+40 not really suited to ae86 and ta22 without spacers, but the fact theyre 7.5in wide compensates for this a little i guess..

Looking at the diagram i posted above:

You've got to worry about 2 things:

backspacing - if this measurement is too high, you'll find it will collect your suspension or your guards, particularly on the front - this increases with higher offset, ie more positive offset = closer to the suspension/guard.

But cosmetically - even if the wheel does fit within the guards, how well it lines up with the outside of the car, well thats another business....

I'd figure you'd be wasting your time on an ae86 without spacers, on a ta22 you might be close because of the width of the rim, but probably too wide anyway.

Correct me if i'm wrong lads, but noone else seemed to be jumping in. Simple answer to all of the above is to try one or two on the car before you make the purchase Smile

ed: And to add some subjective commentary - i think they'd look gay on a ta22, but anyway
