ok so i have been looking for starions forever, finnaly found a decent deal i think? my question was is it a good deal and it looks like he has (1) 16x8 wheel and (2) 16x7 wheels , what do you think, would they all work good? with the 16x7's in front and buy another 16x8 and put those in back? i dont mind buying wheel spacers... Toyota factory 16" aluminum mag wheels + Tires

 

Score of a deal. You could run 14" or 15" celica 4 lug variants if you swapped an early Privia front brakes on lol. That's a set of 4. If they were 17s id be all over starions. But I can't fit my upcoming brake setup behind 16s.

 

They are on your body style all the time, they fit really good most people say.

 

unless they are gonna be 150 or less, id pass personally...youd be surprised how hard a rear 16x8 starion is to come by...

as is a full set, i wouldnt pay more than 250-300 depending on condition. the 16x8 and 16x9 id pay between 300-400 depending on condition as well. most usually are in pretty harsh shape and need repair and or restoration... so i would not jump on such a set for more than 250-300. just my opinion.

 

well he said he would go 125, and the local wrecking yard has a few 16x8's also so i think im gonna buy em, plus i need tires super bad, mine are soooo bald its scary, does it look like he has 2 fronts and 1 back though?

 

also will 245/50 tires fit?

 

I have starion wheels in 7 8 and 9. I ran a set of 8s all theway around and it looks very clean in my opinion. Let me see what various pictures i can dig up. I actually still have 8s on thr front of my twin surbo sbf 92 toyota..

 

Here are 8s on all 4. Try not to get 7s, they are a little skinny, amd have a -10 offset i believe. The 8s are positive. Some starions /conquest come with staggered rims. My 8s run 215s, you could run 225. A 245 will fit on a 9. My buddy has a ls1 starion.

 

I remember there were 4 starion castings. A 16x7 -10, a 16x8 with +, a 16x9 with -, and a 16x9 with - so realistically there's a bunch of options. The offset is the most appealing part to me. I test fitted some 14x7s that are like -45mm and they stick out of my 78 a bit further than the bed will stretch. Gives me confidence to find something around -10.

 

ok i bought em, 2 are 16x8 -10 and 1 is 16x8 +18 so im just gonna run the 16x8 -10's for now, there wide as hell lol i need to find another 16x8 +18 so i can run the fronts

 

I have starions as well. I have 4 16x8s and 1 16x7 (spare wheel lol). if you run across another 16x8 -10 ill trade you for a 16x8 +18 I have.

 

Okay thanks for the 8s offsets. I knew there was a negative and positive version. -s were the standard rears, +s were the wide body starion/conquest fronts.

 

well i installed all 3 of the wheels they fit awesome except im still running a crappy front lol, i need to find that 16x8 +18 so i can drop it then get a alignment ill balance all the wheels in my school auto shop also, and ill keep that in mind beyondspexj, except shipping would be horrid

 

Post some pics. Prob looks alot better now.

 

yea i know... ive been looking for one more. i have:
3 16x8 -10 offset
1 16x8 +8 offset
1 16x7 + 18 offset

and it drives me nuts lol

 

will do once my truck gets defrosted lol

 

Spexi, why not just add a 20mm spacer to one of the negative 8s to make it match a positive 8, til you find a match.

 

Exactly what I am going to do. Or if I find one 16x9 (really hard to find) my buddy has another in his garage.

 

Sounds cool. Just keep scooping them as they pop up.

I wonder what a billet wheel company would charge to make a set of starions in 17". Maybe in a 2 piece bolt on design or a welded setup.

 

Don't tease with thoughts like that lol. 16x10....
