Fitting issues? Sunk spokes

Anim · 5 May 2010 at 11:10

I'm in the midst of doing my research on a car project and the type of wheels required have the spokes in the centre of the wheel (looking top down) as shown below.

Question is, are there any fitting issues with wheels like these, would they stick out the sides of the wheel arches or something? In my head i cant figure out how the wheel stays at the same position compared to normal wheels which have the connection on the outer edge of the wheel.

Any advice/info welcome, cheers.

I'll give them a call regarding the offset then, where i want to buy them from doesnt have the details readily available but i'll have a browse around also, cheers for the help everyone

The wheels are made by DARE and i'll probably get something very similar (5 spoke as the 6 i've been told wont fit the Celica) from http://www.rtecshop.com/ which have come very highly rated.

Going for 18" anyway, dont think the 19 will quite work really. I've been trying to find a match to the wheels below but so many that are right arent being produced anymore, its one of the better matches so far but i think i have to get 5 spoke as the 6 wont fit

Project being turning the picture in to reality, not everyones cuppa but its one of the rare ideas that some of my friends actually approve of (they dont really see the point/need to modify heavily)

Looks great. Not using a facelift version though?

I currently have the GT so will be using that as a base for it, getting a new spoiler and then new wheels to finish it all off, i'll put together a little journal for the whole process when it all gets underway (soon)

Colour patches coming in the post in a few days, once ive got colour sorted its all go.
