Macer Posted March 18, 2005 Share Posted March 18, 2005 Here's mine... I gotta say, Jay's TRD3000 is one fantastic looking Supra... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Homer Posted March 18, 2005 Share Posted March 18, 2005 Here's mine... Now thats one lovely looking supra IMO: Some slightly wider tyres (or if they don't fit, slightly narrower wheels) + correct suspension geometry would set that off a treat and probably drive a damn site better.

Huh? his car looks fine I think the design of the wheel make them look narrower than they are. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nic Posted March 18, 2005 Share Posted March 18, 2005 These are a bit old, now fitted with clear side markers. Click link in my sig for full spec. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Macer Posted March 19, 2005 Share Posted March 19, 2005 Thanks guys! It's got 265/35's on the rear, which I think is right for an 18". Any wider and the rolling radius isn't right. It's had a laser alignment done so the geometry's ok, although there's always gonna be slightly different opinions on what setups right...

Homer Posted March 19, 2005 Share Posted March 19, 2005 It looks like the tyres are too narrow for the wheels, kind of 'folded in'. I've driven a couple of Supras that have had 17s and 18s with way too big wheel sizes and narrow tyres (obviously to avoid rubbing) and they have all had bad handling and alignment issues. Two of the cars swapped to stock 17s and had a full laser alignment and it made a world of difference. However, it sure looks like Macers tyres are way too narrow for the wheels (or the wheels are too wide to fit appropriate size tyres).

It's had a laser alignment done so the geometry's ok, although there's always gonna be slightly different opinions on what setups right... The width and offset of the wheel is what is important, its worth checking you have the right ones as both the rear and front wheels seem to be a lot wider than the tyres are meant for (IMO!). I had the same issue with my previous Blitz wheels and it really effected the handling and tyre wear! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Macer Posted March 19, 2005 Share Posted March 19, 2005 I got the car from Newera... Highly recommended I'll definately be going back there - probably for another Supra I was gonna go out and check the offset - but I just remebered the cars down at Option Motorsport Can't remeber the offset's off the top of my head...

Though I know some members have had some issues with cars they have brought in, Newera are quite well respected in terms of the quality of their cars. However, they won't care for making sure you have a car set up correctly for UK roads. If you buy a car that has wheels, tyres and suspension geometry from Japan you should not assume it will work well on UK roads. Many new Supra owners I've met have bitched about the 'terrible' handling of the supra, but still have the same tyres, wheels and suspension the car had on from Japan. The roads in the UK and Japan are completely different and need different setups. You'll be best off checking you have the right size wheels, getting some decent GOOD, NEW tyres on there and getting the suspension realigned. Trust me (and others here) it will make the absolute world of difference! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Macer Posted March 19, 2005 Share Posted March 19, 2005 I have the car just over two years, so it's had a few sets of tyres on there!! The alignments also been done a couple of times... Never any handling or tyre wear problems... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
