Help With Wheel Fitment TE72

[joshuawheat]

Hey guys i have a TE72 Wagon that im building. I am now to the point where im ordering wheels. This is my first real project that im really wanting to put money into. Please help me. I need to know what kind of offset would look good on these cars. I want to go with a 15x7 or 15x8 wheel. Im unsure of the offset to get so that i can have good fitment. I was thinking maybe like -6 or -10. Please help. Also please look at my build thread. Its The saga of another TE72. Thanks

Why would you want negative offset wheels that are so narrow? I never understood that


edit: For example, a 15x10 +15 would poke the same amount as a 15x8 -10 with the same amount of lip (obviously) and you'd be utilizing the space on the insde for wider tires/more stretch. I dont know stock wheel specs so I'm not sure if it would clear but probably.. It would use 13mm more room on the inside than say a 15x7 +40. I think a lot of old school corrolla guys run 10j 0 offset. I google'd it and a bunch of stuff came up but I'm at work so it's all blocked.

Agreed. I **** to say it, but that's too agressive on the fronts.

You should do some research and educate yourself on this stuff before you go out and buy wheels with weak specs.
