Hey guys so this is my new project, a 1987 mx73 Toyota Cressida AUDM spec.
It has a damaged 5m-ge, I personally don't mind the engine but ultimately its getting swapped in a few years. In Australia Probationary drivers are restricted to 6 cylinder and below NA Engines (Just incase you guys weren't aware), and I plan on either a 1uz v8 quad cam swap or 1jz/2jz
So I'm either looking at rebuilding the 5m or replacing it with a 7m-ge out of the later model Supra for the time being until I get off my probationary license. The 5m has head damage and won't run on all 6 cylinders, currently only running 4.
Also has damaged paint on the roof and bonnet from a poor respray by the previous owners, I'll be respraying that asap.
Everything else is great, very good interior (forgetting the usual damage associated with a 26 y.o. car) Straight panels etc.
So what I'd like to know is rim specs, what can I fit under this car, how much stretch on tyres etc.
Currently been looking at sets of 15 inch Watanabe's or replicas, want that old school jdm style rim. Thinking 9 or 10inch wide, but thats where my knowledge on rims stop. Terrible at offset and tyre size. When ever I've bought rims for cars its always been 2nd hand, hope they fit style with no stretch.
So SW hit me with your vast knowledge of fitment and low
Here's some Pics, sorry for the long thread Intro
