fat wheels

[tissimo]

Ok, I'm looking to get some new wheels soon. I am also going to get my car painted soon as well. I want to fit a 17x11 wheel under the rear.. and a 17x9-10 up front.. 315 in the rear w/ a 255 up front.. so what offset and what not do I need, will it even fit. I am going to get my car painted so need to do any boddy modding before (rolled fenders / pulled fenders or whatever).

not really sure what you need to do, but i heard of MANY people that run just 275's in the here on 17x9's that have to roll the fender and cut a little off, and it still cuts it very close. good luck buddy! when you get this done, i for sure want to see pictures!!!

 

[SupraDreamPDR]

dude, i am almost certain that you would have to roll the rears atleast and probably the fronts too. good luck with this and i want to see the completed pix!!

Damn, well I just heard back from the wheel company and they havn't worked on a mkiii in a LONG time so they are not sure what would fit. they said to bring the car up there and they'd measure it out. I guess I will do that in a month or so..

I think supra Nick or whatever his name is had 18x10.5?? and he had to mod the body a little bit. anyone else on wide wheels?

oh yea, there will deff be pics once its done (6 months or so.. still gotta save some cash)

nick has 18x10.5 I have 18x10... nick HAD to roll his fender and also had them pulled out.. i didnt have to do anything... im not SURE of what tire size he runs.. i run 275 and they fit fine,. I might go to 285's next but only if i dont have to pull the fenders

 

[tissimo]

yea I expected to have to pull the fenders to make it all fit. What offset where your wheels and do you know what offset nicks where?

Aren't Nick's offsets much different as well? Somthing in the +20 range? I have 18x10 and didn't do shit.

whats the offset on your wheels?

 

[jbsupra89t]

Front is 18x9 +46, rear is 18x10 and the offset is a secret, and only me myself and I know...

...or the sticker is just worn off from the years, sorry man :1zhelp:

I have 245-40-18 front (8.5") and 275-35-18 (9.5") in the rear, and the rims fit with no problem at all.

CKanderson, you mind telling me what suspension setup you have?

 

[supramad77]

OK so i just got new rims the other day. I am running 19"/8.5 up front and 19"/10 in the rear. Tyres are 235/35/19 and 265/30/19. Offset are 35 front and 38 rear. No rubbing on this set up but i will say that if i had a wider tyre on this set up it would hit the rear arch as the rim sticks out past the body.
Here are some pics.

Hope this helps.

that's awesome! same exact setup i wanted.... i found some nice 19x10 and 19x8.5 as well. what tires are you running? last time i checked, there are only 2-3 brands if i remember correctly that offer those tire sizes.

 

[supramad77]

They are Kumo i think.

I have 18x8.5" front and 18x9.5" rear with 245/40 and 265/35 and I've caught my front right fender once and pulled it down. I'm a big advocate of wide rims and tires and I'd like to get my fenders professionally rolled when I get back to CA.

Good luck with that fat of a rim setup.

Here are a couple pictures of my Supra for reference.
