David Reid Posted August 4, 2008 Share Posted August 4, 2008 9.5*18 BBS LM Silver with polished lip ET32 265/35/18 all round Front tyres are barely legal, rear have less than 2K miles No vibrations and all wheels are straight There is no laquer peeling, just some minor kurbing These alloys are hugely expensive new, I am looking for 1500 for the set The wheels are off my R33 GTR, but I think the offset suits the supra better. Here are some pics http://www.magix-photos.com/mediapool21/C9/BF/81/E0/42/8B/11/DB/86/18/48/96/52/13/B9/E6/oma/10/C59459E05C1711DDBF694F17521E5DE2.jpg http://www.magix-photos.com/mediapool21/C9/BF/81/E0/42/8B/11/DB/86/18/48/96/52/13/B9/E6/oma/10/C65D28205C1711DDA73A3DE0521E5DE2.jpg Edit more pics added http://www.magix-photos.com/mediapool21/C9/BF/81/E0/42/8B/11/DB/86/18/48/96/52/13/B9/E6/oma/10/5F732FB0626B11DDB3727C5A521E5DE2.jpg http://www.magix-photos.com/mediapool21/C9/BF/81/E0/42/8B/11/DB/86/18/48/96/52/13/B9/E6/oma/10/602BD150626B11DD8470F78D521E5DE2.jpg http://www.magix-photos.com/mediapool21/C9/BF/81/E0/42/8B/11/DB/86/18/48/96/52/13/B9/E6/oma/10/5E9F16D0626B11DD8D7AEB52521E5DE2.jpg http://www.magix-photos.com/mediapool21/C9/BF/81/E0/42/8B/11/DB/86/18/48/96/52/13/B9/E6/oma/10/5DCC0F60626B11DD805A27B2521E5DE2.jpg http://www.magix-photos.com/mediapool21/C9/BF/81/E0/42/8B/11/DB/86/18/48/96/52/13/B9/E6/oma/10/5C13FF20626B11DDB860524E521E5DE2.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex Posted August 4, 2008 Share Posted August 4, 2008 Just a heads up, unlike the 4wd skyline the Supra requires different widths front and rear. So a 9.5J rear and 8.5J front. A Supra owner may still buy then, up to them, but it wouldn't be ideal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A Supra owner may still buy then, up to them, but it wouldn't be ideal. When you say need you mean from a handling point of view? As this could be acheived by running the 265's on the rear and 225's on the front to change the contact patch. I intend to run 9.5*18's all round on my supra I was going to use ET30 and with the above tyre combo and they look like they will go on with minimal arch rolling If I get a chance I'll try these on the supra and put some pics up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex Posted August 4, 2008 Share Posted August 4, 2008 Yes you can run different tyre widths but I'm just saying it's not optimal to run 4 wheels the same size. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry dont take this the wrong way, but why? It shouldn't make any difference and doesnt on many other rwd cars for example 200sx's which often run the same width wheels front and rear.

And how the OEM set the suspension up to start with. That's why. I'm not trying to stop your sale, but I just wanted to highlight these are less optimal than staggered front rear sets. Someone on here may decide they want them at any cost. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lockys96 Posted August 4, 2008 Share Posted August 4, 2008 i sold a set with correct offsets for a supra with all good premium tyres for £800. i know someone is only prepared to pay what they will pay for them. but isnt that still quite a lot of dosh for wheels which wont suit a supra Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Branners Posted August 4, 2008 Share Posted August 4, 2008 some NAs came with same size wheels all round, some came with the wider rears. Not sure what models it applies to but some did come that way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Reid Posted August 4, 2008 Author Share Posted August 4, 2008 Just to show they do suit the supra here are some pics of them on. If you sold a good set of 18 LM's for 800 someone had a bargain, I already have 2 offers of over 1K. (these wheels are over 1K each new). If I dont get close to my asking price they will go on ebay next week. Just thought I would give someone from the this forum the chance 1st as they look really great on a supra.
