cntt Posted March 2, 2007 Share Posted March 2, 2007 anyone ever got 18x8 all around??? the reason I want to know is because - I was ringing around for wheels and 2 places gave me the same make and model with 18x8 all round. they ask me what I looking for and what car is it for, so I told them what style I what, and its a 1994 mkiv supra. they came back with that, I asked them isn't they suppose to be 18x 9 on the rear, and they told me thats what they have listed for the 94 supra. should I get them? anyone got wheels that size on? do they look right? cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrickTT Posted March 2, 2007 Share Posted March 2, 2007 I think 18 x 8 would be for the mk iii. The mk iv needs a wider rear, 9" minimum. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daston Posted March 2, 2007 Share Posted March 2, 2007 yeah your going to want fatter rubber for the rear UK spec wheels were 8.5" front 9.5" rear I think (could be totally wrong there) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Havard Posted March 2, 2007 Share Posted March 2, 2007 I have got 18 x 8.5 all round at the moment! Mine is a NA too. I would have thought that the rears would have been wider but mine looks ok for m the back. I know this will have been asked before and I will do a search but how wide a tyre can you get on an 8.5" wheel? H. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
garethr Posted March 2, 2007 Share Posted March 2, 2007 ....how wide a tyre can you get on an 8.5" wheel? There's an "ideal rim-width calculator" on this page http://www.carbibles.com/tyre_bible.html Some of the tyre companies have minimum / recommended / maximum rim widths on their web sites -- Kumho and Cooper have, I think.

Supragaz Posted March 2, 2007 Share Posted March 2, 2007 Got 245/35/18 on front and 275/35/18 on rear I think. I have always been advised that the Supra needs wider wheels/tyres on rear. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
