wheel offset

tangsuto · 11-18-2009, 07:57 AM

I am not entirely sure on all these different specs to match up the correct wheels and the vehicle. I have an 87 Turbo and I find it very hard to find wheels that I both aesthetically like and the specs to match.

I want to get a set of the new Enkei GTC-01's and I found the size with an offset of 35mm and correct bolt pattern however the enkei website lists the wheels at the 75mm bore diameter and not the "ideal" diameter of 60mm as cited above. Will this still work on an 87 supra?

Yes they will be fine - the bore on the wheels is bigger than the bore on the vehicle - you just need to get Spigot Rings to centre and balance properly.

What I need to know:
the stock wheels are 16" if I'm right,
what will 19" look like and will they make for a bumpy ride since I will have to go low on the profile of the tyres,
will there really be a noticable decrease in acceleration
are 18" just right and a good compromise between style and speed
should I just go for 19" they look sweet

^ Thanks for the response. And I was also wondering the same thing between what size wheels to go. It's up for grabs between 17s and 18s for me though. I want a nice combination of performance, durability and ride quality, and looks. I live in New England where the winters do some damage on the roads. I want to be able to drive around comfortably without fear of my wheels dying on me.
