Will Supra TT rims fit? - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

*Grant* · 12-15-2001, 06:35 PM

They are 17x9 in the back (255/40/17 tires) and 17x8 in the front (235/45/17). I dont know what the offset is, but i was just wondering if they are going to clear? will they be too wide in the back? Any info is appreciated, thanks.

so does that mean they will?

S14 has a bolt pattern of 5x4.5", which is the same
the offset, however is 40mm vs 50 for the supra.

i guess it will fit, but 9" seems kinda wide for that car. i could be wrong.

8 and a 1/2 fits ok so u SHOULD be able to get away with it but the fronts will most likely rub

Those widths will fit (I think the widest being run on a US S14 will be 9" up front and 10.5" in the rear) but the offsets will not. You need something around 30mm-35mm for the optimum fit.

can I use spacers? discount tire and other places say they have a 27mm offset. ( thats what they use for aftermarket rims).

Offset is dependant on width. You will need ~20mm spacers. You will also need longer wheels studs. H&R spacers are $100 a piece for the 20mm units, and ARP studs are $12 for a pack of 5. They can only be used with Honda and GM thread pitch, so you are now going to have to invest in some new lug nuts ($50). Spacers are generally ill advised, especially the wider ones. They can negatively affect brake cooling and can throw off your balance if not hub-centric (I believe that the H&R are). With all the money you will wind up spending, it would be better just to buy some wheels with a proper offset, but don't let me stop you. If you want to make it work, go for it, and you can be the first one to have JZA80 wheels on an S14.:biggrin:
