Vaughany Posted March 24, 2008 Share Posted March 24, 2008 you need to go at least 8.5 on the front and 9.5 on the rear mate, this was the width of the stock wheels. Remember the stock supra came with a 255 rear and and a 225 front I believe. I believe a 7.5" wheel is recommended for upto a 225 tyre only.

imi Posted March 24, 2008 Share Posted March 24, 2008 you need to go at least 8.5 on the front and 9.5 on the rear mate, No you dont; you can easily run 8 on the front and 9 on the rears. there is a FAQ on the forum on wheel and tyre sizes, read up on that - it includes a very useful excel spreadsheet with an in-built calculator.

You may be able to run a narrower wheel but why would you want to? If your plans are to run the same or a larger tyre width than the standard supra. It is probably best to run at least the same width wheel as stock. At least this way, it gives you room to manover if you decide to run wider tyres at a later date.

AgtX80 Posted March 24, 2008 Share Posted March 24, 2008 my stock wheels are 225 - 245. What did the NA come with? cause surely they dont need as wider rear tyre as the tt version? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hodge Posted March 24, 2008 Share Posted March 24, 2008 my rears are 10.5 and I have no problems with them catching even before I fitted the overfenders. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
