Shane34 Posted December 17, 2020 Share Posted December 17, 2020 Hi Getting some wheels made and planning the trye side of things. What's people's recommendations. Looking at 315, either 30 or 35 side wall unsure as yet. Stock body, yellow billies so not lowered. Looking at semi slick as it's dry use only. R888R are only available from the USA as far as I can tell. Any other personal opinions on which to go for. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drift_bear Posted December 17, 2020 Share Posted December 17, 2020 (edited) I ran AD08R’s on the supra’s and can’t fault them This chart might help as well for Sizes Edited December 17, 2020 by drift_bear (see edit history) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Style Posted December 18, 2020 Share Posted December 18, 2020 You might struggle to fit the wheels with the stock, yellow Bilsteins still on the car. They're quite fat. I had to remove mine and fit BC coilovers when I put my CCW's on (also 11.5/18). As far as tyres go, I've run Michelin Pilot Sports (2's I think) and they've been great. 315/30/18. Tyres in this size are veeeery difficult to get a hold of in the UK for some reason, I had to get mine sent from Germany last time round and were like £240 a corner from memory. I think they are some sort of standard fit for an expensive Porsche, so the markup on tyres in this specific size is ridiculous. Let me know if you find a good source for them in the UK if you decide to go down that route please I don't think I'm too far away from needing a new set Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
suprano Posted December 18, 2020 Share Posted December 18, 2020 They look stunning i seen them for sale and thought about them, what et are they? If you go anything over a 295 i would go with a 30 profile as a 35 will be massive Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think mine will end up wet 45 ish once I add a spacer. But that's for later. What brakes could you run on the set up you had.

Hopefully they don't run out of stock any time soon as I'll need a couple months to recover and buy these! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Damn, that happened to me a few times too. They were just floating around on random websites where the price was too good to be true and I got refunded a few days later to say it was an error or something.
