Will these fit??

All right I'm poor. Got a Supra turbo with brand new tires in winter storage and I want to throw those rims on my SVX for the winter.

Specs: Supra Rims : 16x7.5", 5X114.3mm pattern, 35mm offset
Inside diameter 132mm

The rim size and bolt pattern are the same but will the 20mm difference in offset/hubcentric mounting method screw up my car/tires. Also will the rims clear the calipers???

I could be WAY off on this...

I remember my tire installer mentioning about 4mm on the larger side, so it should fit OK. I have snow steel rims from a 89 Supra that fits just fine.

You may find the offset too far out of spec. I tried a set with 35 offset & they rubbed in the rear when I cornered hard or had a modest load ( read anything) in the back.

Any wheel shop should be able to fit you with plactic hub centers to make them fit.

Hey the sawblade rims dont look too bad on the SVX. There's people selling those rims in the Supra forums for 10-20 bucks for a set of four if anybody's interested. Do you experience any rubbing or abnormal tirewear with the Supra rims??? Or did they just bolt on fine??
