Wheels For Dummies

I need to buy that one :P

What do all these things mean? The crazy bolt patterns, offset, 14x7, spacers, adaptors, etc etc. I searched a bit and didn't find much =/ Basically...what does 14x7 (14 in heigh, 7 in width?) mean? What offset do we need (8mm?)? Guess that's why i never come to this section...I don't understand it :P

yup that right...14 by 7 mean 14 inch rims and 7 in width.... I think you gonna need +0mm with out spacer.. I been looking for rims myself but couldn't find none that would fit our cars..

All depends on the width & tire size.... That's what will help determine you offset....


I think you gonna need +0mm with out spacer

See the original posting & read how everything is all put together... In other words, he's talking about our P-Type wheels..... Now......You DO realize that our stock P-Type wheels has a +8mm offset, correct?????? It's NOT a 0mm offset.

Read this thread:

Wheel terms (http://www.celicasupra.com/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=6984)

Can someone make that thread a sticky? It's got some good terms for neophyte wheel shoppers.
