Getrag Posted April 26, 2006 Share Posted April 26, 2006 Quicky... Will the following alloy look too narrow/set-in on the back of a Supra 17, 40 offset, 8inch wide with 255 rubber? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scooter Posted April 26, 2006 Share Posted April 26, 2006 Quicky... Will the following alloy look too narrow/set-in on the back of a Supra 17, 40 offset, 8inch wide with 255 rubber? Ok stock 17 inch wheel is, 9.5" wide 50mm offset, so 1.5" narrower. If the 8" had the same offset they'd be 0.75" (approx 19mm) further in the arch than stock 17's. As they have a 40mm offset, 10mm of the 19mm will be offset by this, so that the wheels will 'only' be 9mm further into the arch than stock 17's. Thats my understanding!! I think most consider stock 17's in to the arch too much and these will look worse........... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

merckx Posted April 26, 2006 Share Posted April 26, 2006 It wouldn't look too narrow. But a 255 is too wide on a 8" rim, my car came like this. The result was splits on the inside sidewall! 245 max on a 8" rim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
