Robzki Posted January 25, 2012 Share Posted January 25, 2012 17's look and feel great here, I think 19's would last 5 minutes around here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

safcdixon Posted January 25, 2012 Share Posted January 25, 2012 I have 19s on mine and you can feel every bump, but if your not arsed about comfort then looks wise 19s are the way too go Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Samurai 20V Posted January 25, 2012 Share Posted January 25, 2012 So far I have had no issue with 19's.. The ride is not great but I suppose Japans roads are decent... For the look they defintely make the car stand out, Supra arches are huge.. I reckon for ultimate handling they not the best, but how fast can you go on a public road? On the track I would change to the stock 17's, for drags on would use DR's so I reckon for everyday 19's are the way to go... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thorin Posted January 25, 2012 Share Posted January 25, 2012 18's max. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robzki Posted January 25, 2012 Share Posted January 25, 2012 When people say '19's for everyday use' do they really mean as in an only car, daily driver. I've never tried 19's but imagine the rubberband tyre wouldn't have enough flex to absorb anything. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dnk Posted January 25, 2012 Share Posted January 25, 2012 Stock suspension and 17's for everyday use. If its only a toy like mine then 19's are the way to go, still works pretty well on track too Having the suspension geometry set up properly is a must though whatever you using Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sdistc Posted January 25, 2012 Share Posted January 25, 2012 Had 18s, then 19s, daily driven. 19s will cost a LOT more in tyres, and I still think won't provide as much straight-line traction. Depending on the style, they look equally nice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dnk Posted January 25, 2012 Share Posted January 25, 2012 I have no problems with traction on my car in the dry, its a bit stiff for the wet but i can live with that and drive accordingly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've never tried 19's but imagine the rubberband tyre wouldn't have enough flex to absorb anything. You right, not as a daily car.. As a daily car the max would be 18inch.. As a toy, on the streets the 19's are fine.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sdistc Posted January 25, 2012 Share Posted January 25, 2012 I have no problems with traction on my car in the dry, its a bit stiff for the wet but i can live with that and drive accordingly I wasn't very impressed with the soft (treadwear rating 140) Yokohama Advans on mine - would still spin to 4th in the dry. However, Jamie's doesn't have that bad traction with a bit more horsepower so I'm wondering if my suspension setup isn't at least partly to blame.

I think your asking too much from any set up other than say drag tyres on a very good surface if you have 700 whp + Agreed though that getting the geo spot on will help but unless its a fair bit out i dont see it helping much Mines a lowly 400 ish so other than in the wet mine just grips and goes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SupraStar 3000 Posted January 27, 2012 Share Posted January 27, 2012 if i could afford 19" i would get some but then again, i dont drive my Supra very hard as i know i have skill level of a blind granny after using crack cocaine for the first time.

Blackie Posted January 27, 2012 Share Posted January 27, 2012 (edited) Ive got 19"s, Dont notice a massive difference with handling but tyres are a massive pain to get hold of. They are not off the shelf items sadly but then again, i dont drive my Supra very hard as i know i have skill level of a blind granny after using crack cocaine for the first time.

d-_-b Posted January 27, 2012 Share Posted January 27, 2012 but then again, i dont drive my Supra very hard as i know i have skill level of a blind granny after using Lmao if i could afford 19" i would get some Can buy my old 19's if you want ed - thought you were refurbish yours to a new funky colour?? : D Personally 19's for me, the supra is a big car and big wheels suit it. (imo) 'summary' level I guess I'd say 19's for looks, 18's for compromise between looks & handling. - have seen some nice supe's where 18s look stunning - but they were lowered a fair bit.
