Did you conduct your search in Russian? :)

 

I did a search for 'stock tyre sizes' and was presented with a link to this thread:

 

http://mkivsupra.net/vbb/showthread.php?286066-stock-tyre-sizes&highlight=stock+tyre+sizes

 

Reply number 1 indicates that they are 235/45/17 front and 255/40/17 rear.

 

I have run my Supras (varying tyre sizes, types etc.) at 30psi with no issue.

I typed in tyre size 17 :/

 

Ok so 30psi, i thought they were meant to be much higher than that on stock 17's.

 

would i be ok running 255/45/17 on the rear?

Im not looking to change the width, increase the profile from 40 to 45. Not out of choice out of value for money when it comes to tyre.

 

*Edit*

 

Sorry the first link says its a 3.93% difference, so im guessing that is a straight no no to do then...

 

But if someone in the no could comment that would be great. on the limit and got a very long drive down south tomorrow and only tyres i can get off shelf near me at a cost suitable are 45 profile.

It would gear the car up going to a 45 profile, your speedo will be out too. I'd also imagine your geo would need setting up again to account the size change.

 

I understand your working to a cost but bare in mind with Supra's tyres wouldn't be a place I'd cut cost :)

Its purely the fact that i can't get a tyre in the size that is on the car at the moment, unless i buy online bt places are funny about fitting them then. It had 45 on before and i swapped to 40's but these are now nearly dead. So just need some fresh rubber that isn't 300 quid a tire.
