suprascott Posted September 5, 2007 Share Posted September 5, 2007 Help- i have purchased some Racing Hart six spoke in gold,beautiful wheels,however they overhang the front wheel arch by about 20mm and 30mm on the back,stupid of me not to check before i know.Without fitting overfenders which i know abflug does them, any ideas how i can get around this?I have not actually fitted them but have been told on good authority this will be the case,failing that i will be selling them as i dont want to alter my bodywork.Sizes are as follows- 18x9J+14 and 18x10+0 114.3.Cheers.Dont think i can return them as i got them from California on ebay,where the seller has said no refunds or exchanges,before anyone asks yes they clear UK brakes as mine is a UK model Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gaz Walker Posted September 5, 2007 Share Posted September 5, 2007 Yep you're screwed Without changing the bodykit theres nothing you can do. Veilside overfenders or replica's would be the cheapest way of getting the right look, still not going to be cheap. Regards, Gaz. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you also know what the 'centre bore' is on these wheels?.. If the offset is totally wrong, are you sure the 'centre bore' is correct for a Supra?

suprascott Posted September 5, 2007 Author Share Posted September 5, 2007 Been told they will fit the supra,they are used wheels but in really lovely condition,not gonna put them until next year so if i have to change the bodywork,if not i will put them back on ebay unless anyone wants them from here.Spoke to a guy that Wheelmania put me in contact with,he was ever so helpful even recommended the abflug overfenders but im not sure on the look and whether it would spoil the look of the car.Been after these wheels for ages and feel like shit now,my fault though,no one elses Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
patrikbrunt Posted September 5, 2007 Share Posted September 5, 2007 is it not possible to stick 'em on a lathe and turn a bit off the mounting face? or is there no meat there to remove?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nic Posted September 5, 2007 Share Posted September 5, 2007 18x9J +14 offset and 18x10J +0 offset is going to mess with the handling of the car badly. Sell them on and buy a set with the correct offsets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
suprascott Posted September 5, 2007 Author Share Posted September 5, 2007 Cheers mate thats what i think i will have to do,not sure now what i would advertise them in fitting,i have emailed the guy i got them off,dont suppose he will help me,bloody hell what a f---in prick i am Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
