D8MOA Posted October 4, 2006 Share Posted October 4, 2006 ive got a set of 8J alloys with 245/40 tyres fitted and the offset is 40. so need to know what size wheel spacers to get Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
garethr Posted October 4, 2006 Share Posted October 4, 2006 Standard offset is 50. Spacers will take the offset further away from standard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steviekid Posted October 4, 2006 Share Posted October 4, 2006 ive got a set of 8J alloys with 245/40 tyres fitted and the offset is 40. This will actually bring the wheels 10mm outwards compared to the stock wheels. Are you sure you need spacers? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steviekid Posted October 4, 2006 Share Posted October 4, 2006 Are they 8J at the rear too by the way? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blitz supra Posted October 4, 2006 Share Posted October 4, 2006 People always get offsets the wrong way round Smaller the offset Number ( further the wheel sticks out ) A 50 offset will push the wheels right inside the Arches Best offset for a Supra with aftermarket wheels is 35-38 with rims between 8.5 / 9.5 - 10in *bigger size on back) Although I have 8.5 all round with no probs 225/40x 18 on front ( going bigger when they wear out) 265/35x18 on back There has been a thread on this already about a week ago Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn't put spacers on unless it's absolutely necessary. Depending on the design of the alloys the fronts will probably fit on but your going to be running quite narrow wheels at the rear so although the offset is lower than standard they still might not fit on.

blitz supra Posted October 5, 2006 Share Posted October 5, 2006 My wheels are 38 offset and will still clear UK TT Bigger brakes but that depends on your wheel design still though I have 5 spokes , People like wheelbase i've found etc are very clued up on these matters, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blitz supra Posted October 5, 2006 Share Posted October 5, 2006 forget spacers, they will wreck your wheel bearings, long term Also worth mentioning the importance of the correct spigots inside the wheel ( plastic rings) these must be fitted and with the correct bore, otherwise whole weight of car is on studs and not Hubs, and you probably get wheel shake / vibration etc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
