Will 18 x 9.5 + 35 all the way around fit? If so, what tires out front and what tires out back? Not looking for super stretched and willing to roll. Sorry for my numerous questions on this topic

With all due respect, gentlemen...there are 227 pages in this thread. Would you consider performing due diligence by reading preceeding information? The majority of the questions about wheels, tires, suspension combination, etc..have cookie cutter answers. It's almost guaranteed that the answers are in preceding pages.

I would have to agree. I am sure this is partially directed at me, however in none of the preceding pages did I see a question about the fitment I asked about. I did see the measuring and offset calculator posted, and I guess I just need to stop being lazy and check it out. Time to do some measurements I suppose. It would be nice if someone could post max allowable parameters for stock fenders. If/when I do my measurements to calculate I guess I will post them.

Also, I am not trying to be defensive, Rodel you make a very good point. I think most (including me) are just lazy haha.

i'd rather not read 2000 some pages when i'm sure someone could just come right out and give me an answer. you don't need to be a dick. and i messed up offsets are visa versa

how is anyone being a dick, if anything you are being lazy,

sorry if not everyone on here wants to spoon feed you

it would take 10 seconds to go to the first page and look for a similar size you are interested in and click the highlighted blue link which would take you to a post that shows that particular size/tire combo

Shame that the 1st post isn't being updated, it would have saved a lot of posts (for those who aren't experienced searching first).

I might take som time one day, extending 1st post with more fitments, if a moderator is willing to edit and paste the post.

Will 17x7.5 on both front and rear fit with 42mm offset and 5.90'' backspace?
They'll fit, but will be sunk in.

Yes. 265/35 or 275/35 all around. A good roll will be needed up front.

225/45 or 235/45 front,
245/40 or 255/40 rear.
Treadwear in the 300+








With high confidence, I could say that if everyone searched this thread by using the "search thread," the answers will be found. As I mentioned, the same questions have been asked multiple times. The majority of MK3 owners run common wheel/tire setup.

To see if a wheel will fit, may I suggest starting out by:

1. Find out how much gap you have in your current setup by finding the distance between your current wheels and the innermost portion of the fender lip.
2 use this calculator http://www.1010tires.com/wheeloffsetcalculator.asp. plug in the specs of your current and future setup to find out if your future setup will fit.
3. If u find out your future wheels don't fit, u could either roll your fenders or go with a different wheels setup, then repeat step 2.



FYI, here's a page that has good reference and tools:

Thanks a bunch. This is a side question, but this is something that makes me curious. If I go with this width of tire up front, how bad will the car follow the lines of the road? I have heard that it can happen but don't have much experience with it. The supra is heavier, so I was wondering if it would be that big of a deal. I daily drive my car BTW as that definitely affects the answer.

I have been wanting snow tires for a long time now, and I may have ran into some luck. A friend is trying to get rid of his 16x7 +45 with blizaks on them, will they fit? The stock size is 16x7 +37, the +45s would be less than a cm closer to the strut tower.

Any input on TSW wheels? good bad ???? inperticular the" Carthrage" wheels Fronts 18x8 or 17x8 with 1.75 lip and 18x9.5 with 3" lip my only concern is they only come with 2 off sets + 20 and + 40 so im thinken of going 40 if stock is +37 right??? m,y set-up is compleatly stock and i dont want to deal with rolling fenders etc. also io want some meat on my tires and not super low profiles.... or will i have to have super low profiles because its 18" rims?

what do youy think about running 17 in front and 18s in back on stock suspention?>?

I have read most of this thread and as soon as i think i got it some new info throws me for a loop....

I know the back will fit, and with a 10 or 12mm spacer will be nice and flush, but I'm wondering about the front offset, seems like it might be too low. opinions?

yes the will fit they wil also look funny because they well be more sunk in the stock wheels, you will need spacers.

you can make it work, the front is going to need roll and pull,
