Ok, i know this is probably somewhere on the forum but i've tried to search and well meh. I was lookin at the 18x8.5 G-games 77f's with a 50mm offset. Basically, can the tC run a 50mm offset? I have a TRD drop and do not want any rubbing or strain or w/e, just some nice rims that run nicely. SOOO, am i gonna have problems with this size?

 

uh... I don't think that would be the best idea. Try some 18x7-7.5 w/ 45 or smaller offset? Not really too sure but yea... I think that would definately rub though, sounds like they're built for a totally different car.

 

anyone else have any opinions?

 

50? dont even bother unless you want to spend extra money and get some spacers... like Ender said, at least a 45, but even then thats more sunk in than stock...

 

no it wouldnt be. the stock wheels are only 7 inches wide. the wheels he wants are 8.5 inches wide.

going from a 7" wide w/ 45mm offset to a 8.5" wide w/ 50 offset would give you 24mm less clearance on the inside and it would extend an additional 14mm on the outside. im not sure if it will clear on the inside, but it will sit flush on the outside.

 

So if it doesn't clear on the inside, am i supposed to buy spacers or something? sorry i really know nothing about wheel fitment.

 

dude, neo... they're still not gonna fit b/c they're gonna rub big time

 

yes, but dont go to large of a spacer. as it stands your pretty much flush. any sort of spacer and the wheels will stick out.

 

Ok so basically, are they gonna rub or not? They will just wheels alone but they won't with proper spacers?

 

I haven't measured, but if it's an inch or less between the stock wheels and brakes, you'll need spacers to clear them with the wheels you are looking at.

 

could someone tell me what size spacers i would need?

I really love these g-games but running them seems like it's going to be difficult right now.

 

You have to measure your caliper clearance first before you can determine what size spacer you need.

 

Does that mean i have to buy the rims to check? lol sorry i'm just really confused.

 

No, just measure the clearance with your stock rims.

 

where exactly do i measure from the rim? from the face of the spokes to the caliper? lol i'm so sorry for all this n00b crap!!!

 

It's OK to be a n00b as long as you are learning something.

Measure from the backside of a spoke to the caliper. Also, be sure to measure your rim to suspension clearance (you'll have to get creative), there should be enough room, but you'll need to calculate that as well.

 

ok, i measured from the spoke to the furthest part of the caliper sticking out, and it was 1.5 inches. a lil more than 2 if i measure from the spoke to the main part of the caliper. Also, i measured from my spring to where the wheel starts, and it looked liek 3 inches?

 

You're doing great. Next you need to click here --> http://www.1010tires.com/WheelOffsetCalculator.asp and input the proper wheel specs. The factory wheels are 7" wide and have a 35mm offset. It will tell you how much your wheels will push out in the wheel well and how much inner clearance you will lose. If the wheel clearance is less than what you've measured, you will need spacers.

 

18x8.5 with a 50 offset will rub, i tried a set and had to return them.

 

the factory wheel has an offset of 45mm, not 35mm.
