Hi guys,

 

As some will have gathered, I have been trying to sell my Aristo. I have decided that I might be better putting the original wheels back on my car and selling the Wheelmania Monaco Wheels I bought for the car seperately.

 

The alloys are a specifc Supra fitment :)

 

These DO CLEAR UK BRAKES and most other big brake kits.

 

The alloys have done about 60 miles in total, as have the brand new Falken FK452 Tyres they come with. Both are as new and mint. Not been anywhere near a kerb to have any kerb marks! Everything is as new!

 

The alloy details are:

 

FRONT:

 

8.5" Wide

Offset 35

 

Fitted with Falken FK-452 245/40/19 Tyres

REAR:

 

10" Deep Dish

Offset 45

 

Fitted with Falken FK-452 285/35/19 Tyres

 

I deliberately chose a slightly larger sidewall on the tyres for that bit of extra ride comfort and it was a setup recommended on the US Supraforums. This is called the "Fat Tyre" setup and going from 17" stock to 19" alloys I have noticed no difference in ride comfort at all and the alloys are better protected from pot holes too.

 

These alloys come complete with all centre caps, wheel nuts and a set of locking wheel nuts I bought

 

These alloys with tyres cost me £1450. I am willing to let them go for £1200 which is a bargain for someone.

 

I really would prefer to meet up with someone and get these wheels fitted to their car, but if we have to post I can get these posted to anywhere in mainland UK for £35.

 

These alloys were specifically designed for a Supra.

Hi bud, just wanted to contribute to what you where saying about your rear tyres. I fitted 35 profile rear tyres to the 19s on my old car instead of 30 profile to improve ride comfort. It worked a treat with no noticeable difference in handling (they were Toyo T1Rs though)

Had a few requests for pictures of each tyre/lip. As I have mentioned everything is as new and the tyres have a full 8mm thread on them. :D

Been let down and I have already bought some replacements so I am willing to do a deal at £1000. Thats a saving of £400 from what I paid. The car has not been anywhere for weeks (as you can tell by the rust on the brake discs..lol) , so the wheels and tyres have still only done 80ish miles.

 

BARGAIN! :D

:( ebay!

 

They ended my auction early because I stated in the auction that if someone wanted to pay via PayPal they would have to pay the fees due the large amount. I would rather not use PayPal as a payment for the wheels, yet as a seller you are now forced to accept PayPal as an accepted method of payment! :crybaby: Said I was deliberatley trying to avoid their fees!

 

Anyway,

 

Now back on:

Looks like the tyre sizes are putting people off. Don't see why.

 

This user has the same rear tyre size and even wider fronts!

I researching into tyre sizes extensively before deciding on which tyres to go for. If you check the US Supra forum the yanks love the so called "fat tire" setup not just because of the comfort but also the grip.

 

An email I got from a US Supra Tuner

 

A fat tire setup will help out TONS, as well as better comfort, they also give you more "grip" to launch - a thinner sidewall is good for looks and driving around a circuit but for straight line traction, especially once you're BPU, you'll find you're going to spin the wheels VERY easily. If you go with the Fat Tire setup, you'll get a bit more sidewall around 5-7mm depending on tyre, more ride comfort and Falken's tend to have a nice stiff sidewall to begin with so you'll still be able to drive around bends with tons of grip to spare.

 

I would rather do that, then have rubber bands on my tyres and be worried about potholes all the time and buckled rims. Not sure why the UK owners haven't discovered this yet. Also the difference to the speedo will be around 5%, BUT the standard Supra/Aristo speedo over reads by about 7% anyway, so your speed will actually be MORE ACCURATE. I went from standard 17" rims to these 19" rims and noticed that the speedo was like my BMW; virtually bang on with my GPS.

 

Also remember the alloys have a et45 at the the rear so should tuck in nicely just flush with the wheel arch and not cause you any rubbing, even with the wider tyre. Cheaper rims seem to be et35. If you do have a slight rub, then the wheels are cheap enough for you to get your arches slightly rolled if need be.

Your link dont work, nothing wrong with 285/35/19 but you may have to trim the arch.

 

Hi mate,

 

Thanks for the info with a 45 offset on the rear I am almost cetain you won't have to touch the arches but obviously depends on how much the car is lowered...........:eyebrows:

 

Looking for £1k or as near as possible. These have been off the car for a while now and are just sat at a mates garages ready for collection. :D
