Wheel fitment thread- post your will this fit questions in here

[JDM_KING]

hey can anyone help???? whats the max offset you can run on a lipped and rolled guard on ae86 ? just want to know different ideas.

offset and rim size

Can I make these fit? 225/50/15 Toyo R888 on a 15x9 -10 front and rear KE70 with Tarago diff and 20mm longer LCA's.

Cheers Dave, but I was more concerned about fouling problems associated whilst turning on the front due to the larger overall diameter. I know its a long shot but any idea at all what sort of castor i'll need to run in order to clear the back part of the wheel well? near where your feet are, that bit. I'm not worried about guard clearance. Also will this limit my lock by any significant amount? I think the 14x8's were juuust touching on the chassis rail on full lock whilst suspension was compressed, there are some light rubbing marks there.

wherever the wheel rubs hit with a hammer until it stops.... fixed

Are you drifting or gripping? what size tyres and offset were on the 14x8's?

It would foul badly everywhere, mainly on the front guard due to castor and the inner wheel well at full lock if you have ps arms. Probably not on the back of the guard cos you should be running +ve castor around +4 at least with stock arms. A 225/50 is a massive tyre for a corolla, why so big? Id say a 205/50 would probably give all the clearance and grip you willl need.

For good handling you really dont want a 9 - 10 up front. An 8.5 0ish with 205/50 would feel good.
The less negative offset on the front the better unless you're drifting then who cares!

Grip. were -10 hurricanes with 185/60 RE001. Really want to run the same size all round, R888's arent exactly cheap and I want to get the best wear out of them. And I think 205 will be too narrow, new motor will be pushing around 250kw atw. I was already on the limit of adhesion on a 190/570 (works out to around 205 in road size) Avon full slick when it was 150kw.

I need more grip, both up front and back. If they made a 225/45 or even 40 i would be all over it but they ceased production of the 45 profile a while ago. Plus with a bigger diameter tyre you do actually get a marginal increase in contact patch.

If I run a longer LCA I can overcome the fouling on lock, my main concern is the rear section of inner wheel wheel like I was trying to explain before, not sure if it made much sence but its the bit your feet rest against.

i see. turn it full lock with wheels you know the size of and tyre then use this offset calculator to work out how much fourther in they sit. should tell you if it will foul.

Wow thats a really good offset calculator. I was using the 1010tires one but it doesn't give alot of info. Cheers for that!
