Nicebiscuit 655 Report post Posted October 5, 2016 Not sure about the wheels. The style makes them look smaller/narrower than they are, but the rest of it is Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lauren 2259 Report post Posted October 5, 2016 Looks good, but I really wish Toyota would do a better job with wheel offsets. Is that the exact spec/look then, Richard? 2 Ztox and Varelco reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Varelco 211 Report post Posted October 5, 2016 +10000 I really don't understand why Toyota struggle so badly to fit decent offset wheels to this car.... They should have a word with some of the German car manufacturers, they do well in the wheel fitment department. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kodename47 446 Report post Posted October 5, 2016 Meh, it's still a MY17. Better than the previous TRD though, looks like they actually made an effort.... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Paul 442 Report post Posted October 5, 2016 Rich is that the exact UK spec? And if so, how much? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Riceburner 284 Report post Posted October 6, 2016 Just to Answer a few questions.The car is only available(at the moment)in 2 forms Gt86 & Gt86 pro. I have ordered the pro model which we will then proceed with ordering and fitting the body kit etc. 2 benmmellor and Deacon reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
benmmellor 44 Report post Posted October 6, 2016 The one thing I'd like to be able to retrofit would be the MY17 dash cluster and steering wheel controls... rest of the cosmetic changes aren't much of a concern to me... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Nicebiscuit 655 Report post Posted October 6, 2016 Looks good, but I really wish Toyota would do a better job with wheel offsets. Is that the exact spec/look then, Richard? I was wondering about this... I was wondering whether it's something to do with suspension geometry? There must be some reason, surely. Because they keep doing it and they must know it looks a bit rubbish like that... Mine looks so much better now that the wheels are 30mm or so pushed out at each corner.

Lauren 2259 Report post Posted October 7, 2016 It's nothing to do with suspension geommetry as such, it's just a conservative offset. I can see no good reason, other than Toyota wanting to ensure the wheels are under the arches and there is no possibility of the wheels hitting the arches etc and I suppose there are things like snow chains to consider.

Ade 517 Report post Posted October 7, 2016 Not entirely true. lower offset put more strain on the wheel bearings due to extending the lever arm. It also adds positive scrub which does give brake steer on uneven surfaces which can be dangerous in the wrong hands. I know it from first hand experience, on some surfaces when hammering the brake you need to hold the wheel otherwise before you know it you can be in the ditch at the side of the road. My grippy tyres probably make it worse to be fair. To do it properly would need a suspension redesign to extend the current wheel/knuckle further out. Having said that, why didnt they do that in the first place? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Rich 378 Report post Posted October 11, 2016 Lower offset can affect drag as well I think - if they wheels poke a bit they're in the airflow round the sides of the arches. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
