Guest merlinuk Posted May 11, 2007 Share Posted May 11, 2007 Took delivery of my first Supra today, j-spec '94 N/A. Booked in for a cat back exhaust on Monday. But....it has 4 American Arelli 18" Jovan chrome wheels on it! Way toooooo bling! I have narrowed my new wheel choice down to either KEI Racing D1 or D2's or TSW Thruxton. My query is, will the wheels fit straight on with no clearance problems, I have been told by one supplier that the Thruxtons would need to be made offset, but I only have the normal brakes etc. Help and advice greatly appreciated, will get some pics up as soon as I've got the exhaust and wheels sorted.

boombastictiger Posted May 12, 2007 Share Posted May 12, 2007 what are the dimensions of the wheels that you want to put on.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Homer Posted May 12, 2007 Share Posted May 12, 2007 Yeah that. Don't forget the offsets & tyre sizes you plan on fitting. Do you have the smaller or larger brake options? I expect it's the smaller ones, but you never know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PAG Posted May 12, 2007 Share Posted May 12, 2007 Get them cats removed aswell it makes a difference:D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest merlinuk Posted May 12, 2007 Share Posted May 12, 2007 18" wheels as I have a brand new set of 225/40/18 tyres. Homer, is there a way I can tell which brakes are fitted as I have nothing to compare it with? and will both wheel types go straight on? Pag, thought about having the cats removed, how much difference? Thanks Guys. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AndrewOW Posted May 12, 2007 Share Posted May 12, 2007 18" wheels as I have a brand new set of 225/40/18 tyres. Are you sure the wheels are going to be wide enough? As this tyre size, especially for the rear wheels, doesn't sound right to me. For example, the wheels for my TT are an 18" x 8.5" (245/40/18) front, and a 18" x 10" (275/35/18) rear. I think you can get away with slightly narrower wheels on an N/A, but be careful what you buy, cos you may not have enough rubber on the ground for handling/power etc. Just my penny's worth Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
