Toyota steelies with *slightly* different offset? Sat, 27 December 2003 17:29 Go to next message
Am doing a brake conversion and it fouls ever-so-slightly on the wheel. Was hoping there may be some Toyota 14" steelies available in a slightly different offset to my Mark II (Corona).

Does anyone know if any RWD Toyotas came with wheels of a different offset (I know that sprinters, for one, were different)?

My job is made more difficult by the fact that most cars at wreckers have had the wheels removed and welded together to support the body in the air.

What I need is some rims that would sit the wheel out a touch further. If anyone has a recommendation, or even a steelie that I could do a trial fit or measurements with, that would be rather good.

Chasing something in a 14" size, width isn't that important really. Must be a steelie, not an alloy rim (perhaps a spare from a car factory fitted with alloys might be an option).

Ta.

I had clearance problems with coil-overs and my stock rims. I use now Datsun Laurel C30? rims for winter tyres and Mitsu Galant(boxy RWD) rims for summer tyres. Both have much more offset on negative side.

Young Jedi, your answer lies with Datsun..... Laughing

Bring a hubcap to make sure it fits.

Choice!

So something like R30 Skyline rims or something?

If so then 'damn'... we just ditched a complete car at a wrecker a while back.

I know a few datto boys so I'll see if I can pinch a couple of rims off someone and see how I go.

Good thinking on the hubcap Smile
