Brazil Posted March 6, 2015 Author Share Posted March 6, 2015 Before: 235-35/19 265-30/19 I bet with 315-35-19 grip comparison wouldn't be that much different than the 18's though I am sure the steering and handling would be better with 18's.

Luxluc Posted March 6, 2015 Share Posted March 6, 2015 I had a chat with JamieP before ordering. On his (old) black Supra, he had a massive improvement in traction and handling when he went from 19 to 18. I know that 19 is for the looks (that's the reason why I went for 19 a couple of years ago). But with the power figures most of us run on single setups, 18" is the best.

mattdavies Posted March 6, 2015 Share Posted March 6, 2015 Steve.M runs a 17" Rear wheel if I am correct and a 18" front Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luxluc Posted March 6, 2015 Share Posted March 6, 2015 Steve.M runs a 17" Rear wheel if I am correct and a 18" front You are right Matt. This is OK if you stick with the stock brakes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brazil Posted March 6, 2015 Author Share Posted March 6, 2015 You are right Matt. This is OK if you stick with the stock brakes. Could you not have gone with a sidewall of 35 instead of 30 on the rear tyres? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luxluc Posted March 6, 2015 Share Posted March 6, 2015 Could you not have gone with a sidewall of 35 instead of 30 on the rear tyres? I had that in mind mate, but the 315 are not available in series 35. However, you have more sidewall on a series 30 (on 315 vs 265) as the tires are a lot wider than normal.

I am liking the looks of the Classic 4 now...! http://www.ccwheel.com/wheels-display.php?view=Classic4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luxluc Posted March 6, 2015 Share Posted March 6, 2015 (edited) I always used the Michelin Pilot Sports Cup tires, as I needed grip with the different power evolutions my Supra went through. With the latest power figures, I needed wider rims. I went for the CCW classics. Unfortunately, Michelin don't go wider than 295 in 18" ; therefore, I went for Toyo R888 now. I must says they perform very well ; when properly warmed up, they hook up even in 2nd (even though I have 950+ nm).

Brazil Posted March 6, 2015 Author Share Posted March 6, 2015 Here a pic of mine on my car for the photoshop. http://i912.photobucket.com/albums/ac323/Luxluc/20140824_165511_zps06c6b845.jpg That looks superb...! I bet it looks even better when on the move with it being so shiny.! The classic 4 are slightly different I think because the spokes are thinner it gives an impression that they are bigger than they look compared to the classic's... I don't know just trying to get a set of wheels that best suit my car..! I will also be chaning out my skirts to Blitz and want to make my spoiler not as wide..!

Brazil Posted March 7, 2015 Author Share Posted March 7, 2015 I am so indecisive my thoughts are as follows not in order of preference. 19'' - Work Meister SSR S1 3P - black center polished lips 19'' - CCW SP16 Hybrid with step outer barrel fully polished- At the rear using Good Year F1 Tyres 325 - 30 (these have good reputation on supraforums popular with the corvette community) Mate Black Center's option 18'' - CCW Classic 4 - 315 30 - Toyo R888 18'' CCW Classic - 315 - 30 - Toyo R888 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
