i wanna see, cuz like i said, i tried 16" and the front calipers were rubbing against the wheel,
and im saying this from experience, not from a friend

I'm not talking about someone I've just seen around, I've driven it. I'll see about getting you some pics. By the way... if you're still running the stock brakes and you couldn't get 16's to fit they were either very oddly shaped or something's very wrong with your brakes. The stockers, both 5-spoke and sawblades, are 16's. One's a 37 offset the other 38. Do a search on SM, there's a thread about running 15's (with some pics, IIRC).

15's can fit all the way around it depends on the offset and the specific shape and design of the rim.

small rims is way to american looking for me :P

Small rims are good from a dig... typically. I'm about to move up to 17" though.

Supra2NR, it was either the design of the rim or the offset that kept those 16's from fitting. Where did they hit? The face of the caliper?

they ddnt hit the face of the caliper, it was the right offset, i think bcuz it was a reverse lip cuz i had to mount the tires from the back, thats probly why they ddnt fit
but all this time i was saying you cant fit 15" rims cuz i was talking about the front brakes that wouldnt clear

off course, the rear you can fit 15's with no problem
i already did that when i borrowed slicks from a friend of mine

I know what you're saying. I'm saying and a few other people in those threads are saying that YES you can fit SOME 15" rims all the way around.

Supra2NR · 08-12-2007, 03:19 AM

That's what I was looking for, but iddnt see any pics at all

cre · 08-12-2007, 04:49 AM

I was saying that from the beginning.

I'll get pics the next time my friend comes down. He's got two MKIII's and the one with the 15's is rarely driven... but for you, I get pics. The front barely clear, but they do clear and the car drives fine... although I don't think it corners very well. We don't meet up too often, but we're supposed to meet up sometime this week so I can use his laptop to finish tuning my MAFT Pro. Hopefully we'll be able to meet up tomorrow or Monday, I'm sick of running rich.
