Nice. Very JDM looking, and mesh always looks good on the MK III. Just drop it first, before you put them on! The fenderwell gap with 18's is really silly looking!!!:biglaugh:

I was talking to my friend and he said to go stretched tires. Since I have no power anyways.... that might work. What do you guys think?

Stretching tires isn't for the power, it's for the style.
If you're for the look, go ahead. It's a euro thing as far as I'm concerned. I know a kid with a really nice MK3 Jetta with some 16x9 BBS rims on it. He's running like 195 tires I think.... Stretched to the hilt. No reason for that :p

A little stretch is fine in my eyes, I think that the supra looks best with a lot of tire under it though.
I'd put some 285's on it. Sumitumo HTRZII are cheap and fairly good tires with a wide range of sizes.

Nice rims btw. they look great. I love RBMotoring!

your right the sup does look awsome with alot of rubber in there..

although im not a big fan of the stretched look, i would also think it would heat the sidewall up more due to undesigned sidewall flex.

i like the look of 17/18's with about 255-270 in the front and just under 300 in the rear.. with low profile tires

What kind of tires are on your saws BorHor? They still good?
I have some pirelli. But.. they have to go soon. I think the tires are almost 10 years old. I found a receipt in my car for some tires from 1997. :aigo:
