rim problem - 6G Celicas Forums

Topic #29519 6 posts Started by KOWABUNGA
ok i really want the turini speedline 2021 rims, but the offset is 48mm.....
so do you guys think wheel spacers would work? or will i even have a problem with them?
what diameter? what width?

And, NO don't do adapters/spacers

If anyone is missing NASCAR and it's not on Speed Channel, take a fistful of Skittles, throw them in the toilet and hit the flush handle. Instant NASCAR!!!

Yes, they will work. I have 48 offset rims and 15mm spacers and I am very happy. If you buy GOOD spacers using replacement lugs, they are as safe as stock. I bought H & R which are generally regarded as the best on the market.

I think you could even do with 10 mm spacers as acceptable offset is 35-38 mm.

GBP stands for Great Britain Pound, which means the rims will come from UK.
So you will have to pay $1470 plus shipping over the ocean plus any duty taxes / VAT (which stands for Value Added Tax, just in case >wink.gif> ) that could be due. Try to find ones in US.
