RE: Banpei's new TA60 family cruiser
I finished the wheels somewhere mid-November, shortly after the AEU86 meetup. After that, the weather was so dreadful that I just ignored them. Spring has arrived early, so the Black Racing just had to be mounted on the Carina!
![]() I'm really happy with the looks of these wheels on the Carina. The wheel/tire size is also just right. However, they are about 3.5% smaller in diameter than the Celica Supra wheels with 185/60 R15 tyres and it shows really well in these photos of before and after: The fender gap is larger than my daughter's shoe length! ![]() Now I'll definitely need a set of lowering springs or coil-overs to make that right vertically. Also, the wheels sit a bit too far inward. The rear is relatively okay, but I'd say another 20 millimetres at the front would be necessary. I could swap around the front and rear wheels as I have the wheels with +15 offset in the rear and +25 at the front. R.ave already offered to lend his 10mm spaces to see what would be a good fitment. 1983 - AE86 Sprinter Trueno - import project 2013 - Honda Civic sport - daily driver 2004 - AEU86 dot ORG - daily domain Support our forum, buy from the AEU86 shop: ![]() |
