That minor point aside, you might try running with a slightly lower tire pressure on the rear (eg. 32psi). Not sure how much horsepower you're running, but if you still spin out with good tires and a moderate tire pressure, perhaps it's time to get some wider rims?

well they are pretty darn wide, I do have a built boost logic transmission with a stall so I don't know if that has anything to do with it, but if you ever hit the high boost setting she likes to just spin! That doesn't bother me at . I really don't drive aggressive, I have had the car 2 months, have not seen 90 mph. Happy Holidays to you & yours

FYI - here's the first thing I did to my Supra to help reduce unwanted wheelspin:

my wheels are 18 x 10 on rear and 18 x 8.5 on front, there is a guy who does what you did to your wheels here in town, my ex brother in law did that to his, pretty amazing stuff.

If your rears are 18x10, you could be running 285s. *shrug*

Awesome. Although not the most frugal choice, this would definitely improve your traction:
