same specs/tyres as front (18x10.5 +18 with 235 federal rs)
Hella flush, nice. the front's going to need some work.
I see the pics, that's why I ask... I may be a bit conventional in my thinking that if you're only gonna run a 235, you might as well run a 7" wheel and save yourself all that unsprung mass, but that's the driver in me talking. Any benefit other than looking a bit silly to have a wheel that wide? Maybe I just don't get it.
Distrurbed, I like what I see of the paint scheme though, wouldn't mind more pics of the car, perhaps from a bit more of a distance?

hey mate. these rims not the ideal fitment for a supra in my opinion also.. but unless u were to order a brand new set of panasports (think 6 k AUD delivered) makign do with what i got. been a rim i always wanted to just had to buy.. (these ones come stright from yahoo japan auctions)
as such, have to run a 235 to give the frotn the best chance of fitting.. should be able to run a 255 on the rear with a bit of a guard roll..
only benefit is current wheels is being 10.5" wide and low offset - have more dish then a 8" rim would unless u talkign -20 offset rims etc..
search my profile and u will see thread on my supra (and my other car which is a soarer)
paint scheme is a workign progress - not finished with it yet.. will be seperatign the colouts with a silver/crome pinstrip/graphics. will look good when finished imo. perhaps not thers cup of tea but since its a track car - wanted to experiment and do somethign a bit different
cheers

you make a fair point. I guess the looks play a part most people's choices for wheels. Personally I think its about finding a balance between form and function with wheels. As disturbed said too, you can't always choose your exact width and offsets on a relative budget.te72;1587012 said:I see the pics, that's why I ask...

does this mean i'll get the poking tires? haha. i want my rims to be some what out of my car, i'll be rolling my fenders as well so ya. I want next to no wheel gap
rear- 18x10 +38
front- 18x8.5 +32
Seems to me it's easier to fill wheel gap with tires rather than wheels...
At +38 offset though, you're 12mm further out than the Mk4 TT's I have on now. Plus, you're a half inch (~12.7mm) wider, so... you'd be closing the fender/edge of wheel gap pretty nicely actually, as I have roughly an inch between the top of my fender and where the wheel is recessed. I plan on fixing that on mine, but not until I can afford some 17x11's and 315's.
As for the fronts, I run the same Mk4TT rear wheels (17x9.5, +50), and they're about as flush as you'd want them without sticking them out. 1" less width, 12mm further out... You'd basically be putting the edge of the wheel in the same spot I have mine. Sounds like a good offset in my tired, sleepless mind, but you might wanna get some input on people going off actual testing rather than my early AM math.
Oh, and Distrubed, I meant no offense man, those wheels are badass, and if you got a good deal on them, all the better. Just gonna be fun trying to fit them to your car... Have you thought of a fender flare like the Mk2?

Check this for a laugh guys. My mate and I were bored so we decided to do a rim swap just to see what it looks like. Well this was prob a world first, my burgundy 86.5 with Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution 6.5 Tommi Mackinnen edition rims. Apart from the fact my car looks like it has a lift kit in it I quite like them.

Thanks a lot for the help!
Came across these custom rims that were on a 240 before
18x9.5 et+6 (front) 18x10 et -8 (rear)
will these fit? LOL i should seriously learn to measure these.. but it's extremely confusing to conceptualize the offsets and how much negative or postive is needed and also playing into account the camber after lowering the car.. and tire size BlAH!
thnx for the help!
Don't mind rolling my fenders
The fronts will fit, and poked outu slightly. Its perfect for the look you want.
The rears however will stick out about an inch. So your going to have to run stretched tires to fit. and if you go low enough you'll need to roll+pull slightly. Also have to rip out all your fender liners.

Genesis, with wheels that wide, you might wanna consider these too:

oh my.... This is perfect HAHAHA! if only i got the $$ to play.
The previously mentioned rims didn't go on sale, the guy backed out saying it must be sold with his semi parted out 240
However, another forum member from the forum just posted FS: a set of advan super racing v2 rims, but total baller size, all 4 rims are 18x10 +12
my guess is, these will be needed == at least for the front... but I am debating if I should get dem.. they are red (my mk3 is also red), the sizing seems way to crazy fro the front...
curse my college student budget!!!

$2600 CAD, here's the craigslist link http://vancouver.en.craigslist.ca/rch/pts/1780891777.html
Not sure if he's OBOing them... cause 2.6 honestly it's a bit hefty for second hand rims, however a few of the forum members vouched that they are near 99.9% mint LOL hence I'm itching to get them but the price tag is discouraging D:
for other 18inchers that are second hand they are going for no more then 1.5k =/
genesis195;1588554 said:
I see them for no lower than 2-2.5k (4k new) in that condition on forums such as Zilvia etc. he will likely not accept less, especially considering those are custom sizing. (usually anything above 9.5"w and +35 is custom in SAR:V2's)

Check out Suprawoman98T over on SF, she had a nice set of SAR Ver 2's for sale for less, and the offsets were more MkIII friendly...18x9, 35mm and 18x10, 30mm. They are bnib's w/ tires too for less!
