Y0 peeps. Ive got my coilovers and some other bits on.

 

I get my Trial wheels back on friday but i need new tyres for the rear. Im going to get Faulken 452's as ive used them before and love them.

 

The only thing im wondering is what width of tyres to get, 265 or 275? The Trial wheels are 18's and 9.5 wide, but the supra is kinda low :p

Looks great on the stock wheels :thumbs: Really like it

 

It does look very low, about the same as mine was on RSR race springs. Though it looked good, it handled like a shopping trolly with such a low and hard ride, very tail happy and unsteady under heavy braking, especially on corners. Changed the springs to Eibach which raised it up and bit and made a massive improvement.

I dont know. Couldnt find it inside the wheel. lol

 

There's normally a stamp or sticker somewhere on the inside wheel section which states the wheel metrics. Check them all as you do need to know the offset to choose the best tyre size.

 

Just as a guide, the stock supra has a 9.5 inch rear and a 255/40 tyre so it'd be best to try and keep inline with that, so on an 18 it'd be close to a 265/35.
