safe to change my offset a lil bit ? - Toyota Nation Forum : Toyota Car and Truck Forums

Well i got the wrong offset on the rims for my gen2 but i really like them so i'm just going to buy some adapters... i found a local shop that does them and make it to my spec and hubcentric to both my hub and rims. the rims are +55 my stock is +35ish.. i was going to have a set made with 25mm for the fronts and 35mm for the rears... is it safe for the car if i run these offset ? that'll make it +30 in the fronts and +20 in the rears ( since i noticed the rear track is narrower than the fronts) will it wear down the wheel bearings faster ? make suspension travels unsafe? will it hurt my suspension parts?

Are you able to return or exchange them? A problem you have is whether or not your lugs nuts would fit properly with the spacers on there. 25mm is 1" of the stud that you will not be able to use.

i'm not getting spacers i'm getting adapters they come with their own lugs...

atobe,

from where and for how much? i am interested.

atobe · 09-25-2005, 10:37 PM

what ? clp86rom? i'm not selling them i'm having them made from a local shop in ontario email them mcmotorsports.com they're charging me 50$ a piece... if you want generic adapters that's not hub centric that's only 35$ i don't know if they ship if they don't i can place an order for you and ship it to you or something..

clp86rom · 09-25-2005, 11:39 PM

okay.

so what is the difference between this "generic adapters that's not hub centric that's only 35$" and the $50 dollars ones you are getting?

how much does the $50 adapters bring out the tire? is it safe like that?

what about the $35 ones, how much does this bring out the tires? is it safe?

and what about just normal simple spacers, are they okay so run and safe? is there any limit to which you can go with spacers before just pussing the safety limit.

thanks again.

noob, did you even look at the pictures?

spacers ARE NOT hubcentric (Search and see why thats bad)

he is not getting spacers, hes getting adapters which bolt onto your stock lugs and then you bolt your wheels onto them. this is how most RAYS Engineering wheels come (With the adapters)

how much more spacing you get depends on width, generally you cannot get thin adaptors because you cant fit the nuts.

using ANY spacer is pushing the safety envelope. youre just asking for it (watch has ya lugs snap as you round a corner and you go everywhere

I have +35 in offset with 25mm adapters rear, no unormal wear. Been driving with 'em for a year.

TypeRex187 · 09-27-2005, 05:32 PM

i have 16x7 with a +38 offset thats pretty much safe right?

fredk · 09-27-2005, 08:56 PM

just remember that the centerline of the tire has to be at or very close to the centerline that can be drawn through the spindles on the front end with the wheels pointing straight ahead, if its very far off eather way the car will complain and the steering geometry will be off

erm, no, that depends on wheel width.
