anyone know the ideal offset and width for a 16" wheel upgrade for the nze?
i was thinking +40 on a 7jj wheel?

anyone know the ideal offset and width for a 16" wheel upgrade for the nze?

I don't know about the ideal offset, but am running 16s with 7.5" width and +38 offset.
It handles good. No inner tire touching at full lock, but with the front tires, the outer sides protrude outside the front fenders by about 2mm. The outside of the back tires are almost flush with the back fenders. The sides get dirty quick when rain falls, but they give a mean appearance with wide tires that flush with the sides.

+40 on 7" width should be better

Using the site below and comparing my existing with your proposal, yours will have 4mm more inner clearance and the outer position will retract by 8 mm which is really good in my opinion (no protrusion outside the fender so anything pulled up by the tires will not mess up the sides).

naw ac needs to be gassed

[toyota2nr]

Gas up and see if it works otherwise I would check the compressor.

[dan86]

At the others suggested above, it may be low refrigerant or the compressor is on its way out.

Try this for the refrigerant part: (Taken from corolla repair manual)

With all doors open, engine running at 1500 rpm, and fan on max position,
check for bubbles in the sight glass.

Diagnosis:
Bubbles present and not sufficient cooling inside - insufficient refrigerant

No bubbles present and not sufficient cooling inside - refrigerant empty or almost empty
No bubbles present and considerable cooling inside - correct or too much refirgerant (see below)
Immediately after AC is turned off, refregerant turns clear - too much refrigerant
Immediately after AC is turned off, refrigerant foams and then turns clear - correct amount

I wash the outside my condenser and radiator when I notice the AC isnt freezing on hot days, and this helps to make it cold again. Muck builds up over time and reduces the efficiency

Best thing is to check a good AC person and let them check it. They would know if its low refrigerant, or the compressor discharge pressure is low. If the refrigerant is good, it could be the condenser needs an external cleaning.

[toyota2nr]

Had a problem like that in my AE100 Corolla. Turned out was the compressor.

[The Outlaw]

thanks for all the help thus far,will get another ac guy to check it out.First guy gassed it up then he said that the compressor may be going,i just wanted to get some general feedback from you all.Thanks again.

[EL JEFE]
