Wheel question (flame on)

[Caplax40]

Probably going to get flamed for this, BUT:

Will a 17.7.5 wheel with a +41 offset fit well on the MKIII? Is 7.5 too narrow? Reason I ask is, I found some wheels that I really like (unless you can find me a 5 Zigen FN10R-C in black for the Supra) and this is the only size I can find.

Then I gotta ask next, what size of tires would be best for this setup?

5 Zigen makes the FN01R-C's in black unless they discontinued them.

Anyways, yes that wheel size that you listed will fit the MKIII. As for tire size, my seguestion is 235-45-17. This size is ever so slightly larger in diameter then stock tire size, but not enough to cause any problems and only about a MPH or so in speedo error, which chances are, your speedo is already incorrect as mechanical speedo are not that accurate to begin with and with age comes more inaccuracy.

black wheels are sexy

Yeah MAtte black is what I want, but I can' seem to find them. On 5Zigen's site they list the wheel in only one size: 17x10 and it says "Supra Rear" and it doesn't list Matte Black as being available. Who sells 5Zigen's online?

are you gun-ho about having 10's on the rear? 8's and 9's are both availible in the Matt black. The wheels that are on my car in my sig. are FN01R-C's 17x8 in the front and 17x9 in the rear, both with 43mm offsets. 245/45/17 front and 275/40/17 rear. Fits perfect.

I love those polished lip wheels.

Would the 5zigen's that Driftmotion has on their site be overkill? I'm guessing that the 17x10" rim is for the rear and the 17x9" is for the front. I'm looking for show to match some go with my Turbo. Does anyone on here have these rims? I'm thinking a red '89 turbo with dark tinted windows sitting on Matte Black rims would look pretty nice.
