Alloy help. Looking at sizes

[Guest gillies888]

Looking at the alloys below. They are 18" so will replace mine. But how will the fact that they are only 8inch front and back affect the car? At the moment my 18 alloys are 9"front 9 1/2" rear.

 

Dont want to jump in and buy them if they will affect car.

i dont think you would want 8's up front and on the rear, the 235 rear tyre is a little narrow, they are very cheap as well, have you seen the quality in person ?

Seen the alloys, had no problems with them before. But just trying to sort out alloys for my supra asap.

My brother has just put 8"s alround on his 300zx (which use the same wheel offsets as the supra) but he took off 8.5" front and 9.5" rear. The car now looks crap, the wheels look way to thin and sit inside the arches also when you follow the car instead of seeing chucky 265's you see poxy 235's. You wouldn't think it makes that much difference but beleive me it does.

 

He's now looking to sell the wheels and replace them with the correct sizes.

 

If the offset on the wheels your looking at is correct they may look ok but I doubt wether they come with the rear offset you need to fill the arches

 

Plus I would say it'd upset the handling with regard to rear grip.
