simbasupra Posted January 26, 2008 Share Posted January 26, 2008 Have been looking at a set of 18" Rota GTR alloys. By looking at previous threads it seems they will clear UK brakes front and back and fronts will not rub. However it appears that they will rub on the outer wheel arches on the back with standard suspension due too the 30mm offset. What i would like to know is if this is correct, and would the rubbing stop if the car was lowered say 30mm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ric Posted January 26, 2008 Share Posted January 26, 2008 yes they will rub if you are looking at the ones on ebay with the 265 rear tyres you will need to roll/cut the arch lip on the rear Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
simbasupra Posted January 26, 2008 Author Share Posted January 26, 2008 thanks ric would that be with standard and lowered suspension. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Garfy Posted January 26, 2008 Share Posted January 26, 2008 yeah, will be with both, I have a set on my car, but I'm running 275's if your suspension is hard you might get away without it rubbing with 265's, I have only slightly rolled my arch's and it only rubbs on the biggest of bumps, I will prob switch to 265's next time around great wheels by the way Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ADL Mark Posted January 26, 2008 Share Posted January 26, 2008 What Garfy has said, I found exactly the same. They are very nice wheels, and very light too compared even to standard 17's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've seen your car around I think, haven't you parked opposite my house before? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ADL Mark Posted January 27, 2008 Share Posted January 27, 2008 Possibly, but I have no idea where your house is Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
imi Posted February 2, 2008 Share Posted February 2, 2008 how heavy are these wheels? guys - post some pics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ADL Mark Posted February 3, 2008 Share Posted February 3, 2008 I did weigh mine when I got them, but I can't for the life of me remember where I wrote down the weights. They were lighter than stock 17's by quite a bit, that's all I remember. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shilakadaddy Posted February 4, 2008 Share Posted February 4, 2008 about 10.5kg I seem to remember...? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhilMorrison Posted February 4, 2008 Share Posted February 4, 2008 We've sold a few sets to Supra owners, You can either use a 255 rear and it 'should' clear, or 265 and roll the lip. It is of course dependent on your camber settings though.. We have also had a customer fit the 9.5" at the front as well using a slightly stretched 235/40/18..

GetawayDriver Posted February 4, 2008 Share Posted February 4, 2008 255 is fine on lowered/firm suspension, rubs slightly on standard/softer suspension when under heavy load. you can see in the attached pic mine is pretty damn low. i decided the imperceivable difference in driving on 255 as opposed to 265 tyres didn't warrant body mods.

ADL Mark Posted February 4, 2008 Share Posted February 4, 2008 Ah, I think my friend lives nearly opposite you, he has a white GT-Four? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
imi Posted February 4, 2008 Share Posted February 4, 2008 about 10.5kg I seem to remember...? Thats quite heavy.... Regarding the fitment....there are a few threads about 275 on the rear clearing OK...is that viable? What offset to go for on the front....30 or 35?
