jackso11 Posted November 10, 2005 Share Posted November 10, 2005 I know the ad says they will fit, but there are so many contradictions on here about what size wheels fit (offset ect) that I really have no idea what is a good set up and what they boundries are, as in 35 - 45 etc.. http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/18-AXE-PACKAGE-FIT-SKYLINE-GTR-MITSUBISHI-3000-SUPRA_W0QQitemZ8013728484QQcategoryZ72255QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markrzs Posted November 10, 2005 Share Posted November 10, 2005 The offset for 4 wheels is 50mm i believe, someone else will probably tell you more Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jake Posted November 10, 2005 Share Posted November 10, 2005 They'll fit alright but they aren't the best quality wheels. I've got a set of those but the finish is really delicate and easily damaged by brake dust. Mine are in a terrible state after I left the car dirty while working away for a fortnight. The brake dust just ate away the thin chrome effect layer on the lip. They're also heavy compared to say Lexus gs300Sport wheels. The tyres you would get in that package would be like Nankang or somesuch. I would advise to keep saving mate. Better to spend a bit more and get some decent wheels with good quality tyres.

jackso11 Posted November 10, 2005 Author Share Posted November 10, 2005 Bargain! the off set is the same as the others so I am guessing these would fit....am I right? Sorry...I don't know much about wheels http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/OZ-8-18-5-100-ET35-super-Turismo-alloy-wheel-golf-fit_W0QQitemZ8012505983QQcategoryZ72255QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Scooby_Don't Posted November 10, 2005 Share Posted November 10, 2005 They won't fit as there 5x100 stud you need 5x114. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jackso11 Posted November 10, 2005 Author Share Posted November 10, 2005 goodd point....well made. haha would it have fit? I think I am looking at 8J front 9J back, 5 stud and an offset of 35 - 40....am I right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GazzaGSi Posted November 11, 2005 Share Posted November 11, 2005 Belived the offset was 50mm. But like you, have read many different things on here. Question for ppl - if the offset is 50mm and you buy a wheel with an offset of 35mm would you need a 15mm spacer? or would a 15mm spacer make it a 20mm offset? Think ive confused myself lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
garethr Posted November 11, 2005 Share Posted November 11, 2005 A 15mm spacer would make it a 20mm offset. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tbourner Posted November 11, 2005 Share Posted November 11, 2005 If the wheel offset is smaller than the offset required, the wheel will stick out more, correct? Are there any negative offsets on wheels? That'd confuse things even more!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

supradibbs Posted November 11, 2005 Share Posted November 11, 2005 just buy my blitz's...... ..........they'd look great on a black supra now there a lovely set of wheels i agree buy scooters wheels Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jackso11 Posted November 13, 2005 Author Share Posted November 13, 2005 Scooter, I do agree they are nice wheels. But I don't really think the 'bling' factor of gold wheels is for me. Although at a good price I might be persuaded. PM me with your current asking price and details of the tyres How much do you recon It would cost to get them custom painted silver? Saying that gold does look good on black. Do they need a recon? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blitz supra Posted November 13, 2005 Share Posted November 13, 2005 Wheel offsets work as follows The larger the number e.g 50mm the wheel will sit further into the arch and possibly foul the calipers the smaller the offset number e.g 35mm the further the wheel will sit out of the arch. Many people get this the wrong way around And don't forget to make sure you are supplied the correct hub spigots with the wheels as well I beleive the Supra is 60mm A useful company i used that supply wheels @ very compeitive prices and also sell on e=-bay are as follows http://www.performancealloys.com Go on this site click on Alloy wheel bar at top FIND BY SIZE click on 18 in wheel section advanti racing wheels wheels 5 spokes with polished lip £109.00 each, first on page CLICK FOR DETAILS You will see a pic of my Supra under customers cars next to pic of wheel Excellent wheels and service ( next day) c/w with all nuts and spigots Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
