I do reckon you have conned this poor guy.

chilli Posted March 31, 2006 Share Posted March 31, 2006 arches aside, even if you could make it legal, and the wheel bearings lasted more than 5 minutes, it would drive like it were on drugs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CJ Posted March 31, 2006 Share Posted March 31, 2006 The wheels were already discussed in this thread and it was pointed out that they would never fit: http://www.mkivsupra.net/vbb/showthread.php?t=59513 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
