Just bought a pair of second hand rims from a Jap import shop in Qld that i though would look decent on my Camry o4 sportivo

going to clean them up and then spray the inner 5 star patter MATT black or Glossy Black.

tell me what you think

will post pics up once ive completed the paint and install (since i have the orig wheels off i may aswell do the Calipers Red to and make them stand out)

:D

Any opinnion will be appreciated

I remember watching various wheels from that seller here in Queensland. I wasn't too fond of many of the designs he had available though, but I'm always keeping my eye out. Another thing as well is that a fair few of them come in staggered arrangements which means it's not something you can do a rotation on.

Those ones from what I can remember are a +30 offset. That will stick out of your guards a bit you do know. Makes it stick out even more when the wheels are 8 and 9 inches wide. Changing the offsets like that isn't usually something you should do as it increases the forces on the wheel bearing etc. It can also alter the steering geometry (specifically, scrub radius), which can cause unwanted steering effects.

Yea it was something that occured to me, they SHOULD sit just behind the guards... I hope :P

I'm afraid they may not. There is only a good 30-35mm from where the stock wheels sit to the very edge of the outer guard.

The 8 inch wheels with a +30 offset will extend 28mm more than stock and the 9 inch wheels with +30 offset will extend 40mm more than stock.

They will either be in line with the guards, or just past it. Can't really tell till it's fitted though. But that is just asking for scrubbing.

there

Front 235/45/17 offset +30

Rear 255/40/17 offset +30

i was working off previous quote that a Wheelworx gave me a while back.

They should sit flush with the guards.

what you think?

It's not just the tire width you are looking at there. It is also the wheel width. IF they are these ones (eBay link) two of them are 8 inches wide, and the other two are 9 inches wide.

Now an edit on my previous post, with the current wheels on your Camry, the distance from the ede of the wheel to the outside edge of the guard is around 20mm on the front and 30-35mm on the rear. Now because these are staggered wheels, you would be putting the 8 inch ones on the front and the 9 inch ones on the rear.

With the 8 inch ones on the front, they will stick out 28mm more than stock. That means they stick out past the outer edge of the guard.

With the 9 inch ones on the rear, they will stick out 40mm more than stock. That means they will also stick out past the outer edge of the guard.

And as I mentioned, the aesthetics aren't the only thing you need to worry about. By changing the offset like that, you can change your steering geometry around. Sometimes for the better, sometimes for the worse. Each car behaves differently though, so this I cant comment on.

Mate, AWESOME RIMS!!!

Call me crazy but i've always LOVED wheels thrown out past the guards, even if it is going against the popo.

Flared guards don't really do it for me, but it'll keep you legal. B)

      Disconnecting winch, lightbar and UHF

      Generally, yes. In the 60s, and earlier, there were cars with positive grounds, so I'm always a bit hesitant to say the negative wire. It is always the one that bolts to the body. Herb

      2011 Land Cruiser 1VD-FTV Engine Won't Start After Overhaul

      Hi everyone, I have a 2011 Land Cruiser VDJ200 with a 1VD-FTV engine. I recently had the engine fully overhauled due to a blown head gasket. However, after the overhaul, the engine is not starting. It only cranks but doesn't fire. I've checked the following DTC codes: Internal memory EEPROM error Low rail pressure The actual rail pressure data shows: 240 bar during cranking 61 bar when ignition is off Based on these findings, I suspect the following potential causes: =Defective Diesel High-Pressure Pump =Leaking Piezoelectric Injectors =Diesel Fuel Bypassing to the DPF Circuit =Faulty Injector Drivers I'm hoping for some expert advice to help diagnose and resolve this problem I'm seeking expert advice on how to troubleshoot and resolve this issue. Any suggestions or guidance would be greatly appreciated.

      Disconnecting winch, lightbar and UHF

      Disconnecting batteries, ALWAYS disconnect the ground wire first. Doing this will also disconnect power, in general. Herb

      Disconnecting winch, lightbar and UHF

      Hey guys, I’m wanting to disconnect my current winch, lightbar and UHF as I have new plans. I’ve installed a winch previously on another car so I get it’s a case of following the cables and disconnecting from the battery, etc but but safety wise, should I start by disconnecting the battery so the cables aren’t live orrrr? And if so how do it go this haha?

      Snapping wheel and axle studs

      Put a set of standard wheels on it and your problem will disappear. It is critical that the hole in the wheel centre is a snug fit on the axle boss (without wheel nuts fitted). If your wheels are sloppy on the axle boss this allows excess force on your wheel studs and they will break, as yours are doing. If you are unsure of what to do, go to a reputable tyre shop and get assistance.

      2zz idle / roughness when accelerating past 3k

      Hey everyone was hoping someone might be able to point me in the right direction with this issue I've been facing for a while now. My Celica's idle will drop down to almost 200rpm when stationery after hitting operating temperature. Pretty much feels like it's about to stall out but never actually does. When taking off from a set of lights it almost feels like it hesitates or is down on power and then all of a sudden it lurches forward and gets a boost in power again. Then again around 1,500-3,000rpm it feels down on power and in what I can only describe in the engine feeling scratchy. Past 3,000 rpm it gets a little boost in power again but still definitely feels down on power compared to what it used to be and still has that roughness. Note lift is also not working at the moment but I have changed the lift bolts, planning on cleaning the VVT and VVTL-i OCV's New engine mounts have been installed I changed the MAF sensor about 4 years ago albeit not OEM. After doing some research my main ideas now would be a New MAF this time OEM, TPS, IACV or Coil Packs (Changed plugs 50,000km ago) Any other suggestions would be greatly appreciated!!! :)
