marcAB10 Posted February 28, 2011 Author Share Posted February 28, 2011 This is a falken 275 on a 11" wide wheel. http://i30.photobucket.com/albums/c338/jamie450x/newwide033.jpg thanks, that looks like a fine stretch imo i don't mind going down in tyre size just as long as it doesn't look rediculously stretched iykwim.

If you watch the video of my car that pistonbroke did there is some good footage of the stretch in that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JamieP Posted February 28, 2011 Share Posted February 28, 2011 they was 19's, I will have to check my receipts, or maybe pm davej705, he has them now. Have you gone 18" or 19"? i have 275's on my fikse 18x11 front wheels an all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James Posted February 28, 2011 Share Posted February 28, 2011 Wheels will be amazing when on! Only thing you'll need after these are UK spec (or other) brakes to sit nicely behind them I have some catching up to do! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have you gone 18" or 19"? i have 275's on my fikse 18x11 front wheels an all. went for exactly the same as Jamsey with his SSR's, so - 18x9.5 et25 fronts 18x11 et24 rears and yeah, will fire him a PM, cheers. Wheels will be amazing when on! Only thing you'll need after these are UK spec (or other) brakes to sit nicely behind them I have some catching up to do! yep, brakes are on the list, at my power lever with uprated pads and disks the jspecs are holding up well so i keep forgetting about the UKers.

JamieP Posted February 28, 2011 Share Posted February 28, 2011 and you think with that offset/tyre combo with rolled/shaved arches it shouldn't scuff too much then? Im not sure, going by what Jamesy has fitted i think you will be ok, as you know my arches are heavily modded, my front wheels are 18x11 et24, if you was closer id let you try them on the rear of yours.

jazz1 Posted February 28, 2011 Share Posted February 28, 2011 This is when I tried a 275/30/19 on 12" rear , bad thinking couple years back. http://www.mkivsupra.net/vbb/attachment.php?attachmentid=50354&d=1169312156 http://www.mkivsupra.net/vbb/attachment.php?attachmentid=50355&d=1169312156 http://www.mkivsupra.net/vbb/attachment.php?attachmentid=50356&d=1169312156 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have new 265/35/18 on my current wheels so if it does seem to rub with the 275 i can always try throwing them on and see. thanks for the info mate.

Blackie Posted February 28, 2011 Share Posted February 28, 2011 sweet, You're not going "Eurostyle" with the tyres are you? (Nope, Im not reading the whole thread) i'd love your old ones on mine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(Nope, Im not reading the whole thread) i'd love your old ones on mine well.. it depends what you mean about the tyres.. it will have stretch yes but i wouldn't say it will look euro style at all. And my old ones will most likely be going up for sale once the new ones arrive (i allready have a set of 17's for winter).. but i think Alex had first dibs, he might not be interested by then though, will wait and see Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marcAB10 Posted March 1, 2011 Author Share Posted March 1, 2011 Offset had to change slightly.. What Wok said they could do- 18x9.5 ....closest is +24 18x11..... closest is +22 ^That would make the front 1mm more outward and the rear 2mm outward. I've just agreed to that, I'm hoping it won't make too much difference.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pistonbroke Posted March 1, 2011 Share Posted March 1, 2011 In for the pics.... I have always admired your car Marc, but I've secretly always thought you could do with better wheels. Now, with these new ones, it's going to be one of the best Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now, with these new ones, it's going to be one of the best cheers bud, and I agree, I do like my current ones as I said and for the price they have really held up superb but the new ones should be a lot better.

marc_p Posted March 1, 2011 Share Posted March 1, 2011 Personally, I'd go for a higher offset, with full size tires, after much research, I've finally decided on wheels and tires, I'm going for the 19x11.5 on a +42 offset with a 305/35/19 on the rear. IMO, there is nothing better than some proper fatass rears on the back of the Supra, with a stretch, it will make your rears look smaller, plus it tightens up the sidewall, which means less flex, which means that the tires don't work at there optimum level.

marc_p Posted March 1, 2011 Share Posted March 1, 2011 How are you gonna fit that under the arches? Piece of piss, just roll the arches and your fine, these are the same width and offset wheels but these are on a 335 tyre and it fits fine: I wouldn't want your bill for rear tyres Tell me about it, I'm waiting until the month after Texas to order them, looking at about £250-£300 a tire for midrange Falken ones.

Brazil Posted March 1, 2011 Share Posted March 1, 2011 I've got 19'' wheels 315 wide in my rears with rolled arches lowered on Tein SS Coilover.. I've taken 3 passengers in the past and it never rubbed..! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
