Oh, and what size are the rears, and I'll add 'em to the list. Roy, I've added the Azevs, don't suppose you have the offsets do you? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kitt Posted May 24, 2004 Share Posted May 24, 2004 Best looking wheels for the MKIV Supra must be Rial " Le-Mans " 19 inch alloys. I purchased a set with 265/35/19 and 235/35/19 tyres for £1,450 ! Got to say I've never seen a better set of alloys on a MKIV. ( not boasting or anything ! ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scooter Posted May 24, 2004 Share Posted May 24, 2004 sorry Z1's and rears are 18 x 9 and 45 offset not tried them over the uk rears (which is why i didn't include them) but i'm pretty certain they'll be fine............ ...............actually might just go and try'em now thinking about it!

Need4Speed Posted May 24, 2004 Share Posted May 24, 2004 Once again I have to say that the offset is nothing to do with whether or not the rims will fit over UK brakes (or any other brakes. The offset affects whether the rims will work with the suspension (and bodywork), the spoke shape affects whether the rims will clear the brakes.

Scooter Posted May 24, 2004 Share Posted May 24, 2004 True John, but the list compiles wheels which if ordered in that particular offset will clear the calipers eg the 18 x 9 blitz's of 45mm offset (that do fit over the rear uk calipers btw) will not fit the front of a uk caliper'd sup whereas the 18 x 8 and 41mm offset ones will. This is not specifically to do with offset as the design/dish is changed in the 41mm wheels, but it shows what ones you would need to actually order. ie for blitz fronts on the supra you 'need' fronts whether 8 or 9 inch wide to be ordered in the 41mm offset to clear uk brakes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Need4Speed Posted May 24, 2004 Share Posted May 24, 2004 Sorry Scooter, I'm not questioning the list, just the relationship between rim offset & caliper clearance. The offset should be standard unless the suspension has been radically reworked. Having said that, I'm coming from a handling point of view and I appreciate that cosmetics are more important if you're building a car for show or looks, rather than performance. The effect of offset is often misunderstood. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scooter Posted May 24, 2004 Share Posted May 24, 2004 It is a minefield i know, i've tried to balance the cosmetics and the handling aspects, i'll just have to see what its like when i get round to putting tyres on them......... ...............they've taken about 3 months to get here and now i'm even contemplating selling them to fund other stuff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are they going on the 'Shed' or 'old bluey'? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eyefi Posted May 24, 2004 Share Posted May 24, 2004 alot of the jap wheel manufacturers have a "big caliper fitment" version of their wheels, not exactly definative, i know, but if they r worth their salt they will b able to tell u if they fit. it goes without saying, no spacers? and no grinding the caliper or the rear of the spokes (ive seen it done). good thread simon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scooter Posted May 24, 2004 Share Posted May 24, 2004 Originally posted by Bobbeh I dare you to post pics. Scott. Are they going on the 'Shed' or 'old bluey'? now i 'know' they fit i suspect on the 'shed'! looking into rubber at the moment and then i'll put them on and see if i'm happy with the ride etc bobbeh, can you clear up my hub centre size query? are your blitz's oversized bore wise compared to stock wheels and do you have metal rings to 'fill the gap'?

Steve W2 Posted June 10, 2004 Share Posted June 10, 2004 Don't know how much help it is but Volk Racing AV3's fit over UK brakes. I don't know what offset they are though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SimonB Posted June 27, 2004 Author Share Posted June 27, 2004 Updated with Lexus offsets now I have some of these ( ) and the generic PCD, hub size etc... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex Posted June 27, 2004 Share Posted June 27, 2004 BBS LM's will fit over UK brakes. But I don't have the off set info to hand - Ibrar got me the information before drop him a PM and I'm sure he'll tell you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chipmunk Posted June 27, 2004 Share Posted June 27, 2004 Had a set of Azev M's fitted back in November last year , which just clear the brakes. Front's are 8.5" x 18" , with rears at 10"x18". Both front & rear offsets are 45mm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spyda Posted May 6, 2006 Share Posted May 6, 2006 Not much happening on this thread any more... has it died or been replaced?

lpher Posted May 7, 2006 Share Posted May 7, 2006 What about the 8,5x18"/10x18" TTE alloys then? @lpher Excellent thread..but an update would be desireable The TTE-alloys (Same as the GS300 Sport wheels) should be on the list too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
