Sam_Q Posted November 14, 2008 Report Share Posted November 14, 2008 oops I made a typo, I meant a +10 to +20offset, otherwise that would be one hell of a rolled lip! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Queen20v Posted November 14, 2008 Author Report Share Posted November 14, 2008 Ha ha, thanks guys. :hmm: Reckon if I have to roll the lip, I might as well flare the guards though. I either want to leave the guards stock as a rock or do a really decent job. Our panel beater says to bring him the wheels and he'll fit them to the car by cutting sections, pulling the guard out and welding in new wedges. He's awesome though so it won't be a dodgy job. We are hoping to fit 15x8s with about 3-3.5inches of polished dish. Does anyone have photos of some of these - offset wheels that have been fitted with minimal work? I'm open to being convinced. :lolcry: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adam-__- Posted November 14, 2008 Report Share Posted November 14, 2008 (edited) 15x8s normally come with a zero offset or lower and a zero offset on a 8" wide wheel will give you about 3.5-4" of dish already, so you'll be sweet. I'll try to find some pictures of my car with different specs to give you an idea of how things sit. Edit: This is a 15x7.5 -8 wheel wearing 185/55 tyres. Front suspension, 86 struts and corona lower control arms. 14mm socket. Below is/are 15x7 +5 wheels with 185/55 tyre, same suspension as the above photos. New springs in this photo. Below are photos of those 7" wide wheels out back. 14mm socket once again, note the flared guards (dodgy, I know). And below are photos of the 7.5" -:lolcry: out back. Yeah, rears are flared with a pole, fronts.. just hammered the lip down. Hope that helps. Edited November 14, 2008 by adam-__- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd love to have a look. Yeah it's pretty overrated. Few little things to do but nothing to complain about considering it's 25 years old! Adam, Cheers for those pics. Love your fender mirrors too. Where'd you find them? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adam-__- Posted November 15, 2008 Report Share Posted November 15, 2008 Fender mirrors were picked up from the local Super Cheap Auto store. Paid $45 or so for the pair. Let me know if you'd like my pictures removed, feel like I've flooded your thread with my car that's all. :lolcry: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
benzo Posted November 15, 2008 Report Share Posted November 15, 2008 Yeah my opinion leave the guards stock. As much as I'd like to see some fat wheels under there its too good. I am looking for some 14x7.5 mk2's, watanabes or starsharks for my ae71 with an offset around -10, and they're gonna need a fair bit of work to fit under the guards Whats the badge on the grille btw? Cheers, Ben. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Queen20v Posted November 15, 2008 Author Report Share Posted November 15, 2008 Adam, you're not flooding my thread at all! I'll take a close up photo of the badge for you, Ben. It's really wierd. At first I just thought it was an old JAF badge that had faded but it says something about Scotland... Really wanna see your car. Are you going to be at the cruise tomorrow? I saw this cornflower blue ke20 two days ago. The couple who owned it were in their 50s. It's only the second car he's ever owned. Bought it in 1970 for $2000. I thought of you straight away. You would've loved it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah thought JAF at first too but yeh looked again it wasnt lol. never seen one before either Haha yeh I seen that KE20 before, considered asking if they wanted to sell, but I actually did stop myself. Oh and btw I am not at the cruise obviously haha, finished work later than expected and had to do some other stuff. :lolcry: Cheers, Ben.

Queen20v Posted November 16, 2008 Author Report Share Posted November 16, 2008 Ha ha, I was the same. Thought about offering them money but reminded myself that I have 3 corollas sitting in the driveway already and not one of them looks the way I want it to yet! Missed you at the show and shine :lolcry:. Met Martin with your old rolla. That is one sweet ride. :hmm: Will you be at the Victor Harbour cruise?

benzo Posted November 16, 2008 Report Share Posted November 16, 2008 Haha I was the same, had 3 Corollas then. If it was overrated I wouldn't have been able to resist but its not that good. Martin? Mitch maybe? lol yeh its pretty killer now, sorta wish I kept it, finding it really hard to find another KE20 better than that was. Might see if I can make it to the victa cruise ay, I'm really keen to get out on a cruise as I havent been for a good year. But I always get caught up with work, family commitments or selling/working on cars lol Should be able to make it though, will either be in my granny AE71 or new ride lol. Keep an eye out for me in my AE71 daily Queen, always cruising around, and theres not too many like mine lol Cheers, Ben. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
