Thanks for any info.. dogstar 04-28-2004, 02:52 AM your most likely going to have to get the custom made. go to a local speed or tire shop and ask them who can machine up something like that, then talk to the guys there. there are a couple places online that sell adaptors and spacers, but without knowing which wheels and what all the measurements are, we cant give you an answer. CJSREDPRA 04-28-2004, 10:16 PM As posted here before, DO NOT get spacers!!!! They will put a uneven load on your wheel bearings. DO GET adapters instead!!!! 2 different things!! Import_Eve 04-29-2004, 01:19 AM Oh ok... Just that it is really hard to find some rims for the MKII. So I might need some spacer to fit some rims. supramantt10 04-29-2004, 01:54 AM Oh ok...

SilverMk2 04-30-2004, 02:56 AM Adapters have their own lugs built in. Usually they have a different pattern on one side, i.e. 4 bolt to 5 bolts etc. HTH cheappower82 05-01-2004, 11:14 AM I've got some adapters I bought awhile back. They're 1", 4x4.5"-to-4x100mm (the most common 4 lug application). I paid just over $200 for them; used them for a month. I've got Demon Cambers now, so I don't need the adapters. http://images.cardomain.com/member_images/6/web/402000-402999/402756_13_full.jpg http://images.cardomain.com/member_images/6/web/402000-402999/402756_1_full.jpg These wheels were robbed from a BMW I believe; +25mm offset(?) Import_Eve 05-01-2004, 12:47 PM Wow! Where you get them from? cheappower82 05-01-2004, 03:14 PM I think it was Adapt-it USA SupraXX 05-01-2004, 08:27 PM Talk to Gabriel Tyler at www.TechnoToyTuning.com He has a set of real nice wheel adapters for the Toyota Supra and AE86. You can also email him at ggtyler@yahoo.com A set is $180.00. Good Luck! Import_Eve 05-01-2004, 11:39 PM oh ok thanks! |
