I think a 17x8.5 should be fine, and look pretty well too. Make sure you get the right offset though... I believe our cars are a +35 to +38 offset, but I'm not sure. Any shop around you that sells aftermarket wheels will be able to help you out with that.

well i have been going around looking for some answers, still dont kno which one, some recommended 17x7.5 for front and 17x 8.5 for the rear, also others recommended 18x7.5 for front and 18x8.5 for the rear i think the 18 would look nice to but maybe a bit heavier on the engine

IMO, 18's look too big on our car... But that's up to personal taste. The extra inch in diameter won't add much more weight than 17's would, and since most aftermarket wheels are made somewhat light-weight, they'll probably still weigh less than the O.E. wheels do. However, larger diameter's will (slightly) reduce your acceleration but increase your overall top speed... Probably not enough to notice. If you do run 18's you'll probably have to run something like a 40 or 45 series tire, whereas the 17's you might be able to get away with a 50 series. Kinda helps keep some rubber on the sidewall.

Pretty much all of this has to do with your personal taste. But if you want an idea of what different types of wheels will look like on your car, click here. I believe that for the model year you will have to pick 1992, as that is the only year they have a MKIII Supra in the "Showroom". Once you have the car picked just click on a wheel manufacturer under the pic of the Supra, select a style, and the size and it'll show you what it'll look like.

well bad news they do not have any 17x8.5 rims for that specific model.... they say they can make a custom one that size but it can take up to 6 to 8 weeks for them to finish up cuz i wanted 5 of those rims.......

What's the closest size they have available for you in that style?

Oh man, that's no good... How much were they going to sell them to you a piece if you have them custom make it?
