offset for uk spec calipers and new wheels

[-Welsh-Stealth-]

hi im just woundering what the offset is for the uk spec brakes?

as im thinking about getting some new wheels/alloys. hopefully some nice lightweight racing alloys. anybody got any sugestions on where to look? or what sort of alloys would fit the UK spec brakes?

It's not as simple as just the offset, it depends on the width, design, dish and thickness of the spokes, etc.

 

I can recommend the Weds SA-70 wheels, they easily clear the larger brakes, are light in weight (around 8kg each) and good value for money, available in either bronze or black chrome finish.

 

Pics of the bronze ones on my car HERE, pic of the black chrome ones HERE

Most Japanese wheel manufacturers will specify the ideal sizes and offsets for the Supra. If you find a model you want then the trader should be able to specify what spec you need.
