jaiscossie Posted August 4, 2006 Share Posted August 4, 2006 I have 18s fitted on my supra and need to find out what width rear wheels i have as am unsure? at the moment i have 245/35/18 tyres on there but want to go up to a 265 or 285 width as the rim sticks out and the tyres look to thin for the rim. just want to make sure they will go on before i order them. many thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alternatively you can measure the width of the wheel. To fit a 265 you will would need at least a 9" width. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guru Posted August 4, 2006 Share Posted August 4, 2006 Well I have 17" rims and my width is 265 on the rears. I would suggest speaking to Ibrar from Pro Alloys.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soonto_HAS_soop Posted August 4, 2006 Share Posted August 4, 2006 Depends, his offset might be wrong for the car, and therefore needs to run thinner tyres to stop any scrubbing. Best have a look at the rear of the wheels, and pics would be good too... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And what about a eight and a half inch rim?Im going to need some new tyres soon and dont know what widths to go for? Got 265 and 235s on at the mo...
