ultra_supra Posted July 5, 2007 Share Posted July 5, 2007 hi all , not sure if this is the right section for this but i've seen the below on ebay: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&ih=008&sspagename=STRK%3AMEBI%3AIT&viewitem=&item=180136271350&rd=1&rd=1 the seller has offered to end early for a price we have agreed on but i just wanted to double check them with you guys on here, the tyre width for example seems alot smaller then the ones i already have (on the rear anyway)...will this cause problems? basically just need advise that they'll fit ok goin by the dimensions the seller has put on the link before i buy... any help GREATLY appreciated!!!! wheel info: The wheels have a pcd of 5x114.3 and an offset of 45 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nic Posted July 5, 2007 Share Posted July 5, 2007 8" front and rear is not ideal, they'll fit, but not sure if they'll clear the bigger Supra brakes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bolarbag Posted July 5, 2007 Share Posted July 5, 2007 Mate I would seriously not put 8's all round, esp. with spacers to clear bigger brakes, you need the 9.5 minimum to gain decent grip, and I would put 8.5 on fronts, I would not put spacers on my car, more so with 8's! Your car will handle like sh*t Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bondinho Posted July 5, 2007 Share Posted July 5, 2007 8s all round would be ok for an NA but as said not ideal (depends on how much they are I guess as to whether its worth it), I'm pretty sure I've seen others on here that have bought wheels that are same width all round. Will offset of 45 and 8" wide rim clear jap spec brakes? I thought the offset would have to be lower to clear brakes....? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
