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 Quote 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Best have a look at the rear of the wheels, and pics would be good too... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
