You may end up atleast rolling the fenders so they don't cut your tires, but to answer the tire q. I would stay with 245/40 and 255/40 for a 8.5 and 9.5 wide wheels.

one more question?
with the tire fitment , how would i make the supra look a lil low front the front? instead of having it sitting flat.
i know it has to do with fitments..how would i do that?

There is no point to get stretched tires unless you have to. It will look goofy stretched tires and slightly sunk wheels. Stretch tires don't look good unless your slammed. If you want.flush fitment go with 9.5+15 all around and with the 225/40 on them. The +35 & +38 will end up sunk if you lower it a lot you get natural camber that brings the top of the wheel closer to the chassis.

Ya, if you want flush fitment you would be more satisfied with +25 offsets. The +35 will be close though. The lower the offset the more the wheel is going to poke.

Thanks for the reply Sterlingae, YEAH it is aggressive but they will look so dam good! So if I just bolt up the wheel with a +10 offset, would that touch the Coilovers or would it clear, Im going to be fitting them tonight anyways but better to be ready with the right information.

Does anybody with experience have recommendations on tires for 17x9 +24 all around? Discount tire is telling me their computer says it's gonna rub. From earlier in the thread, I was told they will be fine. I test fitted, and it looked ok, but not sure how tires are going to factor in. I was thinking 245/40/17 for all four, but once I mount them I'm not going to be able to return them. Want to get this right before I make a mistake, if anybody has experience with this sizing or close to it, input would be much appreciated.

^I have a set of Rota 17X9 +25... they poke out on a stock MK3 about a MM or 2.... with a fender roll I was able to achieve flushness...

I had considered having them machined down to +24 or +23 but the fender roller did the trick, (with some hammer help)
