Fitz Posted January 24, 2009 Share Posted January 24, 2009 Right, So I've finally decided to buy some new wheels/tyres as mine are looking old and corroded (not doing the supra any justice ). Just been looking around at some sites (i.e http://www.wheelbase.com) as they do a wheel and tyre package but I'm not sure if they will supply the right tyre sizes for the supra (225/40/17) for the front (255/40/17) for the back. They haven't replied to my query yet about the sizes but I'd just thought i'd ask on here if anyone knows a place where I can get a good wheel and tyre package? Thanks Any Info would be most appreciative. Cliff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigbloodyturbo Posted January 25, 2009 Share Posted January 25, 2009 I have been having this problem for a good while now, it seems that hardly anyone makes a wheel in 17" or 18" with the correct offset for the supra. The only wheels I can find around here that are close to +50 offset are far to narrow and they still use hubcentric rings, the only wheels thats come close are lexus IS250 wheels as they are 17" with a spigot hole size of 60.1 and an offset of 45 or 50 (cant remember) but unfortunately they are only 8j wide. I think stockers or lexus gs300 sport wheels are the only options and the latter is nearly £1200 from toyota motorsport in Germany. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hoff Posted January 25, 2009 Share Posted January 25, 2009 Why not try the traders on here? Envy, Whifbitz and Ibrar (speedwells) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fitz Posted January 25, 2009 Author Share Posted January 25, 2009 Always worth a try, I'm hoping it's a wheel & tyre combo. That way it's a striaght swap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
