Worry about EVERYTHING.






























Nah guy, the bolt pattern matches, so you're all set. With that size and offset, you won't have to worry about rubbing or fitment issues, just slap the suckers on.

Wow, it's so hard to pick out a set out of wheels. Got my eye on these: http://xxrwheels.com/xxr_521.shtml

Thinking about 18x8,5 ET15 with 205/40/18 up front and 18x10 ET20 back with 225/40/18. Will this work? Car will be on BC Racing coilovers, my guess is it needs a bit of neg camber (at least in the rear).

ive been into hellaflush since the beginning of 2010, and being trying hard to make my car hellaflush, i love the stretch n poke style, currently my car is slammed on ebay coilover sleeves, but im saving up for the ground control sleeves and koni yellow struts, for moar low!, this is how she looks currently on my 5zigen gn+ wheels, 17x8.5,

GC coils wont get you more low than the ebay sleeves you have on now. Bite your lip and save $300 more and you can get Megan coils Trust me these coils can slam the 6.





10" wide in the rear?? Seriously If you have a FOUR than that wouldnt be a problem. 8" wide is plenty enough for a fwd 6

I don't really care if it's "plenty" though.

If u get 18s, u would have to run camber and fender roll like crazy

what happens when your original studs extend past the face of the spacer?

it seems as if you would need to get smaller studs.
so in reality the spacers arent truly \"bolt on\" correct?



EDIT
after talking to a friend I was told that most aftermarket wheels have a pocket on the hub mount face that would allow the original studs to poke out a bit

you can see the cleaner area on this rays wheel would be the pocket

You'll want spacers. About 10-15mm depending on the width of the wheels.

small bump for anyone that has run into the issue I posted above

Yes some wheels have extra 5 holes for the studs.to come out. My older rims didnt have those holes so i had to grind the studs about 3-4mm and make it flush with the spacer. Now the only studs that sick out are the ones the holds the wheel.
If you wanna do this grind the stud with the nut bolted all the way down. and when you finish grinding you will remove the nut and fix the thread by removing the nut if its damaged.
Thats what i did and worked good im using 25mm spacers on the back

Hello 6GC, hope u guys can help,

i just purchased Miro stp1 Rims, size-17x10 all around with an offset of 25, and falken ze-912 215/35zr17 Tires, pictures below...
i have alot of wheel shops around my area that are telling me its not possible to mount them,..according to the info givien in this sticky
i should be able to =) Now here is my confusion, for the front riding on 10' my offset should be et+45mm, if my offset on the rims are 25,
does this mean i need 20mm spacers to add up to +45mm,.and for the rear i will need a 5mm spacer...? not sure how to calculate the offsets.

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.
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.)

FOR THE REAR WHEELS ONLY **You need to roll your fenders for all of these.
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)

They wont fit man sorry.. they are already et20 if you add 20mm spacers the offset will become et0 and is going to stick out more. When you add spacers the offset goes lower no higher.
They will fit but you wont be able to lower it too much because even if you roll the fenders tbe wheels will hit because they are going to be sticking out a lot! Tbey are nice wheela though!

i bet he could do it if he worked on the fender quite a bit, and found the sweet spot with the camber and ride height

its definitely not plug and play though

Your going to need some SERIOUS fender work, and lots of luck, to have this coming even close to fitting..

Do it

they are actually et25, dont know if that will change anything, but thanks alot on the info,.. i guess the image i had in my head of what they would look like on my car isnt possible. so i wouldnt even be able to ride with them with oem suspension...?



yea i now see that its not gonna be easy and a lil more costly than the rims themselves..
any ideas where i might be able to get some camber kits ?



im gonna have to search and find a good shop for this.. question is, how much can i pull a fender before it starts looking ridiculous..


LOL, this made me laugh, im gonna try my best.. very determined !

just pull it and find out!

I was talking about this with Garin another member...I am not sure if you have the resources/time/huevos
to cut the fender and put custom over fenders on the car.
I was always curious to see what thatd look like

Can you even get celica overfenders? lol

maybe i will ride fenderless,.. jk
but today i will put them on and take down some measurments and see what are my options,..
ill post up pics for suggestions...
