Ossar Posted April 8, 2012 Share Posted April 8, 2012 Hello, I have acquired a set of TTE 18" wheels for my Supra. Questions is will they fit over the large oem calipers on stock suspension without spacers? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tyson Posted April 8, 2012 Share Posted April 8, 2012 Yes they are perfect offset (same as the stock offset) for the supra they just go straight on, lovely looking wheels !! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

More or less what I expected, even if it looks like a tight fit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ossar Posted April 8, 2012 Author Share Posted April 8, 2012 (edited) I was mostly worried about the suspension not clearing the inner part of the rims? Will it be ok with 295 rears and 225 front?

Tyson Posted April 8, 2012 Share Posted April 8, 2012 i haven't fitted them personally but everyone who has fitted them said they are a straight swap, you would have to check about tyre sizes as I am not sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
imi Posted April 8, 2012 Share Posted April 8, 2012 I was mostly worried about the suspension not clearing the inner part of the rims? Will it be ok with 295 rears and 225 front? I run 245s and 285s. think you will be pushing it with 295s. You might need to roll the arches to fit the rears. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tony tt Posted April 8, 2012 Share Posted April 8, 2012 Yip should go straight on i have them on my car no problems but just running a 265 rear at the moment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nemesis Posted April 8, 2012 Share Posted April 8, 2012 Running mine with 275 r888's and they're a perfect fit. 245 fronts. You may want to consider changing tyres altogether, 295 and 225 sounds too wide and too narrow respectively. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great Tyre - had them on my supra for many years, shame we struggle to get them in the UK anymore. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They don't sell in the UK anymore? Tried the online retilers? They are about 170£ a piece there Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nodalmighty Posted April 9, 2012 Share Posted April 9, 2012 I also have a set of these currenty being refurbed by Ibrar. I'll be running 235*45 front and 265*40 rear. I don't believe in over tyring a car, makes it more of a handful in the wet. Lyndon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
