Celica alloys offset

Postby muppet » Fri Jun 22, 2007 3:03 pm

Looking at buy some alloys but unsure if the offset and wide of the alloys will fit my St202 Celica. Currently 7' offset 45 all round.

Front alloys 7' offset 32
Rear alloys 8' offset 35

I'm pretty sure the front will be ok but will the rears stick out side the quards or maybe touch and go.

Any help would be of a great help.

Clear as mud, is a wee bit of a help but I don't like the mentioning on spacers, are they illegal when fitted.

Spacers have to be certed, and meet a few guidelines (i'd copy and paste, but the LVVTA PDF wont allow me to :roll:)

But pretty much:

-Maximum of 20mm away from the hub;
-Be set screwed or attached by another secure method to either the wheel or hub face;
-Be manufactured from a solid block of suitable material;
-Have 2 machined or die-cast surfaces that are parallel, and contain minimal indentaions or irregularities;
-Be fitted as to ensure the wheel locates snugly over the hub spigot so the hub carries the weight of the wheel assembly instead of the studs, or where there is a mis-match between the hub spigot and the wheel centre, a close tolerance fit centre bore locator must be provided;
-Maintain, with the spacer fitted, not less than the minimum required amount of wheel stud or bolt engagement.

This is either

-Not less than the diameter of the stud thread
-With a 12x1.5 stud - 6.5 turns
-With a 12x1.25 stud - 7.5 turns
-With a 14x1.5 stud - 7.5 turns

Perhaps a mod should FAQ these standards? Seem to be asked now and then...

The PDF about wheels and tyres is available here

I actually run stupidly large spacers on the back of my GT4 (25mm), and my 7" wheels arent at the guard yet. Seems like ill have to make them smaller, or buy some better-offset wheels :(
