tomssupra Posted July 21, 2005 Share Posted July 21, 2005 Guys, I need your expertise Please! I have been saving for a couple of months now for 19" Antera 343 Rims, only to ring up today and be told that they will not fit without serious arch modifications!? I wanted to get; Rears 11x19 - and - Fronts 9.5x19 - all with Pirelli Neros I have ready got 11x17 and 9x17 The picture attached below shows the supe with the 19" versions (although i dont know how thick they are) and it doesnt look like there has been much modification there! My Supe has not been lowered or anything like that as you can see from the other picture below.. Please help me guys!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toms Supra Posted July 21, 2005 Share Posted July 21, 2005 I`ve got 10 (i think) x 19 on the back and 9.5 x 19 on the front no arch mods at all. 20`s would go but you need to remove the arch liners I think as my wheels virtually touch them on the front at full lock. So yeah go straight on! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RobSheffield Posted July 21, 2005 Share Posted July 21, 2005 i thinks its the 11" rear width that will cause the problems Tom...im going through this problem myself...i am going to cut the arch strengthening strip away, as i cant roll the arches as they are spot welded on J specs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tomssupra Posted July 21, 2005 Author Share Posted July 21, 2005 But if it was a 11" width problem how comes I have already got a 11" wheel - albeit 17"? Thanks, Tom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks, Tom not 100% sure, but im guessing the increase from 17 - 19 may have somethingto do with it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RICHARDA Posted July 21, 2005 Share Posted July 21, 2005 Toms, I have looked at Anteras before now albeit another style within the range and was told by Elite autos that they where available in 35mm offset only. HTH Rich Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tomssupra Posted July 22, 2005 Author Share Posted July 22, 2005 what does 35mm offset mean though? and how has the guy in my picture managed it? Thanks, Tom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ceptik Posted July 22, 2005 Share Posted July 22, 2005 Ive actually got these on my supra, but in an 18" flavour. Personally, i think they look great! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tomssupra Posted July 22, 2005 Author Share Posted July 22, 2005 Sweet, What kind of thickness do you have on the rears? Do you think there is room for a 19" on the rear only? Do you have any dead side shots? Thanks, Tom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ceptik Posted July 22, 2005 Share Posted July 22, 2005 Sweet, What kind of thickness do you have on the rears? Do you think there is room for a 19" on the rear only? Do you have any dead side shots? Thanks, Tom I think there is room for 19s on the rear as the 18s dont fill the arches completely. I have side shots at home but not here at work. I'll post some as soon as i can!

Ceptik Posted July 22, 2005 Share Posted July 22, 2005 I know they're not completely side on but hope these help a little more Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
