mr two Posted January 17, 2011 Share Posted January 17, 2011 Thinking of taking the Rays Mazda alloys off my MR2 and putting them on my Supra but just wondered what offsets are best for the Supra? maybe need spacers? Think the rears are 9" and fronts 8" both x 17" Anybody have these fitted to a Supra? If so do you have pics for me to see what they would look like? Or can anybody oblige and photoshop them onto my Supra please?

Lee_e Posted January 17, 2011 Share Posted January 17, 2011 Your current wheels look better. +1 Dont try and fix something that isnt broken ...although you could do it just to see what you think, put your mind at ease. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ellis Posted January 17, 2011 Share Posted January 17, 2011 If you're going to change them (and I agree with the above - don't) standard offset is 50 - so the nearer you can get to that, the better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nic Posted January 17, 2011 Share Posted January 17, 2011 What offsets are the wheels. Spacers = bad idea. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

barneybrendan Posted January 17, 2011 Share Posted January 17, 2011 why dont people like spacers ,or is it a case of only use a certain width spacer.What i mean is there an acceptable size you can fit before it becomes an issue.Only ask as im fitting ridox wide front fenders and was going to put spacers on for a bit.

j_jza80 Posted January 17, 2011 Share Posted January 17, 2011 I love that MR2 I reckon the wheels would look great on the Supra, but they look great of the MR2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hub-centric spacers that bolt on if you must have spacers. Spacers that just slide over the stock wheel studs moving the wheel out, mean the wheel is only supported/centred by the wheel studs rather than the stub axle, have a read HERE Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nic Posted January 17, 2011 Share Posted January 17, 2011 Is it not correct spacers could wear out componants quicker ie wheel bearings etc?? Spacers and also low offset wheels move the weight of the car outwards increases the leverage on the wheel bearings and suspension components.

w41k3r Posted January 18, 2011 Share Posted January 18, 2011 i have those rays mazdaspeed wheels in the garage for my supra mine are silver they look great on it sure they only weigh around 7kg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mr two Posted January 18, 2011 Author Share Posted January 18, 2011 Thanks for your input so far guys;) Can't remember the offsets of the Rays so will have to remove them to have a look lol. I agree the current Wolfrace wheels on my Supra really suit her ( IMO ) but they are starting to oxidise around the edges slightly - you can't see it from the pics. Whereas my Rays have just been fully refurbed and are spotless and brand new boots on too - Toyo Proxes on the rears:cool: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mr two Posted January 18, 2011 Author Share Posted January 18, 2011 Your choice on the wheels, Im liking that MR2 though Wana buy her ? - i think i will probably be selling her very soon if you know anyone who may be interested.
