The reason it has a 235/45 on is because thats what I had sitting around in the shed.
At the end of the day I would like to run 235 on the front and 255 on the rear give or take
I only grabbed these wheels for trial fitment to see how much room I had
Im looking at a set of Work Equipes at the moment in 18x9 and 18x10 with a +36 offset
Just thought people on here might like to have a look at what a 17x10 +5 looks like on a Supra

thank you for the test fit shots :icon_bigg

i hope to be running a very agressive offset set of wheels in the near future and it was nice to see someone finally toss some wheels with an offset like that on a stock body mk3!

the front seems a bit to crazy for even my taste with that width / offset, but out back it looks really good!

Place an appropriately size tire to match that rim width, and the "low rider" effect will be more obvious / pronounced. That wheel width / offset isn't compatible and doesn't fit - period. To me it's A$$ F'king ugly - my opinion of course. You may adore it, so eh, "beauty is in the eyes of the beholder".

the font has got plenty of clearance and could go in further
Can get full lock in both left and right, even with the lock stops removed from the back of the hubs

10.5 negative all around


very nice! now just get it rolling so you can take me for a ride! on a side note, do you know the offset the work emotions that came on my car were? ive been debating picking a set up but even at their lowest offset i think i might need a small spacer out back.

There made by RUF (porche aftermarket supplier)
There was a certain quantity of these purchased from the manufacturer before they were drilled in Porche PCD (5x130 or something strange I think) and then drilled to 5x114.3
A couple of container loads were brought into NZ and sold to a lot of the local drift guys.
They came in a pottery/brown colour, these 1s were painted and had the lips polished

GTFO then... :icon_conf

92gtapex: if you were just test fitting those wheels what are you going to do with them when you get your new rolling gear?

also do you have a second set of those wheels lying around? :naughty:

Like I said right at the stazrt, these are just for me to see how the cr sits and how much room I have to strut/guard etc.

At the moment Ive just borrowed a pair of these from a mate off of his drift car
(hes now running 18x10 with 225 and 18x11 with 235's)
I may end up purchasing them for a pair of skid rims :icon_razz
