So you want to be Dope Status now? Maybe your life goal is to make it on HellaFlush, well this is the offset numbers you need for that to happen.

First: You will need to run stretched tires for this to work and preferably a nicely lowered car.......... Or 4x4 your car and run it Donk status. I don't care, but you will have to choose one of those options.


FOR THE FRONT WHEELS ONLY **Your fronts should have been rolled from the factory. 9.0+ will probably need a bit of a roll to crush the plastic liner in a bit.
Width ---------- Offset (et)
6.0" ---------- et-5mm
6.5" ---------- et 0mm
7.0" ---------- et+10mm
7.5" ---------- et+15mm
8.0" ---------- et+22mm
8.5" ---------- et+27mm
9.0" ---------- et+33mm (you will be cutting it close with the strut. May need to start running negative camber at this point)
9.5" ---------- et+40mm (you will be cutting it close with the strut. Probably need to start running negative camber at this point)
10.0" ---------- et+45mm (At this point, you will need negative camber, a good fender pull and probably better off with a +35ish offset and going with wide fenders.)
10.5" ---------- et+50mm (At this point, you will need negative camber, a good fender pull and probably better off with a +35ish offset and going with wide fenders.)



FOR THE REAR WHEELS ONLY **You need to roll your fenders for all of these.
Width ---------- Offset (et)
6.0" ---------- et-20mm
6.5" ---------- et-15mm
7.0" ---------- et-8mm
7.5" ---------- et-2mm
8.0" ---------- et+5mm
8.5" ---------- et+10mm
9.0" ---------- et+18mm
9.5" ---------- et+23mm
10.0" ---------- et+30mm (Will start to cut it close with the strut. Negative camber may be needed. My best guess is you will be alright)
10.5" ---------- et+36mm (At this point, you will probably hit strut. Negative camber is needed. Probably would want to run a lower offset and just pull the crap out of your rear fender to make it tuck.)


As for tires, I highly suggest you run 45 series tires and I HIGHLY recommend Falken 512s. They handle stretching very well.


These numbers will make your wheel flush with the body. If you want to wheel to poke then run a lower offset then I have listed. This in turn means you need to run a smaller diameter tire and some negative camber.




Spacers:
For those of you who need a 25mm spacer or larger for your look. I suggest A-Dapt-It USA (http://adaptitusa.com/) or Motorsport Technologies (http://www.motorsport-tech.com/)
The A-Dapt-It's will be cheaper and will be lug centric to the wheel. Motorsport Tech can make you hubcentric to hubcentric adapters which are double the cost of A-Dapt-It's. Either choice is fine, I run lug centric and so do plenty of other people. Toyota still ships cars off the assembly line with lug centric wheels. Don't let the scare tactics of hubcentric or die mess with your head. With lug centric you just need to tighten your lugnuts in the standard star pattern starting from the top.

I need to roll my finders so bad. But they sent me a box full of **** and I don't know how to put em together. They didnt send instructions either. But I def want to put them on in the mean time

LOVE ITTTTT!!!!!! i wanted to get these soo bad until i found a great deal on GTS wheels.

wheels look dope bro

def will look into a set of them if i pick up another celi.

how much they run you if you dont mind me asking?

and did u order them from diamond wheel racing or w.e it is?

Yeah there the DRW pro series. All together it was about 400 dollars

As in 400 for just the wheels or is that with tires too? i wouldnt mind snatching up a pair of these for auto-x this summer, and damn they do look good

No tires sense they were 15's. I just used the tires from my stock rims. I dont know if you want them for auto x there super heavy the website said 18 pounds a piece! way heavier then stock.

looks like im a month too late

Alright guys, I'm bringing this back so that I can make an educated decision on big wheels. I'm not looking for hella-flush, I just want big beefy wheels and tires to fill out the wells...

Big Wheels

The question is what will I need to get a +42 offset on these 9" wheels to fit on the my Abby (96 GT on eibach prolines w/GR2s)?

Stock offset isn't +42? I thought it was +35? Whatever. Just get an offset between 20-30 and you'll look good (depending on size). I have 17x8 +35 in the front and need about 5mm for flush. Same setup for the rears and need 10mm for flush.

pretty sure no one on this site has put a 9" width in the front. you would be the first.

Really? There's no one here with 9" wheels on their car?

how will an 18x7.5 with a +45 offset fit? Will i need any spacers to make them sit pretty flush? Im not looking to cut or roll my fenders.

up to 9.5" has been done in the rear, but 8.5" is the highest for the front (as far as i know, and i have researched this a lot)

i think someone had some 9" wide crome rims in the front. it was a while back though...




dude, you'll need 20-25mm spacers. i dont know why people choose such high offsets....plus didn't someone mention that +45 wouldn't clear?

Honestly, that's really disappointing. I wonder if its different for the SuperStrut suspension....

Tell me about it. This exact wheel and size (17x9 +30) comes in 5x100 and is inexpensive, and I think it would look great on a celica! Someone please try it!

^ Those would look utterly clean on my Celi...resprayed, of course.

what wheels are those? they're sexy as hell!

They look like Rota Torques

I thought about picking up a set that was 18X9.5 with a +35 offset. I may try to fit those as one of my buddies has a set on his 2J powered Cressida

I have 17x7.5, ET45 with 215-40-17 tires and they clear just fine, there's plenty of room. I wouldn't imagine that an extra inch of diameter would make them not fit. I cannot wait to get rid of them in the Fall, I'm getting a set of Drag DR-31, 17x8, ET35. They look exactly like Rota Torques.
