TIRE SIZE

[supraman508]

I HAVE A 1988 TOYOTA SUPRA NON-TURBO THAT HAS 205/55/R16 TIRES.I WANT TO KNOW WHAT IS THE WIDEST TIRE SIZE I CAN PUT ON MY FACTORY RIMS.I KNOW THAT I CAN PUT ON 225/55/R16.BUT I HAVE A TIRE FETISH AND LIKE WIDE LOOKING TIRES THAT GIVE IT A MUSCLE CAR LOOK.

I run 245-50/16's F1's on mine I love em. I've had to rotate them either, this is the second set of goodyears I've had.

245/50's are as wide as you should go on stock rims, but I have heard 265's will fit, but there are some sidwall issues w/regard to safety and performance.

PEOPLE ARE GOING TO GIVE YOU SHIT FOR TYPING IN CAPS.

Shouldn't go more than 245's on stock rims.

I like my 225's.
205 is boooooooo!!!

 

[SupraKingz]

What about if you had wider rims what would be the biggest recommended for the rear end before clearance issues would happen? What size would be biggest and best for performance and looks. Because I'm looking at some dunlop's that are 275's and was wondering if they'd fit an stock rear end with 8.5" wide rims.

 

[supraman508]

Booooooo is rite.205 is the size for the dam donut for the car.

285/35/18's on 9" rims

Fair warning when you go to get your tires mounted. Make sure you go to a competent shop.When i wanted mine mounted i had to go to 3 different shops, and waste hours at each one.

 

[SupraKingz]

Are there any clearance issue regarding bottoming out or rubbing against anything or have you had any rubbing from racing or anything.

 

[IJ.]

Only had to trim the side molding where it wraps under.

I run 265/35's on the same rims on the front and if I drop it any lower it'll rub the plastics on full compression.
