Hi guys found a set of stock 16x8 Supra alloys - just checking they'll clear my UK brakes as obviously the 15's need the jspec rear set up back on?

 

Or will they need a spacer?

 

More interested in the rears but be good to know re fronts as well

 

Muchos :)

16" rear rims won't clear UK rear calipers without spacers James, I'm sure the same applies to 16" front rims on the back.

 

I have 15mm spacers on my tub and they do the trick.

 

Ya rears clear mate but did have spaces on lol

 

 

Ok cheers guys - so need 15mm spacers front and rear??

Hold on now James, I think we have wires crossed somewhere buddy.

 

I honestly don't think stock 16's will fit to the front regardless of spacers.

 

I haven't actually tried but I'd say the combination of extra disk and caliper diameter will prevent the wheels from fitting.

 

(With regard to the rears I was making the point that both stock 16" front and rear rims would probably fit to the rear hubs if you used a spacer)

I think the stock 16' are 8j wide front and rear so all 4 are the same size...

You can borrow 2 of my 17's for the summer for drag if you want mate as I'm not booked in for any track days any time soon! Up to you?
