Dan507 Posted December 30, 2010 Share Posted December 30, 2010 I think lew has 15's on his GT which has wilwoods. might be worth looking at his build thread. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
lew777 Posted December 30, 2010 Author Share Posted December 30, 2010 my current alloys are 15 inch just wondered about the design off the alloy Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ryan lang Posted December 30, 2010 Share Posted December 30, 2010 yeah they should do, as dan said, sparky/lewis has wilwoods with 15's although he hasnt actually put them onto the car yet i dont think Quote Link to post Share on other sites
lew777 Posted December 30, 2010 Author Share Posted December 30, 2010 mine are 15 inch and with 10mm spacers just fit over my wilwoods just wanted to check the new ones would fit as im sure ive seen someone talking about fitting toms alloys over wilwoods and them not fitting.

Dan507 Posted December 30, 2010 Share Posted December 30, 2010 They should fit becuase its a low offset and you could always use the spacers. but this is easy to say when it isn't my money.Also im guessing you're getting the 4x100 ones unlike the ones you said above.

lew777 Posted December 30, 2010 Author Share Posted December 30, 2010 yeah thats correct dude Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Sparky Posted December 30, 2010 Share Posted December 30, 2010 Should fit no problem with that offset mate, I'd for for slightly wider ones though maybe 7" and get a bit of a stretch going Quote Link to post Share on other sites
lew777 Posted December 30, 2010 Author Share Posted December 30, 2010 i hope they will fit dont fancy spending all that money on them not to fit. i was looking for 8" wide but they wasnt on the options list. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
lew777 Posted December 30, 2010 Author Share Posted December 30, 2010 They look good on gts aswell im after some black ones Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Simon Posted December 30, 2010 Share Posted December 30, 2010 First Point those are 4x114.3 PCD you'll need 4x100 to bolt straight onto a starlet..As for the will they clear my brakes tell me if i'm starting on something you already know but...Zero OffsetThe hub mounting surface is even with the centerline of the wheel.PositiveThe hub mounting surface is toward the front or wheel side of the wheel. Positive offset wheels are generally found on front wheel drive cars and newer rear drive cars.NegativeThe hub mounting surface is toward the back or brake side of the wheels centerline. "Deep dish" wheels are typically a negative offset.So the wheels you are looking at are +19 offset with what looks like quite alot of dish this means that the spokes will be very close to the center line of the wheel ginving very little room for big brakes like the willwood 4 pots your running. You'll see most cars running big brake setups using wheel with a high positive offset and a spoke design that will be close to the edge for the rim to give the most amount of room for brakes.

lew777 Posted December 30, 2010 Author Share Posted December 30, 2010 thanks for the info dude ive also got 10mm spacers so hopefully they will fit Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Simon Posted December 31, 2010 Share Posted December 31, 2010 thanks for the info dude ive also got 10mm spacers so hopefully they will fitProblem with the 10mm spacers is you'll be pushing the wheels even further out so will be the same as a +9 offset when the standard starlet offset is +38 that will mean that your wheels will be 30mm further out than stock this then might cause you problems catching arches etc. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
lew777 Posted December 31, 2010 Author Share Posted December 31, 2010 The back is stripped out and its lowered just enough so it should be ok my current alloys poke quite abit at the min and had no problems with hitting the archs Quote Link to post Share on other sites
