How were you even able to install them if the spokes hit the calipers? You shouldn't even be able to get them on the hubs.
Maybe with a small spacer you'd get them to fit properly.
I'd be gutted about the damage to the calipers though.
I've seen a few threads where they were installed under the hood, but I don't want some loose wire hanging by the engine all year round. I went into the trunk and the positive cable has a stud specifically to hook up accessories on. Pull off the red cap and there's a nut underneath.
I installed...
Well I tested it this morning. The car has a cold start engine protection. It has a delayed rev so you don't over rev it while it's cold. When the car is hot you can rev it all you want.
It doesn't kick in later, it reaches peak torque later. 200 whole rpm. You can't tell the difference between the 2. 200 rpm in 1st gear is like 0.01 seconds lol. And after that you're always in the power band. So it's a non issue.
You're right, there isn't. Peak torque in the Supra is at 1600 rpm, while an NA engine like in the Toyota 86 has peak torque in the 6000 rpm range. That's lag lol.
The "lag" on the 2021's is exactly 200 rpm :rofl: which you don't notice.
The lag you're talking about, and having to be in the 3k+ rpm range, is because that car had a single scroll turbo. And mk5 Supra's have a twin scroll turbo. Has nothing to do with the compression ratio.
You can use the same width and offset as the 3.0 wheels, just buy them in 18 inch instead of 19. So if you'd want a little wider and flush, you could go 18x9.5+25 for the front and 18x10.5+32 for the rear. And you can fit your stock tires on them easily.
Not as much as it hurt me to wait 8 months and see that :rofl:
But the dealership was excellent. The part was ordered that day, and everything was done perfectly. Shit happens, and I wasn't upset about it, it just sucked.
