try a search

Also, you could try PMing Ed_ma61 (who is currently investigating) or baacchy (with more or less a's and c's) who has already done it.

*Then work out the cost of the conversion, how available 5-stud +10 offset 18" wheels are
* Then ask yourself why you want 18" wheels on an ma61
* Then ask yourself whether it's cheaper to do a conversion and get 18" rims, or just ask simmons to make you up a set (about $2500)

afraid 17's will look a bit poncy under the flares.. like too small or something. (not that the flares arent already a bit poncy..) guess its the filling it out factor and looking more in proportion with the rest of the body.. Confused

I'd be doing the 5 stud conversion. While I haven't done the rear, I know that doing the front is dead easy. As for wheels, you could probably use something designed to go on pre-AU falcons.

Skyline GTR rims will all be in about the offset you want once you get big widths. They will be at least 8" wide though Razz

Oh, and btw, i've got some MS65 hubs lying around if you want them for a 5-stud conversion, I've strayed from the path and for my purposes, can't really be arsed.

forgive me for sounding a bit dumb.. but whats the offset?

might pass on the hubs for now though thanks for the offer above, need to finish my interior retrim first and thats taking a while (took the whole day just to get the darned dash out!). Sort of just need to weigh up whats goin to be best for the supra in the long run..

Confused

Pssht, day to get the dash out Razz Only takes 30 mins tops Wink Haha, how many times have I done it though? Very Happy

The offset is the distance between the centreline of the wheel and the mounting face, typically in a RWD situation, especially in a Mk2 Supra situation, it's quite low, around the 10mm mark.

If you need any info, just PM me, as I have completed the fronts and rears.

18" rims on the MA61 would look silly IMHO, unless you go fro some monster brakes to go with it.

Nothing (except really riced vehicles) looks worse than HUGE rims with std shitty brakes.

Also, the 18" rims will weigh a fair bit as well.

Cheers

Michael B

PS - I'm using Pre-AU 17x8" rims and they look about as big as you'd want to go

Re: 5 lug conversion on a MA61 Mon, 01 November 2004 00:56 Go to previous messageGo to next message
yeap, my concern there is there are some Brembo rotors for it that ive been looking at as well, but if I do a 5 lug conversion is that going to screw things up so I cant fit them?

i was thinking AME's for the rims.. still deciding though.

18's will cut me down on acceleration which isnt something I want either. Ok, maybe i should get one 17 fitted just to see how it sits ay?

what i want out of it eventually, well, im going to get a stronger LSD for it eventually, thus it gives it away im also planning on puttin a fair bit of torque thru it eventually. thus i was under the impression 5 lug's are going to hold the wheel in place better than a less stable 4 when im sideways.. correct?

It is going to be just as much work either way. One main advantage of the 5 stud is greater rim selection.

If you mean by stronger, you are going bigger, have fun. Fitting a MA70 LSD or similar will be a bitch of a job. Having said that, Norbs is putting 440HP though his (std with a torsen centre) and hasn't broken one yet, geraboxes are different though.

Yes, 5 studs are better than 4, but see the main reason for going 5 stud above !!!

oh guess im out of date then, i remember reading norbs site that he stuck a GE in.. oh well.

yeah.. after a lot of thinking, tossing up whether to do the 5M up, to go the 1J or to go the full monty with the 2JZ ive decided going the full monty is probably the best option. i know it sounds sentimental, but i have a thing for my digital dash, cheesy as it sounds, i would like to keep it instead of having the trouble with it that all those other 1JZ boys have had. its just something unique about the supra that needs to stay to retain its character.

interior retrim as i mentioned though is primary concern at the moment. Ive just ordered new carpet which im putting in this weekend, ive just finished recoating the centre column and getting the lid of the centre column box redone as well this week. backseat is going the vinyl do next week, and then comes the dash which is an ugly problem.. thats also getting the vinyl treatment, but its so cracked and chipped from 20 years of sun damage that its more brittle than me grandma's bones. new steering wheel went in last week and ive pre-ordered two black Sparco Siena seats too.. incidentally wheres good to get the rails for these done?

Glens car is on Norbie's site too, probably his 2JZGE conversion you saw.

As for rails, I've drilled the original mounts off the rails, then am getting two steel straps welded to them.

What does the dash have to do with the engine ?

What he said. I still have the original digi dash, and I didn't have any dramas whatsoever getting it to work with the 2JZ. The only remotely tricky thing I had to do was purchase a tacho booster box from SixWorks. Half a day with a wiring diagram and a soldering iron and the dash was working as good as the day it left the factory. Smile

As for the whole 5-stud thing, I think it's been covered pretty well so far but I will say this: if you're not planning a brake upgrade, don't bother. If you just want bigger wheels, it's far more cost-effective to get 4-stud wheels custom-made to your requirements.

Oh and 18" is definitely too big for an MA61, unless you have truly ginormous brakes which don't fit inside a 17" rim. 17's can look plenty phat though, believe me. Smile

18" wheels = heavier = increased rotational mass. Same reason a heavy flywheel affects acceleration.

So the extra 1 or 2kg per wheel, is going to decrease acceleration by a such an amount that you would take it into account when purchasing rims?

Surely a cheap set of 17's will weigh more than a quality set of 18's.
And surely Simmons would be lighter still.

Not necessarily. We have some 20" MOMO rims in our pilot room at the moment, and they are HEAVY !!!!

Remind me that I must try and weigh one....

Bah,

Directions for choosing rims.

1) Does the width/offset fit the car?
Check
2) Do they clear my brake upgrade
Check
3) Do they look PHAT
Check
4) Purchase + fit.

2JZGE hooks up no problems, it's 2JZGTE with its coil on plugs thats the problem.

What about this idea.

I can get some new 330mm rotors very cheap, As I'm going to be doing some track work these will be perfect, the down side to this is they're for a Commodore/Falcon front hub. Would I need to change my front hub to take these? MA61 Supra.

Why would you want any LESS than 8" on a Supra??.. I've got 8" on my AE86, and they look fine, not rediculous..

Multi coils actually make life a whole lot EASIER for hooking up tachos. All you need is a bit of basic electronics know-how!

330mm rotors, cheap = good. Commodore/Falcon hub? Err, to begin with the stud patterns different... You can fit pre-VR type commodore hubs/rotors(one piece) straight on to an MA61 - same bearing. You'll get 5x120.

Otherwise, you can slightly modify Crown hubs in the lathe, and use them with a variety of different rotors, e.g. Skyline. You'll get 5x114.3, which is easier to then copy on the back. Your choice!

oops looks like i dont have my wheels sorted coz the MA61 offset is maggoted. right, so that means the 5 lug is a must.

soo.. once you do the pre AU falcon mod, what is the new stud dimensions and pattern?? 5 x 114.3? Offset?

No, because the pre-AU Falcon offset is around the +10mm mark, which means there is a lot more available.

Actually it is +6mm for the 17x8" CSA Gladiators that I purchased, although 16x8" with +25mm was OK.

It depends on the size of the wheel and the manufacturer.

Ed has a set of 17x7.5" that are 0 offset.

yeah the AME's i was looking at are 4 x 114 with an offset of 40.. no way thats goin to fit the factory hubs right? so if i did the pre-au conversion and got the 5 x 114, the wheel offset is still 40, theres no way these will fit either yea?

With either the std 4 stud setup or the 5 stud conversion, a 8" rim with an offset greater than +30 will not fit, or it will be determined buy the tyre bulge.

It must be noted that the offset plays it's role, but it is the BACKSPACE of the rim that controls everything.

The backspace on a rim 7" rim and an 8" rim will be different, even iof the offset is the same.

An 8" rim and an offset of +6mm will almost be level with the outside of the flare on a MA61 i.e. don't go wider !!!!!!

okay so i'll make this simple for my simple mind - i like these rims -

http://home.swiftdsl.com.au/~hamgatan/CRWRT8.jpg

Theyre a 4 x 114.3 Stud Pattern with a 20mm Offset.

Will these just fit straight onto the MA61 hubs with no changes neccessary?

Edit: Yes im going to pop those ricey looking yellow things off it

Shit man there cool rims... you should shown me the other night i was over Razz

I think there the same wheels that were on Ben Ellis's (Of zoom fame) 1jz powered 240 Zed.. Although his rims had a gold tinge and those bolts were the same colour and hence didnt look as ricey..

Ahf, MA61 wheels are great - if only they made them in, say, 18x9...
