Re: Trd2000gt wheel size

The only wheel set I thought properly complimented the 2000GT was the first set mounted and specifically created for it when the car was introduced at the Toyota Import Auto Salon in the early 90s: the C5 wheel in 18x8.5"/19x9.5" (unknown offsets). Those sizes were almost revolutionary in ...

Re: Track day wheels/tyres advice

I'd still be inclined to use 225 rear tyres if possible. Those OZ Racing wheels give you more options for tyre sizes, give you a slightly wider track front & rear and are scads lighter than the OEM clunker wheels. I'd stick w/ the OZs for sure.

Re: Alloy sizes

I am about to invest in a new set of 17 "alloys for my mkII tubby! I am struggling with what sizes look the best!... 'Look the best' is subjective. If it's looks you want then I'd go for a 17" all around or 17/18" combo. If it's performance then I'd go not as big because they get too...

Re: [Mk1] 17 inch wheels rubbing

You can easily run spacers to fix that problem, this will push out the wheel more towards the fender and clear your spring perch. Your first order of business is figuring out what your offset is. Try popping the wheel off and checking for any stamps inside near the hub or the spokes, or if you're la...

Re: Car Hacks & Mods for Dummies

Under-rated book. I've owned it since ealy last year. It presents wise advice & details without insulting you like some of those 'Dummies' series have a tendency to do. It even has some specific brand name recommendations. IMO, at that price it's a must-have for tuners. _________________________...

Re: bigger wheels

While it's true 17x8" is harder to find, it's worth it because the car's worth it. :)

17x7 ET35 and 17x8 ET35 with 215/40 and 235(245)/40 will be a problem free fit and will fill up the wheel wells much better than your current setup - it's closer to flush in the rear, less so in the front.

Re: Another tyre thread, some expert advice please.

You definitely need more meat all around. I'd stick your rears on the front and slide into some 235/40 or 245/40 for the rear (if it's an 8" width wheel).

Re: anyone running 9.5j rims on rear?

17x9.5" will need ET42+ for optimum fit. ET35 will rub the fender for sure on a stock setup unless you use slope shouldered tires like 235/40 Dunlops or something of that sort.

Re: Kahn RS-R, anyone had them, would this work?

I'm afraid I wouldn't be much help in the $$$ dept. as I'm in Canada. For what it's worth, they cost CDN$180.00 for the 17x7 and a bit over CDN$200.00 for the 17x8.

One more thing, they're heavy as sin.

Here's another shot:

Greetings, fellow members!

My name is Pete and I live in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada. I own a '91 hardtop turbo with '93 suspension (springs/shocks/bumpstops) and '93 brakes. I'm riding on Kosei K1 racing wheels in 15x7" (225/50) and 16x8.5" (245/45) trim. I also like to make dumb videos of the meets we have...

Re: suspension?

Given your criteria you could always get new OEM '93+ shocks and springs. The shocks are Bilstein and they're way underrated. That combo will lower the car more than your '92 and stiffen the ride a bit but it'll still be comfy-womfy for a daily.

Re: buckled alloy - advice needed!

Last year I went over a particularly bad pot-hole with these 17x8 245/40s and ended up with this:

Needless to say, I had to get a new one.

Re: Kahn RS-R, anyone had them, would this work?

Italian VOXX MGRs are the exact same blueprint as the Kahn RSR which is also known as the MAS President in North America. They came in 17x7 and 17x8 ET40 in the Voxx and 17x10 in the MAS.
