I just bought one 16x8 rpf1 with an 38 offset. The barely clear the front and the rear. I suppose this is the smallest you can put on the ride. I put 225x55x16 for the compensation of the stock 18s. I dont know if its old news, but just saying. Going to post the wheel and tire combo weight vs our 51 pound stock tire and wheels.

My winter tires are 215/60/16 which are standard Camry size wheels and they fit fine and just barely clear the calipers.

The BBK won't fit a 16" rim though

tommyboy

didnt know, well these wheels fit. 15x7 te37s fit the back though. But not the front.

tommyboy

man i wasnt even thinking of 60series either. Yours a .05 slower mine is.05 faster and 8 more revolutions over stock. Yours is 5 less than stock. Ill just live with it. :-(.

Yea I know it's a little slower. That size was all the tire shops sold as standard tC 16" tires for winter usage.

The difference is small I hardly noticed it.

just looked through your album, and I have to ask, are you a fan of tiny wheels?

DAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAmn! those are some meaty tires!! now slammed it!!!!
Who knows I might do the same thing :3

johndeo11

more pics please. and yeah slammed it!

tommyboy

I ordered the other three today, will do.

tommyboy

shure are. I dont care for bling. Lighter wheels with the right tire combo to compensate for the stock wheel and tire gear ratio means easier on your brakes, tranny, motor, stops quicker not to mention at least 1 hp back for every pound dropped and faster. 51 pound tire and wheel combo for an 2.5 motor is only sooo strong. These 18s are perfect for a 5.0 or bigger imho.

johndeo11

so you only have one right now? lolz

tommyboy

mmm, yeah. I dont see anybody else on this forum ordering 16x8 wheels and posting the fit works. Rather be stuck with one wheel than four smart guy.

johndeo11

well our spare tire is 16x?? so 16 will fit... i just dont know how wide you can go tho.

tommyboy

good eye, never pulled it out. I used the spare from an mk3 supra....rubbed a little, its a full sized wheel, its an 16 5x114.3. Offset has to be right as well. Just didnt want to take the chance, but the rpf1 in 16x8 in a 38 offset barly fits over the front brakes. The weights should be near the outside of the wheel doing a static balance.

tommyboy

38.55 is the wheel and tire combo sez kinkos. Thats almost 13 pounds off the drive line and 50 pounds overall off the car. Thats a seat and half a spare tire! Id figure a te37 would be three pounds less if you can find one. They are discontinued in 16s. But u can find them in a v series for 16s if u like that ol skool extra lip.

Looks like an xB if i squint lol.

tommyboy

good times, love that yellow car of yours, loved what you or toyota did to the interior and the engine bay. I dont even have to squint.

Thanks man. I'm excited to see how your car will look with those on all 4's slammed. I think it will look pretty sick!
