11.5" width on the rear rims is the main thing (with the correct offset and bolt pattern, of course). The diameter isn't that important ... any thing from 17" diameter through 20" diameter works fine - just be sure you can get the rubber to match. Don't forget - no low profile rubber on the rear - you need some flex to the rear sidewall to ensure traction. Check out tirerack.com ahead of time for available sizes. On the front, a 9.5" wide rim matches the 11.5" rear rim just fine. If you want to install a bigger front brake kit someday (roadracing application), you probably need at least an 18" diameter.

I'm glad to help! Welcome to the Mkiv Supra Turbo 'brotherhood'!

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.
