yeah dude, you should search when asking something so general but your new so im not gonna rag on ya.

As far as 18's go people have gone as large as 18x10s on the back and 18x9s on the front. MDCmotorsports has fit 315s on the back of his supra

I've got 18x9's w/ 38 offset on the back...275/35 tires. 18x8's w/ 38 offset on the front...235/40 tires. Eibach springs w/ Koni shocks. No rubbing at all. The 18" wheels took out half of the lowering effect of the springs.

Bah, 18 are to big for me!

Looks like a 4x4 without proper suspension. I like to keep it small. Just to give yo uan idea-- here is my supra with 17's......vv





This is with the stock suspension

s383......, I knew when you were the first person that replied to me we were going to butt heads. You post like me. I like the way the 18's look, nice ride dude. That was for jdub. I have the stock 16in. Now, with the exception ot the TURBO'S......, I am faster out of the hole than the both of you. If I thought I could get clearence, I would just purchase some of those really inexpensive white rally wheels, with a perfomance tire, like potenzas' or some mich's. Only they'd be 15in. This car, of mine. Would be like a crotch rocket. But you lose top end. I'll probably end up powder coating these rims that are on the car now.

How's your body sway in high speed corners? I guess what I'm asking is does it break in corners. Maybe i mean body roll, sway. Because you are sitting up quite a bit higher than I am.

My bad s383. That burgandy color, I didn't even notice you didn't have a spoiler. I thought you were a gte. I wouldn't want to pay more for tires than I already do.
That's the true reason behind the 15 inch wheel. I could buy tires at wal-mart for 200$ every six months and just drive the shiat out of them.
