17 inch tire fitment question

[silvergsx623]

I picked up some used 17 inch rota wheels for my supra and i was wondering whats the widest tire i can run on the back with out having fitment issues.

Id like to fit some 315 35 17s on the rear.

Thats what i have on my SS and i love the look.

Any of you guys run this size tire?

Edit* the car has eibach springs

315's are some really wide tires on a MK3 application.. I dont think that you'd bea able to fit something like that without flaring the fenders? Also what kinda offset are you thinking about?

I don't think Rota makes a 17" wide enough to properly seat a 315 tire.

 

[silvergsx623]

Im not sure the offset,

to measure that, i find the midpoint of the rim and measuse how far from the outer lip to the inside of where the lugs go , and the difference is the +/- offset ?

Whats the widest tire you guys think would fit?

 

[RHDMK3]

265's maybe.. I can see a set of those fitting underneath there..

 

[rot 90na-t]

depending on your wheel width/offset you could definitely fit a 275, maybe 295 if you roll the fenders..

alrighty cool, thanks guys

if i'm not mistaken the widest rota wheel is only 8.5 inches wide. that's a 255...maybe you can squeeze a 275 on there but it's pushing it.

^ yea I doubt rota makes anythin under a 18" wheel that could fit 315's


rota's are junk imo
they are knock off kings
leave those for the honda guys

lol i got em for free. i traded an old intercooler i had. I powder coated them and pollished the lip.

so i guess i have about 20 bucks in them lol

well tire is good,im able to fit on rear 275 with 17x9s and is safe.pushing it 285s.

 

[silvergsx623]

I dont understand how people can give you advice when you havent given us any information. If you have a 7 inch wide rim how the hell are you going to fit 285's? You might want to look into offsets as well...they kinda affect things.
