JamieP Posted May 31, 2010 Share Posted May 31, 2010 With my new power im struggling with grip big time, even when i think its not wheel spinning i look in the rear view and its drawing huge number 11's in 3rd and 4th gear. I like the advans but 10" wide is the biggest they come in, thinking about some CCW Classics, 18x10 front and 17x11.5 rear, go with some 315 tyres, what you think? or any other wide wheel suggestions?

JamieP Posted May 31, 2010 Author Share Posted May 31, 2010 What about some nice trafficstars like the ol red one?! Yeah thats a option, would have to 18" max, 12" wide with a 50 offset fits a stock rear body i think, i did see you today btw. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndyT Posted May 31, 2010 Share Posted May 31, 2010 Fast becoming a favourite of mine. LM20's under 10 kg each for 18 x 11.5 wide. Lovely. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kirk Posted May 31, 2010 Share Posted May 31, 2010 Not like the C2Ks? http://www.ccwheel.com/files/wheelprofiles-display.php?id=C2K If i had the money these would be my choice Finished in gloss black http://www.ccwheel.com/files/zoomed-image.php?view=finishes&id=Gloss_Black Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kirk Posted May 31, 2010 Share Posted May 31, 2010 (edited) Ah didnt relise you were after 17s How about LM20s? They have a bit to much lip for me but a good alternate to classics http://www.ccwheel.com/files/zoomed-image.php?view=gallery&make=TOYOTA&model=SUPRA&chassis=MKIV&wheel=LM20&id=04.jpg Edited May 31, 2010 by Kirk (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamieP Posted May 31, 2010 Author Share Posted May 31, 2010 Yeah LM20's look good, im not 100% on the 17" rears yet, cant make my mind up tbh, i like the look of my 17" drag wheels and the grip i get on the street with them is insane, just hooks up and goes.

JamieP Posted May 31, 2010 Author Share Posted May 31, 2010 Just found out the 18" front classics wont clear my brakes so classics are out:( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For me those trafficstars were perfect, loads of lip and all the looks. The ones Lee's now got are very nice too. U can always whip them 17's on for competing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luxluc Posted May 31, 2010 Share Posted May 31, 2010 I thought your 295 would be fine. The power of your Supe must be awesome .. loss of traction even in 4th gear Go for some BF Goodrich G-Force TA at the rear Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamieP Posted May 31, 2010 Author Share Posted May 31, 2010 R888 do a 315/30/18 that will work well i think, Might see if i can find a company that will band my advans. I thought your 295 would be fine. The power of your Supe must be awesome .. loss of traction even in 4th gear Go for some BF Goodrich G-Force TA at the rear Im on 285's. got to be real careful now, if im not 100% on the ball the car keeps trying to kill me.

pistonbroke Posted May 31, 2010 Share Posted May 31, 2010 Whats your budget J? Iforged stuff aint cheap, but your can stipulate how wide you want to go and still get the clearance you need for your calipers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jevansio Posted May 31, 2010 Share Posted May 31, 2010 Classic's rock, tis such a shame they don't even clear UK spec brakes, Pretty sure the LM20's even need a spacer to clear UKs IIRC Nothing in the Volk range? They seem to cater for the wider rear rim, TE37 or CE28n? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamieP Posted May 31, 2010 Author Share Posted May 31, 2010 (edited) 18" et streets might be a good option but they are loads of money and will only last 2 min i suspect, and are they really road legal? they are not E marked. I'm pretty sure you'll win the battle Lets hope so:D Whats your budget J? Not stuck to a budget mate.

Lets hope so:D Not stuck to a budget mate. Been reading a load on SF today & they say not to mix ET streets (the bias ply ones) with radials up front. Reason is that the soft side walls of the streets means the rear end wanders a little, the fronts don't & you end up correcting it all the time. It's safer to have bias ply up front so the whole car wanders the same front & rear. There was one post inparticular I found which summed it all up pretty well, I will find it Try this thread http://www.supraforums.com/forum/showthread.php?t=503211 Edited May 31, 2010 by jevansio (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yup classics are out mate, getting my advans banded is now top of my list and run R888 315/30/18's, gonna do some research:) Been reading a load on SF today & they say not to mix ET streets (the bias ply ones) with radials up front.

Do you think being able to run 315's on 18" will be enough, would 17" 315's not be even better? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Im going to talk with a engineering firm i use tomorrow, im confident he can cut my wheels in half and weld another inch or so in them, i have some other 18" wheels here he could cut up to get a spacer from, gonna measure up what clearance i have on the inside of the wheel and go from there.

jevansio Posted May 31, 2010 Share Posted May 31, 2010 Also is it maybe worth getting the suspension geometry re-done. I'm guessing they can do something to assist with straight line traction, maybe bit more +ve camber? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
