I agree that's the case. My point is that you do actually NEED to pay attention to how you change the Toyota design. The handling and performance balance will be upset not only be upset when disproportionately upgrade your rim size, but also when you increase your boost/hp in a rear wheel drive car. Putting wider rims & tires on the front can increase tendency to oversteer. Increasing rwhp without also increasing rear wheel rim & tire width can further increase oversteer in certain driving conditions. Again, any design change you make to this well-engineered gt sportscar needs to be deliberate and well-thought-out. All imho fwiw ymmv...

NB: Please consider posting any help requests in a new thread instead of asking me for help privately. About 99.9+% of the time, private help requests end up covering great information that could be very valuable to other forum members. If you have a good reason for needing the help request to be private, I'll consider it. If not, then why not give everyone else the opportunity to pitch in too, and/or learn from the information? Remember, there's no such thing as a dumb question. We're all here to help within this family of Supra owners.
