Advice on OFFSET for ST185 wide body

[chrisGT4]

Thanks again for the advice Rob. I will wait till I saved enough.
Can I put my name on the list of wanting to buy a bolt on spacers? I just need a pair for the rear with 25mm thickness.
I actually inquired a pair of this at Optionimports.com the price is US$122 + freight for an ICHIBA wheel spacers but they are asking me these questions

"What is your center bore size, bolt pattern, and pitch size. (12x1.5 or 12x1.25)? "

Could somebody enlighten me with this?

They also sell H&R spacers.

centre bore is the size of the hub/hole ( where the brake disc slides over)=54.1
stud pattern eg, 5x100
12x1.50 is the stud and thread size for all toyotas

If you want a set quickly, call up Wheelworx here in SA (Thebarton).
They are making me up a pair of 25mm bolt-on hubcentric spacers (for the rear of my GT4) at the moment for $200.
Only takes them 2 days to have them made, so they could have them to you within a week i would imagine.

Thanks Frosty, very much appreciated. Thanks as well MWP, I will give them a ring. Do you know what material they are using?

And here is one thats been bugging me ever since I got these (a year ago) Retracting mirrors.
I CAN'T FIND ANY WIRING DIAGRAM FOR THESE B@S74R0S!!!!!
I have emailed US,Canada,Europe Asia and Oceania but no luck. Japan would have it but I can't get in contact with them.
Can anyone help me please??????

May not have everything you need though...

Hey WOW thanks Matty
I should've ask here in the first place but I didn't want to annoy everybody too much so I Googled around first then mainly Toyota.
Thanks a lot Matty.

I picked up my spacers today.
They look well made, and i doubt they will give me any issues.

So a thumbs-up for Wheelworx spacers from me

[chrisGT4]

Good one MWP
If I order these from them would they have the specs already?
And did they say what it is made of? While I'm asking you all this stupid question, can you give me their phone #.

[MWP]

Yeah, i told em what it was for and they knew all the specs already.
They are aluminium, not sure what grade.
The wheel studs were too long, i had to cut them short, no big deal.
I also gave mine a quick coat of matt black paint too so they are not as obvious.

So 225/45/17 on +40 wheels with 25mm spacers on the back is pretty much a perfect fit without needing to roll the guards.
Ill take a photo soon.

Will 18inch x 7.5 and an offset of 44 fit both the front and rear of the wide body st185 celica?

[aus jd 2703]

fit yes, look good no.
I run 17-8 +32 front and 17-8 +17 rear (+42 and 25mm spacers).
and could use some more poke.

[andre33]

Thanks. What would the wheel size be for 17 inch if I didn't want to run spacers on the back? The front is good but I don't really want to put spacers on the rear. So what offset is needed to do that?

[aus jd 2703]

diameter doesn't affect offset, but generally 18" are a bigger diameter and this can affect your offset due to clearences. but that's a separate issue.

for a 8" wide wheel the rear would need to be about +12-15mm.

for a 7.5" it needs to be +6 to +9mm as you loose 6.5mm due to the width being less

this is why buying wheels for ST185's suck.

Work are a great option.

[andre33]

So if I was to get wheels with these measurements
Front- 17x8 33offset
Rear- 17x8 13offset
These should fill out the front and rear perfectly and look great?!
Thanks

[aus jd 2703]

they should fill well.

215 tyres will give some stretch and look great
