johnny g Posted September 23, 2016 Share Posted September 23, 2016 Those wheels are too narrow for the Supra. Stock wheels are 17x8" & 17x9.5", you're too small at the rear. So, even stock width tyres are too big. Get some wider wheels. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Until then need them on my car Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnny g Posted September 23, 2016 Share Posted September 23, 2016 Then I hope you don't have any kind of insurance claim. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ben_harmer32 Posted September 23, 2016 Author Share Posted September 23, 2016 I'm thinking 255/30/19 rear and 235/35/19 front Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TuneR Posted September 26, 2016 Share Posted September 26, 2016 I'm thinking 255/30/19 rear and 235/35/19 front That width would fit fine, i have a 255 on a 8.5" rim that i track and its grand. I haven't worked out the side profiles but have them as close to the stock difference as possible. Rear width on the rear wheel is a bit off but the OEM 16" had a 9" width so its not too bad with the OEM tyre widths. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wouldn't you be better off with a slightly narrower tyre especially on track, less movement of the tyre on the rim, think i'd be fitting a 235 on a 8.5" rim to help reduce the movement and overheating the tread blocks of a rd tyre Edited September 26, 2016 by Dnk (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
