XXR 531 wheels

Recommended Posts

I'm thinking of going for some XXR 531 wheels from Next Level Motoring in America.

 

Looking at 18x8.5 Platinum 5-100/5-114.3 [+20mm] fronts and 18x9.5 Platinum 5-100/5-114.3 [+20mm] on the rear delivered for £700

 

Has anyone got any experience ordering from Next Level Motoring (http://www.nlmotoring.com) and will these sizes fit the supra with UK brakes.

 

I did have a search and it looks like people have ordered similar sizes in different styles but I wanted to double check with the wheel specialists

Many thanks

Are you looking at NL Motoring as you want the Platinum finish option? As I know there a few UK Distributors but think I recall that in the UK they dont offer the Platinum finish.

 

Also, side note. Just saw your sig says SRD 500S - did you buy Alex's (Drift Bear) Supra?

Yep I bought Alex's Supra

 

I'd go for a wider rear mate

 

I don think they do wider in that design that will fit the supra, next size is 11" and the offset is 20 so that would need a lot of work to fit.

Im not so sure :blush:

 

 

SRB Power don't seem to have the 9.5 et20 on their website either, Ill send them an email

I don't think 11 inch in a 20 offset will fit with just a roll but I could be wrong

 

I contacted SRB and they only stock the 9.5 in et35 and they have no idea how long it would take to get the others in.

 

Might order the fronts from them and the rears from nlm to save on import tax

I'd double check that these can clear UK brakes as well dude. I'm sure I've seen a few threads where the question has been asked....just can't remember the answer :D

 

But I think there are a few XXR designs that won't clear them

An 11" wide wheel with an offset of 20 will fit on the rear with a roll, but you'd need to run extremely low to give extra camber and stretch a 265/35 on it to manage. :thumbs:

 

If you have to run such a small tyre is there much point in going for the wider wheels? What's the max tyre width on a 9"

 

The 19s come in 10" width, not sure I want to go 19" though.

Not unless you are planning on running the car low and require the smaller tyre size to avoid hitting the arch.

 

I personally run a 315/30/18 on an 11.5" wide wheel. I get away with that though as they have an offset of +50, giving me less clearance on the inside, but avoiding rubbing on the arch. I have a flared arch though so it also helps.

 

As for a wide tyre on a 9", you could put something like a 255 on there. I used to run 245/35 on my 8.5" fronts and 275/35 on my 9.5" rears on my previous Supra.

Mine are rolled so I dont think ill be able to give you an answer for that. Whats the reason for not wanting to roll the arches?

 

So I've done a quick calculation, buying the rears from NLmotoring and the fronts from SRB (both in stock) the total is £762 to the door including duty and VAT. Not too bad.

There has been a repair done at some stage on the drivers arch and I wouldn't want anything to happen to it as it looks spot on but I was wondering would 18/8.5et35 on the front and 18/9.5et35 on the rear be ok and would they clear uk brakes up front. :cool:

I don't think the fronts will fit without a spacer in a ET35 with uk brakes.

 

Ive gone for these now ordered them yesterday, had to order the fronts form SRB and rears from the US due to no stock of the rears at SRB and no way of telling a delivery time if they were ordered. Fronts came this morning and test fitted over the UK brakes fine.

This means my Veilsides are up for sale here
