Tire size info dump.
As mentioned above 285 is a slight stretch on the wheels YES. I'll attach a picture to show you what 285s look like on the wheels as I ended up using the same sizing on my c5.
The next hurdle is our Traction control, ABS, and making sure the speedo is still reading...
Alright boys I'm sizing up some tires that I'll likely place on order next week. Stock size in the front for the supra is 255/35/19 while the rears sit at 275/35/19
For the C8 wheels I'm thinking I'll be going 235/35/19 (wheel is thinner therefore thinner tire) and in the rear I could be...
Previously in the thread I stated I'm getting custom spacers. I'm fitting these wheels because I love the design of them. Don't you think there's enough supras on welds and TE-37s? Let's open up the creativity box a little more and dare to explore.
Well boys. Here is the FIRST mock up. I was correct on my second guess of 25mm spacers both front and rear.
I'll get those ordered, as far as tires go I think in the front a square setup is going to work fine no stretch. In the rear a slight amount of stretch will give me a little extra room...
It's just about time to mock up boys. Not only got the wheels and center caps 2 days early but also have someone coming by to deposit different size spacers for me for mock up... moments away from greatness.
Also to reference a moment earlier in the thread YES 11" wide and +64mm offset...
Exactly that.
I'll have you know luckily because I work in dealer networks I ordered 4 new sterling silver OEM center caps at $103.04. In my opinion if you're going to be ridiculous at least do it thoroughly.
In other news I pick up the wheels for sure this weekend. I have a good friend who...
So it is a little later in the day and I want to update this thread because I want people to follow along for the bullshittery. This is purely for memes and could be a waste of my time, but I started this thread so for the sake of everyone who may see it I am going to follow through in case...
Based off your profile picture It seems like you track the car, and I would agree almost an inch spacer is massive if you're driving the car how you likely drive yours. Especially from a performance aspect. For a street car as long as you're getting a good spacer that is hub-centric I would...
Also note if you are +40 and 11" wide and have a 1/4" of clearance that means by running a ~24mm spacer I'd be within the fender and still have that clearance. I'm not saying IT WILL FOR SURE WORK AND LOOK GREAT. I'm just referencing the fact that it is still within the ballpark of possibility.
That is pretty good fitment in the rear! I'll have to consider my options for the front as I don't want to run too massive of a spacer. The rears will be easy as far as the math is concerned. a 15mm spacer on the C8 wheels would make it pretty flush in the rear like in your photo. Why the OEM...
Hey guys, nice to meet you all. I'm working on something some might think is a little outlandish, but for those of us into OE or awesome aftermarket wheels I figured I would share for the masses. Last summer I had a C5 corvette that I purchased C8 wheels for and wrapped in C7Z sized tires. I...
