Bor, I have a Supra the same color as the one in your avatar, what rims you recommend? Never bought rims for a blue car.
I was looking at some 18" XXR 502 and maybe 18" MB Battle. Not sure if I should get white or gun metal.

What is your budget? For the 2 choices you listed I like the MB battles more and would go with gun metal but that is just my personal choice.
Budget is about a grand. Not to expensive. I can buy a three grand turbo but can't justify that for rims like HRE's.
Not sure the going price for Enkei RPF1's are currently but I like to recommend those because they are super light and a really good price.
If I remember when I get home I will PS it for you. I can't remember if I had ever put on Battles on my old car.
MK3 -1987 - lowered on tien coilovers....
17"X9" +25 rota p45r w/255/40/17 RE-11's (currently have 2 tires to test fit size, 45% off sale until June30 Canada)
test fit indicates; I should get out the hammer and slightly roll the rear lips.... Prior to paint
looks like the fronts will be poke-ing out 1.5mm... but clear full lock with extra weight (forklift simulating susp load)
.....and I am the kind of person who would rather roll on expensive tires and cheap rims than the other way around....
comments, knowledge, insight...please share

I'll try and do it today. I have 12 hour work days for the next week so not too much free time.
Since I am not going to be home for at least another 5 hours I did this quick chop on my laptop.
You want to know what the widest you can run in the rear? I think Duane did a 11.5 in the rear on his car. I don't remember the offset but I think it was about a +38 or so. I am running a 11.5 +33 right now but it is super tight in the rear with a 295 tire.
O fuck. That looks baddass Bor. What color are those? Gun metal? Any advice on the largest I can run without rolling fenders?
Problem is, I hope they clear big brake kits.

Ya those are the gun metal. Without rolling the fender I would pass on the MB's. They only look good when they are 9.5 +15 and there is no way they will work with stock fenders.
What wheels are they? Have you got any pics? I guess by super tight you are referring to the inner clearance...does it rub on any suspension components at all? If I was going to go that wide I'd like to run at least a 305 or 315, is your 295 stretched on the 11.5? Definitately in for pics if you have any...BorHor;1723758 said:

Search on google or you tube. Plenty of DIY and videos out there. All I can say is take your time.

On the inside I still have a bit more room but on the outside I had to pull slightly. Now that I think about it I believe Duane modded his fenders in the rear to fit his wide wheels. I am running quite of bit of camber though to make a car show a few weeks back. I am going to pull more so I can run less camber.
Here are some pics
