agent.chaos Posted October 31, 2008 Share Posted October 31, 2008 Just surfing around and came across these Konigs... http://www.wheelfire.com/scontent/WheelDetails.cfm?IDNumber=KONIG_runaway_shadowBlk&TireIDNumber=LINGLONGL688&SKU=2391&TireSKU=2334&VehicleMakeFinal=Toyota&VehicleYearFinal=1994&VehicleModelFinal=Supra&VehicleOption=Turbo%20%28Front%29 ...I think it looks pretty good, and not bad package price. Then I noticed its not a staggered set... So, yes? no? maybe? ...Your thoughts please! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
j80leo Posted October 31, 2008 Share Posted October 31, 2008 very nice rims fella what colour car are they going on black would be sweet as;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
agent.chaos Posted October 31, 2008 Author Share Posted October 31, 2008 Yep, my ride IS black! I'm trying to go for an all black look! I checked out another site for these, and it shows the following sizes: http://www.1010tires.com/wheel.asp?wheelmodel=Runaway+-+Black&wheelbrand=Konig I guess I should go for 18"x8, 35mm offset fronts, and 18"x9, 30mm offset rears? Does that work...? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Homer Posted October 31, 2008 Share Posted October 31, 2008 Those sizes are okay, though the rears should ideally be 9.5inch wide. The supra should use a staggered setup (for info, stock is 17x8 front and 17x9.5 rear with a +50 offset on both) The offset means they are spaced further out from the stock wheel so you *may* get some rubbing on the arches, though it will depend on the tire choice and your suspension setup.

agent.chaos Posted October 31, 2008 Author Share Posted October 31, 2008 Would it make a huge difference, 9s as opposed to 9.5s and the offsets? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Homer Posted October 31, 2008 Share Posted October 31, 2008 Would it make a huge difference, 9s as opposed to 9.5s and the offsets? I'm no expert on this so can only go on what others have said but I wouldn't have thought it'd make any significant difference The stock 16's have an 9inch IIRC, so as long as you don't put silly width tyre's on it shouldn't upset things too much. The offsets will make more of a difference, it all depends how much power you have and what you use the car for. If you are concerned it might be worth speaking to one of the pro's like Chris Wilson. You MUST ensure you get a full professional suspension allignment done after installing new wheels. Things like camber, caster, toe, ride height will need to be changed.

agent.chaos Posted October 31, 2008 Author Share Posted October 31, 2008 Didn't thought its so much trouble just to get a set of wheels... Thanks for your input though Homer! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
agent.chaos Posted October 31, 2008 Author Share Posted October 31, 2008 Kinda crappy that I can't take advantage of the wheel and tire package... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're not the only once They are the only thing that connect your car to the road so correct wheel and tyre choice are one of the most important decisions you can make.

agent.chaos Posted November 3, 2008 Author Share Posted November 3, 2008 The supra should use a staggered setup (for info, stock is 17x8 front and 17x9.5 rear with a +50 offset on both) Just came across this site and it shows that 17x8 front and 17x9.5 rear are for the Export/US versions. Apparently for the JDMs, its 16x8 front/16x9 rear for pre-95s, and 17x8 front/17x9.5 for post-95s. Got the info here: http://www.mkiv.co.nz/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like much on the JDM supra they might have been an option. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
