Rich.2211 Posted January 30, 2014 Share Posted January 30, 2014 Depends if you want to do much arch work on the back or run overfenders Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattdavies Posted January 30, 2014 Share Posted January 30, 2014 Well I run 18x10 ET20 all round and would say the 'Mad' Fronts are good and I would like to run the 'mad' rears, Marc_AB has 18x11 ET22 rears if i remember correctly So........go Mad !!!

Caesard Posted January 30, 2014 Share Posted January 30, 2014 I used to run mad ones 12.5 x 19 ET-12 (7 inch dish) on the rears and 10.5 x 18 ET - 5 on the front (Garson wheels, which are the extremely pricey versions of Professor SSR wheels). Go buck wild :thumbup: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GMan Posted January 30, 2014 Share Posted January 30, 2014 Do you want to roll and pull arches? The problem is that once you do, you will always need wild wheels as anything less will look terrible so no going back if you get tired of them.

Caesard Posted January 30, 2014 Share Posted January 30, 2014 Best to use overfenders. You can make it as stock looking or wild as you wish, but the sheer road presence of wild wheels will make other cars look like something from Benefits Street. Sold my Supra, but will never sell the wheels. Waiting for the right supra to come around. Ask Ibrar, a proper car is built around the wheels, and not vice versa.

MK2 Posted January 30, 2014 Share Posted January 30, 2014 (edited) I used to run mad ones 12.5 x 19 ET-12 (7 inch dish) on the rears and 10.5 x 18 ET - 5 on the front (Garson wheels, which are the extremely pricey versions of Professor SSR wheels). Go buck wild :thumbup: You must have a crazy widebody then. No way these will work with a stock body supra or TRD widebody for that matter ... Ask Ibrar, a proper car is built around the wheels, and not vice versa. Worst advice ever... Just buy proper fitting wheels. Look at Peter Blach his old supras, perfect fitment. dr_jekyll: 11 inch with a +20 offset will not work without looking plain stupid. 9.5 with a +35 for the front and a 11.5 +48 in the back will be flush with the fenders. Low +40 for a 11 inch wheel. In both cases you'll have to roll or cut the rear fenders a bit (cutting has my preferences).

Caesard Posted January 30, 2014 Share Posted January 30, 2014 I travelled to Africa on assignment and couldn't finish paying for it, so the guy sold it to someone else. Was gutted to be honest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dr_jekyll Posted January 30, 2014 Author Share Posted January 30, 2014 ill see if I can get the 11 with a +35 and give the arch a roll . that would be best I think Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamieP Posted January 30, 2014 Share Posted January 30, 2014 11" et20 sounds like the XXR 531's? They won't fit without a lot of work, tyre stretch, camber and arch pull. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dr_jekyll Posted January 30, 2014 Author Share Posted January 30, 2014 I wont stretch tyres would have to be a 295 on them for me. I don't mind a good arch pull to make them fit. thinking ill see if i can get something wide with a more suited offset Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattdavies Posted January 30, 2014 Share Posted January 30, 2014 A good arch pull would get a 11" ET35 in I reckon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dr_jekyll Posted January 30, 2014 Author Share Posted January 30, 2014 ive had 18x 10 +35 with 285/35 on a stock body supra before with just the inner lip rolled back so im sure a bit of a pull will do the trick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J_Supra_07 Posted January 30, 2014 Share Posted January 30, 2014 Wide wheels are a must. What wheels are u going for? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
