gaz1 Posted March 26, 2008 Share Posted March 26, 2008 handling will be far from perfect, you would possibly need to roll the arches to stop any rubbing on the tyres;) loads of people are running with 19" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NUTKIN Posted March 26, 2008 Share Posted March 26, 2008 They look good but thats it really, The handling is way off on mine i find my 10x18's are the best with two in the back it gives my mates Evo a run on the bends. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supra_surj Posted March 26, 2008 Share Posted March 26, 2008 Is the handling on 19s due to the fronts? what i mean is if the fronts were 18s and the rear 19s would the handling be any better? is tramlining etc..? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest rhd_2jz Posted March 26, 2008 Share Posted March 26, 2008 Well i originally wanted to run 18's but am running into the issue of not finding wheels wide enough for the rear.... only finding 8.5 or maybe 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
merckx Posted March 26, 2008 Share Posted March 26, 2008 Hello. I've got 19's and I don't have any problems at all. Well i originally wanted to run 18's but am running into the issue of not finding wheels wide enough for the rear.... only finding 8.5 or maybe 9 I'm taking you've already looked on supraforums.com? If you want to find fellow Supra owners with wide wheels then there isn't a better place to look. handling will be far from perfect, you would possibly need to roll the arches to stop any rubbing on the tyres;) loads of people are running with 19" When you fit larger wheels the aim is to keep the tyre diameter more or less the same as stock by reducing the sidewall height and therefore fitting 19's won't give any more problems than 18's if you make sure you select the correct offsets and tyre sizes.

hoff Posted March 27, 2008 Share Posted March 27, 2008 My 19's are fine for normal daily driving. You get some tramling and the ride is a little bumpier but I can live with that. The worst bit of having 19s for me is that you cant corner as fast. If you do go for 19s get a good geo/4 wheel alignment done. This should improve the handling. As I said though Im happy enough with mine but if you want a better spirited drive I'd go no bigger than 18s personally as they are a good compromise between looks and handling. Whats your budget and what style of wheel are you looking for? You should be able to find a set of 18 x 8.5 and 18 x 9.5 for around £1300, such as Rota GTR's:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
