If so, what are you doing with your stock 15 X 6.5" wheels? Please see this thread

https://soarercentral.com/sc-forum/messages/291/180987.html

Urgently needed to race at Jamboree next weekend. QLD definitely preferrable. Other soarers may have these 15's as well but I don't know what models?

Put a post in here as I don't think many people look in wanted section.

aah so yours would be jzz31 ones then?

The other set I have found are in WA so I think you are still closer than them however international freight probably isn't too cheap :-(

Chris, why those wheels in particular? Supra rims might be a better choice as you can fit a wider tyre.

They are 16X8 and then I would need to run 255/50/16's which I am not sure will fit in the rolled guards of my corona however I know that a 15X6 with 225/60/15 fits so a 15X6.5 with a 235/60/15 should fit too as there is minimal difference.

Don't want to buy wheels that don't fit basically :-)

Hi Chris,

I have some stock 16's from a late model TT like this (not actual rims)


Upload


Not sure of the width, but your welcome to come and see if they fit.

Thanks Tai. Only issue is my car is unregistered so I can't just drive it down to test out. Thanks anyway.


Looks like I "may" have found some rims. 15X7" +35 offset (hopefully won't be too much, will measure tonight)

Thanks to all anyway :-)

Ah well Chris, if you do want me to investigate international postage, you can have mine for $100AU + whatever it costs to get the tires off them and post them. As you say though, would probably end up costing a fortune as it'd be something like 35kg's worth.

thanks but all sorted now. Just picked up some 15X6.5" wheels +45 offset from www.importbitz.com.au. Highly recommend John. He is an absolute champion!

Mine came with 15" LS400 wheels on it. I soon picked up 4 16" supra wheels with brand new tyres on ebay for $280. Sold the ls wheels for $190.

That was 16 months ago and the supra wheels and tyres still going strong.

Yeah, I do like my Supra 16's - not a big fan of large diameter wheels, but like chunky wide tyres, so the Supra's suite me fine.
