Nostalgia Posted September 25, 2012 Report Share Posted September 25, 2012 Anyone know what the offset is for these? I'm looking into getting widened steelies made up, but can only go 25mm either way of the original offset and get 7inch wide MAX (unless someone knows where I could find bigger bands?) so I'm trying to do the maths.

Tally Posted September 25, 2012 Report Share Posted September 25, 2012 stock KE2# wheel offset is +20, same as 4x110 mazda's Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nostalgia Posted September 26, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 26, 2012 Cheers Tally! So 13 x 7 -5 steelies, 165/55 rubber for a little stretch? There's not much room on a 7 for stretch but that's the widest this guy will do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jono.C Posted September 26, 2012 Report Share Posted September 26, 2012 If you can wait 2 weeks or so you trial fit my 13x7 0's with 165/55's :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nostalgia Posted September 26, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 26, 2012 Jono that would be mad, thanks man! I can wait, don't like jumping into spending large amounts anyway, would rather be sure :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jono.C Posted September 26, 2012 Report Share Posted September 26, 2012 All good man. :) good photo op for both our corolla's! Â What made you choose 165/55? You'd have to go very low with a '26 for them I reckon! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nostalgia Posted September 26, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 26, 2012 Yeah, heaps of photos!  I've just been mucking around on Will-it-Fit, then looking on tyre websites for availability, and reading around on places like ae86dc. Heaps of people on there were b*tching about how stretch on 7 is stupid, and someone posted a photo of a ksev with 13x7 -30 with 165/55! Scroll down to beige http://www.ae86drivingclub.com.au/forums/showthread.php/645-The-Wheel-Fitment-Thread/page2?highlight=fitment  Obviously it's not heaps of stretch, but I can't find or afford anything bigger than 7 in 4x110. Sometimes I think that 55 is too narrow, but anything bigger and I'll lose the aesthetics I'm looking for.  I was thinking about the lows as well, I've been considering Lowered King springs with a coil or 2 cut off, and 2.5 or 3in blocks in the rear.  I guess when we test fit yours we can make that judgment :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jono.C Posted September 26, 2012 Report Share Posted September 26, 2012 I struggled trying to find 165/55's in Tas.. Â You can get Nankangs through Sparco in town! 6 week wait though.. Â 175/60 are a good option as well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nostalgia Posted September 26, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 26, 2012 (edited) How much for the 165/55s through Sparco? And are 175/60 more available?  I know you mentioned needing lots of lowz because of small tyres, but I love this. Maybe you've seen it  http://jdm-racing.blogspot.com.au/2010/07/oldschool-crown-wagon.html  :lovin: Edited September 26, 2012 by Nostalgia Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jono.C Posted September 26, 2012 Report Share Posted September 26, 2012 Yeah I've seen that! Kinda the style I'm after  They quoted me roughly 80 each and 6 weeks postage  175/60 are available most places I've found. I might run them on the back for a little more grip Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nostalgia Posted September 26, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 26, 2012 If anything I'd put the bigger on the front for more grip. ;) Â Yeah I'm looking at that too, but with the steelies maybe a polished band. Then roofracks, bozo-esque exhaust with a surprise and we'll be all sweet :) for the time being.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RA28GT Posted September 26, 2012 Report Share Posted September 26, 2012 I run 13x7 +6 and the front is flush with 175/60's. Rear you can get away with 13x7 0ish without poke. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nostalgia Posted September 26, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 26, 2012 RA28GT yeah yours looks fantastic! Hadn't seen those photos before. I'd like a bit of poke, and a little stretch, so I reckon 13x7 -5 with 165/55s will be good. How far have you lowered it front and rear?
