Questions before I go speaking to some noob at the local store who knows crap all about Supras and tries to sell me the wrong thing.

What are the general tyre specs I should be looking for in width, profile, size? (comments on 18" vs 19"?)

What offset should I get (and what does this affect)?
Min/max rim width?

Any other info that is good to know.

Grateful for any help.
Your questions can't be answered until we understand BOTH your ultimate horsepower goals, AND your application (roadrace, drag race, autocross, drifting, street racing, daily driving, show-car only, etc., etc.)

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.
