SupraDan24 Posted November 24, 2011 Share Posted November 24, 2011 I've slowly been transformng my Supra over the last year to get it too look how i wanted it. The last thing i needed was some nice deep dishes as i love the look and i've never been 100% happy with my Volks. I bought a set of JDM ABC Exclusives yesterday and can't wait to get them polished up and fitted over winter with some nice new rubber. They may not be too everyones tastes but i like em Here they are, thoughts opinions etc welcome And one that he hand polished to show how they come up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marcAB10 Posted November 24, 2011 Share Posted November 24, 2011 I will reserve judgement till they are on the car but so far they look good, especially after the polish. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I got them at a pretty good price so if they dont look right i'll sell them on and the hunt will continue lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Westy Posted November 24, 2011 Share Posted November 24, 2011 They look alright from those pics...hard to tell til on the car though!? Rear two in first pic are taking the stretched look a little far though! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

supra steveo Posted November 24, 2011 Share Posted November 24, 2011 what width are the rear wheels ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dnk Posted November 24, 2011 Share Posted November 24, 2011 Sorry to be negative but their not my cup of tea Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jamesy Posted November 24, 2011 Share Posted November 24, 2011 Good choice mate - once they're cleaned up and fitted they will look really good - and thats a nice bit of rear dish you got going on Plus at the sizes and offsets they are going to look nice and agressive in the arch Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Noz Posted November 24, 2011 Share Posted November 24, 2011 they look nice IMO. good clean up and your sorted. just want to let you know that your rear tyres aren't big enough. safety first Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SupraDan24 Posted November 24, 2011 Author Share Posted November 24, 2011 Widths are: 9J fronts, 10J Rears. All 4 are ET32. I know they wont be everyones cup of tea and there are better wheels out there, but i'm saving up for a house so i'm trying to keep myself on a budget, and not fork out £1300+ for some VS-xx's that i know i want. I paid £600 for them with tyres which i think is a good price, so if i dont like them in the flesh i'll sell them on and make my money back easily.

Jamesy Posted November 24, 2011 Share Posted November 24, 2011 That is gonna be a MEGA stretch on those rears mate!! :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SupraDan24 Posted November 24, 2011 Author Share Posted November 24, 2011 Lol i'm replacing the tyres fella, i'm thinking maybe Avon ZZ3's all round. What size do you think i should go with, 275's? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jamesy Posted November 24, 2011 Share Posted November 24, 2011 do you want a stretched look mate? ive always liked the stretch look, although its not everyones cup of tea, and i cant run it on mine as i need the tyres as wide as possible for traction Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dnk Posted November 24, 2011 Share Posted November 24, 2011 Fit the correct size 245 or 255 front and 265 or 275 rear Use the tyre calculator below to get the correct profile size http://www.etyres.co.uk/tyre-size-calculator.htm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SupraDan24 Posted November 24, 2011 Author Share Posted November 24, 2011 (edited) do you want a stretched look mate? ive always liked the stretch look, although its not everyones cup of tea, and i cant run it on mine as i need the tyres as wide as possible for traction I do like the stretched look, but i think 225's is a bit much lol. Plus i want some decent tyres on there as i'm going BPU over winter and theres no point having 400+ bhp if you cant put it down on the road....or avoid ploughing into a wall haha. I'm thinking 255s front and 275's rear atm. How does having them stretched effect driveability and lifetime of the tyres? I assume it'll shorten their lifespan and i wont have as much traction?

kill1308 Posted November 24, 2011 Share Posted November 24, 2011 Not a fan sorry, I've never liked these kind of style wheels on a Supra. If you like it though, that's the main thing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Different tyres at the same size will be narrower or wider than others - falken 452's always come up small. I fitted 225's to my 9.5j wheel and even for me it was a little too much stretch so i changed to a 245 now which has a small stretch which helps with clearance. For the rears, 275 would be a fluish fit, or a 265 will give a little stretch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brazil Posted November 24, 2011 Share Posted November 24, 2011 I've got bridgestone potenza's 245/30/19--9.5J in the front and 285/30/19--10.5J in the rear. The front tyres are new because I had to replace due to a puncher my rears need replaced. I am thinking of trying the Michelin Pilot Sport 2 next..!
