They are 17 X 8 +38. They would sit about 1/2" in and out more then stock rims. So if you think your stock MK3 rims look aiight then they will work for you. But personally the offset is a little too high for me. But some think I am nuts :p

New wheels I just got. 18x8.5 in the front with a 245/35 on it and 18x9.5 in the rear with 275/35 on it. Haven't spent any money on suspension yet because my money is going towards another part of the car first. So I still have a 4x4 Supra. Sorry about the cell phone pics, my girlfriend stole my camera.

Okay first post has all the fitment with pics. If I missed one tell me and I will add it. I will update it every once in a while when new fitments are added. I think I will figure out a way to organize the data too later.

With spacers or what? all sawblades are +38 offset.

We need to know some stuff. Aka. your ride height, if you are willing to roll your fenders, etc.

Spacers? is that to make the tire stick out.. as in past the normal fender?


roll my fenders?


height of my ride? stock, the way it came. I dont plan to make changes. I like the height it is now... my old body cant go any lower...lol

does anyone have pics of their sawblades with these different sizes/offsets/etc so that i can see, visualize what all are talking about....(seriously)

hey guys, i played musical wheels today... some cool stuff happened.

before:
Fr- 17x9.5 +50mm MKIV's with Nitto 555R 315/30 DRs. only rubbed the last 1/16th turn before lock. hits front sway bar.
Rr- 16x7 +37mm Sawblades with Maypop's... burned them down everywhere.

After:
Fr- 18x10 +44mm Volk GT-U's with bridgestone S-02 295/35. may rub the fender during compression while turning
Rr- 17x9.5 +50mm MKIV's with Nitto 555R 315/30 DRs... dont seem to rub anything yet.

i wish i was rich... id get 18x10 +47 for the front and 18x11 +50 or +55 custom fitments... and run these same tire sizes, 295/35 and 315/30's except id have wheels that would create a square sidewall fitment.

i gotta run for now but ill post up the pics of the car w/ these wheels

I am surprised with with such high offsets it doesn't rub in the rear with the coil. Then again you are higher then I am haha.

With such big tires/wheel combos compared to stock, what would the handleing be in comparison?? would they be worse or better?.. we all know the looks are there. would it alter the ride factor, would it make the car 'go all over the road' as in follow all the bumps and make it difficult to manage?

stock would be like 16x7x 225 all round

to say like uno

18x8.5(and above) 245(and bigger) size tires on front?
18x9(and above) 255(and bigger) on the rear?
Or is this a dumb question lol, cheers
