loz180691 Posted October 5, 2013 Posted October 5, 2013 I've just upgraded to the wms brake kit 275mm and I have had to space my wheels 15mm.I'm ideally after some new alloys that will fit the brakes with no spacer or a very small one any pics or ideas of wheels that will fit that would be great Thanks loz, Quote
Broony Posted October 5, 2013 Posted October 5, 2013 It all depends on the wheels mate. Wheels with lower offset will more than likely be better for you so you dont have to run a spacer but all wheels differ on their design Quote
loz180691 Posted October 5, 2013 Author Posted October 5, 2013 Ye I just want to know what alloys use with these brakes it's a nightmare because there ent many lol Quote
Liam_D Posted October 6, 2013 Posted October 6, 2013 I have managed to get my Slipstreams over my WMS kit Can get you exact sizes and stuff if you need. Quote
AdamB Posted October 6, 2013 Posted October 6, 2013 (edited) A rim that is 7J wide and an offset of 35mm will most likely help your cause, but as said not every wheel this spec will clear as it depends on spoke design. The best ones are Advan RG, SSR, CE28. However you are looking at paying a fair few quid for those wheels! Edited October 6, 2013 by AdamB Quote
DevonGT Posted October 6, 2013 Posted October 6, 2013 A bit late now I know, but if you had got the template from WMS you would have saved yourself a lot of hassle. Quote
Keri-WMS Posted October 6, 2013 Posted October 6, 2013 To be fair most Starlet / 15" customer seem to manage ok - you can always sent the template to people selling wheels so they can check before you buy. Mk3 MR2 15" wheels go over them too and are cheap and light, forgot that one (not sure of the offset etc). And so do the MX5-spec 15" Enkeis in my avatar (and check offset). 15" Starlet SR Speedlines fit too - are they getting expensive? Quote
Keri-WMS Posted October 6, 2013 Posted October 6, 2013 ...could you take a photo showing where they are touching / getting too close? Quote

Keri-WMS Posted October 6, 2013 Posted October 6, 2013 Some more wheels from my notes (this is for the 275x22 kit): - Fits in ET32 15” Advan TC's with no spacers- about 2mm of clearance inside Rays “TE37”'s, 15x6.5- Needs an 5mm spacer minimum in 15” Rota Auto X- Probably fits in Team Dynamics Pro Race 1.2's- FITS in 15x7 Rota Slipstream ET40- Fits in 15” Speedlines easily!

Keri-WMS Posted October 6, 2013 Posted October 6, 2013 These are the 15" MR2 ones: http://www.ukstarletowners.com/topic/21667-mr2-roadster-wheels-on-starlet/ Quote
loz180691 Posted October 7, 2013 Author Posted October 7, 2013 Cheers people I no I should of got template just wanted to buy them lolThe thing putting me off spacers was the apparent wheel wobble and handling issues but I took it for a mild drive the other day and I can't notice any difference is how it was before so I'm quite happy now although new wheels is always nice Thanks for all your help Keri and digging about finding wheel options for me really appreciate it Quote
A L 3 X Posted October 7, 2013 Posted October 7, 2013 I've got some candy purple rota slipstreams, they'll fit with no spacers! Quote
