Fitment question for XXR 527
 
Hello everyone! I was wondering if 18x9.75 +20 (tires:235/40/18?) on the rear would work for the FR-S.... in the front i want to go for 18x8.75 +35 (Tires:225/40/18?).

I have these same wheels for use on my Supra. Unfortunately I dont think you'll have any shot at fitting the 9.75 +20 without a great deal of gaurd work, rear camber and stretch. Not worth it on a new car IMHO.

the 8.5 +35 should fit all round nicely though.

these are the wheels i am thinking of going.

are they any good spiller?

they look sweet. copy of wedsSA70 and weigh fuck all. I was considering a set of 8.5 +35 for my 86 but the wheels are on huge back order world wide so its pretty much impossible to get a set.

@spiller, Thank you for your input! I got one more question... What if i went for the +20 offset over the +30... so 18x8.75 +20 all around!

RyleyMA61 06-27-2012 04:39 AM

impossible to get a set aye? where can i find some piccies of your supra?

I dunno whether the gunmetal or a silver would look best on the dark grey metallic...

@ooharloo I cant give you an accurate comment and I havent played around with offsets on these cars myself yet but I think 8.75 +20 would be pushing it. if it was a +30 id say you'd be fine but 8.75 +35 would be the safest bet if you dont want to do any fender work (may still need a light roll depending on tyres). At the end of the day, aggressive widths and offsets work to a certain extent but it depends what sort of suspension and fender mods you're prepared to do.

@RyleyMA61 sorry mate I dont have any pics of them on the supra yet because they're still sitting in the box they came in. I have the flat black though. My brother has the gunmetal (its actually a shadow chrome - shiny finish) on his silver Evo and I would pick them over the silver (actually I dont think they offer a straight silver?). TBH though, if you really want to set the car off you cant got past black on grey! :D

to give you an idea of the colour scheme as my supra is a similar colour to what your 86 will be...

Also try ebay, last time I looked there were a few sets available in Aus but there was a bit of mark up on them, I think asking around 1100 for a set.

RyleyMA61 07-04-2012 10:35 PM

Yeah ebay there was a set... .they're gone now though?!

That 70 looks wicked... I still want one... and a MA47... and JZA80...

I reckon I might go with TSW interlagos now... Simple yet effective?! Black of course...
