Guest suprastar380bhp Posted November 21, 2009 Share Posted November 21, 2009 Are 20 inch alloys too big for the supra or will they fit?.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michael Posted November 21, 2009 Share Posted November 21, 2009 They will fit. Too big to handle well IMO. May need arch mods and lowering to stop the car looking like a 4x4. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest suprastar380bhp Posted November 21, 2009 Share Posted November 21, 2009 ive been told if i do i need to wrap the springs with some dampeners that they use for towing caravans to stop the wheel arches from rubbing on the tyres or to get the arches rolled if i dont wanna buy new springs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jimojameso Posted November 21, 2009 Share Posted November 21, 2009 Stop being silly. There far too big for a supra. Get 18's if you want it to handle well and look good. 19's if your a big tart and worried about my wheels being samller than yours!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lbm Posted November 21, 2009 Share Posted November 21, 2009 How about 22s? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dr_jekyll Posted November 21, 2009 Share Posted November 21, 2009 18 max for a supe imho, looks good and with the rite tyres and suspension it will still handle well, and you can still get big brakes behind them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

supramkivcork Posted November 21, 2009 Share Posted November 21, 2009 Not an extremely wise idea to have 20"'s on your supra if you want the handling to be anyway reasonable. Some wheels in that size can look decent enough on a show car but thats about it really. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott Posted November 21, 2009 Share Posted November 21, 2009 20's are fine, the ride will just be a bit shite. They will be pricey if you want the right sizes and offsets though. You will most likely have to roll the arches as, in order to have a half decent ride quality, you will need to have a bigger rolling radius so that the tyre profile is decent. Don't worry about people talking about the handling. My guess is, in most cases, they couldn't drive on 18's any better than they could on no wheels. I'm one of those people, I never drive on the edge so the handling of my 19's has never been an area of concern for me. I do notice the difference in road noise, tram lining and comfort though.

Some wheels in that size can look decent enough on a show car but thats about it really. It is possible & all you really need to do is roll the arches to get them to fit, though this is just the first part. If you want to keep the Supra on the road then you will have to get a Geo setup & chances in order to have it running properly, most likely will be recommended some coilovers or a change of springs\dampers. This means it will cost a lot of money but handling will not be as good as say someone on 17's. Hope this helps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tricky-Ricky Posted November 21, 2009 Share Posted November 21, 2009 It all depends if you want to actually drive the car, or just pose in it:rolleyes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SupraAyf Posted November 21, 2009 Share Posted November 21, 2009 Are 20 inch alloys too big for the supra or will they fit?.... There's a great deal more to the science of correct wheels & tyre fitment than just the diameter. You will need to consider wheel width and offset, tyre size and suspension set-up etc. Without the above info then no one should be giving you any specific advice or else they are just 'bluffing it' IMO;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In order to keep overall wheel diameter (which is what the suspension geometry was designed around after all) you will need to run very low profiles to run 20" wheels, therefor completely destroying the ride quality and the handling, IF you then match the dampers and springs to compensate for the crap ride, that will also destroy the handling and lead to arch fouling as well. Just my opinion, well just common sense really. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep, I fully agree but if he wants 20's then he will need to conisder all parts of the equation;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jevansio Posted November 21, 2009 Share Posted November 21, 2009 My car felt sooo much better on 18's than 19's. 19's felt unsettled, 18's felt planted. My 30-130 time also dropped. I can only imagine what 20's will be like. I know people like Dimitri & Ernie both say that well setup 20's are fine, but as much as I respect them, on this subject I'm not convinced Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
