Samurai 20V Posted May 18, 2011 Share Posted May 18, 2011 (edited) Hi all.. I am 99% sure that I want to buy these wheels, I have found a set as per my previous post.. JUst to reconfirm the sizes.. Fr - 245/35/19, 8.5J, 43 offset, RR - 275/30/19, 9.5J, 36 offset.. Will these fill my stock unrolled arches properly? I think they should, the fronts may be slightly weak but should be alot better than stock.. My car is lowered by the way.. Opinions? If somebody has some pics of a stock arched Supra with these offsets, that will help.. Thanks!

JamieP Posted May 18, 2011 Share Posted May 18, 2011 How wide are the front and rear wheels? not tyre width, wheel width. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
merckx Posted May 18, 2011 Share Posted May 18, 2011 (edited) Wheel size : FR - 8.5J × 19 Offset - 46mm RR - 9.5J × 19 Offset - 36mm PCD114.3 (5 hole) diameter 73 mm Hub Clearance to Caliper - 41mm Tire : Goodyear LS2000 245/35 & 275/30. I have 19", same width wheels at 8.5" and 9.5", same tyre sizes as those above. Only the offsets differ a little. Front offset 39mm , the tyre/wheel could do with coming out a further 8mm or so. Rear offset 37mm , the tyre/wheel is a good fit in the arch. Edited May 18, 2011 by merckx (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The deal i am getting on the rims and tyres is excellent, so the offset is not a choice.. The pics in your garage dont show the front, do you have any others? Thks..

Nic Posted May 19, 2011 Share Posted May 19, 2011 They should just fit without rolling the arches, not sure if they'll clear the larger brakes though. Stock wheel sizes/offsets Front 17x8 +50 - 235/45R17 Rear 17x9.5 +50 - 255/40R17 Compared to your stock wheels, the front GT-V wheels will sit 13mm closer to the wheel arch, the rear GT-V wheels will sit 14mm closer to the wheel arch.

Wheel Offset Calculator According to the advert there is 41mm clearance to caliper, the rims are specified for the Supra.. I checked the manufactures specs and it doesn't mention anything on big calipers.. I am worried now.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nic Posted May 19, 2011 Share Posted May 19, 2011 (edited) Just been checking Rays website it does not list the offsets you stated on the 1st post. You will also need to know what Disk of the wheels, this refers to the shape of the spokes and dish of the wheel, there are different Disk options for the GT-V's Edit: Just rechecked looks like only Disk A available in the sizes you state Unfortunately Rays no longer list the recommended sizes/offsets for the Supra on their website which is annoying!

I think i will try contacting Rays to confirm rather then buy wheels that dont fit.. Thanks for your Efforts... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would be a good idea, they will be able to tell you the recommended sizes/offsets to clear the larger brakes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Samurai 20V Posted May 20, 2011 Author Share Posted May 20, 2011 Add Heywood was kind enough to give me some info.. His car has the ffg Fronts: 19 x 9.5J offset +40 He says he has only 2/3mm clearance to the big brakes..I take it with these wheels being 1inch smaller it will not clear the brakes...
