How Big Can You Go???

[suprabad]

After seeing mkiii's with 19" wheels and tires I think that's the way to go. Looks great! Does anyone know how wide of tire and at what profile (35's, 40's etc) you can go on a mkiii without getting into rubbing the inner fenderwells or other problems? What affect might this have on handling and ride etc?

this is the largest i have seen... 18x8.5 and 18x9.5

i honostly wouldn't want to go larger heh :gotrice:

I've seen 19s, they can be made to fit.

I wouldn't suggest it myself, you need tires that are so low profile it's impossible to get any traction, and on a car with the power potential of the Supra, it's a quick way to regret spending money on wheels.

I had 18's before, and would problee do 19's next. Some 19's with a thin spoke would look HUUUUGE. hell, some 18's with a thin spoke look huge.

18/8 18/9's here in Mk4 fitment no probs.

I'm using 35 tires as it gives a bit more sidewall on the rears.

i currently have a set of Nitto 555 245/40 zr18 on 18.5 zenetti vega's. the fron t rubbed a hole in the inner fender plastic without it being lowered

No more then 18's... 19's make the car look SMALL but the wheels look HUGE. Looks retarded.

I have 16"s. 17"s will be fine

believe it or not a local guy in allen tx had a set of 20's on his car. chromed out and everything looked god awful

was it a white MkIII with really bad gay rims? I remember seeing that

Here is a pic of 17" on mine. Note that my car is NOT lowered, so it doesn't quite look right - too much wheel gap, however with proper lowering, I am confident that 16-18" looks best on the MkIII. Anything bigger is superfluous and ridiculous.
