I didn't want to start a new thread but I don't have the actual rims yet, and I was looking confirmation

I'm looking to get the Tenzo R DC-6 18x8 35et. Will this fit with the 225/45/15 stock tires + TRD lowering springs? Will there be too much stretch and should I just get new tires altogether, I'd like to keep the stock tires for now.

On the specs page, the specs say stock is 35et. On this website I'm looking at , it says there is a 45et and a 35et it says the 45et fits but the 35 doesn't. What would be the best fit?

Thx

 

+35et would be best on that rim.+ 45 would not look good for this car with an 8 inch wide rim. Your stock tires will be just fine. Stock rim is 7.5 inches wide and stock offset is +39mm. It is stamped on the inside of the wheel. For a better look I'd find a 9' wide wheel with a +35 to a +40 offset. An 8" wide rim with a 35mm offset will not give a flush looking fit. It will be better than stock, but not much. Most pics in the new wheel thread are of 9.5 inch wide wheels with +35 to +45 offset. +40 is optimal for brake and fender clearance. Tenzo's look nice but they are heavy and limited in width options.

 

thanks for the reply. will post pics when they have been installed

 

A 225/45/15 tire will not fit on an 18x8 wheel...

Assuming that was just a typo, the stock tires will fit just fine on an 8 inch wide wheel, I am running the stock tires on 18x9.5 wheels, no issues at all...

 

Whoops meant 225 45 18 which is the stock tires

 

i dont want to steal other's thread or make new thread, but i need a help. planning to buy wheels in a month or couple...

wheel is xxr 522 18x9.5 +38 5-100/5-114.3. oh yeah, will this fit on our tc2? and what tire size can i use? car is on trd springs.

thanks...

 

I'm pretty sure you can get away with that. I know people with tC 1's have done sizes like that without any problems so I don't see why a tC 2 would be any different.

 

Hopfully you'll be getting the chromium black and not the riced out gold crap. The flat black looks like you haven't washed the brake dust off the wheel. I'd also upgrade to 19" instead of sticking with the stock 18" size. 20" is just a tad too large for the body of the car.

BTW where are you buying the wheels?

I found this for good 19x8.5 +38 for $177ea......

First and second gens are different...


To the OP, Yes those will fit, you can run anything from a 225/45 series tire to like a 265/35 and still be fine.

I am running the original tires on my 006's in 18x9.5 +35

 

You're crazy! The gold looks sexy on the metallic grey.

 

Yeah maybe look wise and the fact that the second gens come with 18" wheels now and a 2.5L engine. The car is still built on the Toyota Avensis platform soooooo what has changed? I have found nothing so far that relates to his new rims fitting any differently then on the first gen tC's.

 

Factory wheel offset is different... meaning that something that will be flush on the first gen, might not be on the second gen.

18x9.5 +35 on the second gen:

 

Ok good point. That has never crossed my mind but the difference in offset isn't much but could be a deal breaker when buying rims. +1 for you and -1 for me..........

 

i already saw a gold one. and i like it. and rotz is right. gold looks sexy for magnetic gray. but my gf said black. lolz but still undecided on color.

and here is cheaper... $120 lolz

@wellesley- oh okay... thanks for the help. and yeah i know you wear xxr also. and i read your review about your xxr, so i jumped into it...

 

another question- 225/45-'18' to 265/35-'18' right? just makin sure...
such a noob... :D

 

lol, yea, it goes width/sidewall/wheel diameter, if you buy 18 inch wheels, you want the last number to be 18 on the tire.

Are you looking to have stretched tires?

 

i dont know... lolz i know nothin... ahahaha
kindly educate me. :D

 

FYI the 522 are heavy, like 25lbs per wheel. Go with the 527 wheel. Much lighter.

 

Look forward to the pics! I love the Tenzo wheels, just wish they came in 9" wide.

 

im looking to get the buddy club p1 racing sf wheel in gunmetal. the specs are 18x8.5 +30 offset... With a 235/40 tire will i be safe??? inner and outer clearance??
