oo i run 255 falkens in the rear and 235 in the front.

they grip mad good, and theyre a harder compound so they dont wear out as fast as my tires tend to do (drifting)

What width? I just ordered some 17x7's (yeah, I'm pooooor) and I'm trying to figure out what size tire would fit best. I'm thinking 215-225/45.

the fronts are 17x8 and the rear are 17x9.

i just put some 215 federals on my front and they are flush with the lip of the wheel.

but if you wanted a little bit of a stretch, which looks nice, then 205s on a 17x7 would be sexy

i have 225/50/r16s stock rims/wheels and kumho tires they grip really well on the hot days and pretty well on the cold days, there good in the rain as well.

And the SideWall is pretty firm as well, I dont lose any traction on the front wheels when corner just on the back when i gas it lol.

I dont know if anyone else found this site but I have been looking for decently priced MKIV wheels and this looks like the best place to me. 1996 Toyota Supra Wheels / Rims & Lights - Found Products
I like that it allows you to get the offset you want that it came with.

I was just wondering if the 17X9.5 in the back and the 17X8 in the front would work out for an 88 without having any fender rubbage.

I run 235/45 17's front and back. Lowered to the max with TEIN flex set to very stiff. This is 9.25 inches wide. No problem with fender rub do to width. Bottom out inside top on wheel well sometimes in front on track under very heavy breaking in turns. Can't go any wider in front but could probably go 10 inches wide on back, and plan to go with an 18 inch by 10 inch wide on next set in the back.

hey all. i just bought a set of kuhmo ecsta AST's for 63 dollars at discount tire. they originally wanted like 97 and i brought in a page from super street that said they were 63 at the discount tire warehouse so they gave me them. i was surprised. ha. but they are stock size and im also running stock rims.


just thought i would share my info if you want some cheap tires. but you have to put them on yourself. haha. but thats what my high school autos class is for!

Default MKiii wheel offset (aftermarket help)

I have an 89, no suspension work yet, i keep wanting to buy some wheels but something that fits the body of the car, doesn't stick out at all b/c of new paint job. Anybody that can give me what offset works well or even a good set of chrome/black/gunmetal 17" wheels, i just need a name of em. Thanks
