I'm going about 20mm spacers, which makes cheap wheels not so cheap
Ah well, back to plain old boring R33/S14 rims for practice
Or these

Done. Car is going tomorow for a quote. He'll throw in the spats if I buy the skirts.
Where abouts is this place Terry?
Head fro Watford Jnc station, pub called the Flag & Firkin before it. Immediately before the pub is a narrow road called the Bridle Path. His workshop is in a group up the bridle path.
HTH
Well seeing as this thread recieved a mighty bump, I should update you all on my wheels
I decided that Supras run too high an offset for my needs, so settled on some 8J x 16 Et-10 (yes, thats minus ten) from a widebody Starion
They're pretty grotty at the minute, so a bit of elbow grease and a wire brush on the drill and they're coming on nicely

-10. A slight bit of arch fettling required me thinks
I currently have 8J Et30 on the rear and its almost flush with a 225 tyre, so with ET-10 and a 205 tyre the arch will only need a slight roll to suit.

sounds like more than a slight roll to me. Good luck!
Well, you weren't wrong
I think I'll use them as drift rims until these tyres are dead, then go down to a 195 tyre (perhaps a taller sidewall so it doesn't make my car look so high
) and then it should only need a slight flare. But until then, I'll be sticking with my R32 GTR's

Cheers for the offer, but I reckon ET50 would be too far the other way, and would foul the coilover
The R32 GTR's are ET30 and sit pretty much flush, and I've got 4 S14/R32GTST's spare which are 6.5J ET35 ish, so I'm not short of wheels that will sit on the car legally, i just fancied something with a bit of dish
