I can put any of these on my stock 87 supra right?
Which rim do you recommend? My supra is my profile pic and I am planning on painting it either black or bayside blue prob black though

If I had to pick one it would be number 5... I don't like any of them to be honest but it is your car and as long as you like it, it doesn't matter what anyone else thinks.

Depending on the offset of the rim it should be fine. I run 265/35/18 tire on the back of my supra and 235/40/18 up front with no rubbing issues at all. So those rims should be fine... Number 5 that is.

^^ agreed. #4 looks terrible....Out of all the wheels #5 is okay, although IMO i would just roll on the stock wheels for now save your $$$ for some deep dish/ staggered wheels. Another $500 and you can get some really nice new wheels.

Like my first post that was quoted... You are planning on painting the car too... So I would say take the money you were going to use to paint the car to buy some staggered wheels. Then save up and paint the car later. Better to save up, buy and do it once then to have to buy two or three sets of rims before you are really happy with your choice.

heres the thing im running snow tires right now so i need to buy tires for the summer very soon. I can either buy new tires and put them on the saw blades or buy rims/tires on craigslist for the same price..and honestly i would never spend that much money on rims if I had a grand I would use that money in a heart beat to swap the ge for a gte. So im just looking for something that would give the supra some character in the summer then the sawblades go back on

What are TT rims? Rims from a twin turbo supra?

Oh well I was unaware you were running snow tires... I guess since the price is pretty good pick up a set of one of the six. They all seem to be priced around 400 dollars. So it shouldn't put a big dent into savings for anything else. And you can always sell them when you are done with them.

Agreed......or save up for some nicer wheels as others have said.


Also, the selections you have all seem to be not wide enough.

Offsets all appear to be FWD stuff. Also, you have no idea how old the tires are on these wheels, if they're over 6 years old they're garbage. Don't look at them as getting wheels and tires, just look at them as wheels with junk tires.

all ugly/skinny/wrong offsets.

save up some more cash and get some TT rims. you can find them fairly cheap, and they will often come with decent stock size (235 and 255 i think) tires.
