quick question on mk3

[Mk3 Driver]

how wide of tires can i put on a complete stock 1988 supra mk3 7m-gte?

[bgrieger]

The question should be: How wide a tire can you put on stock rims? Some 245's will fit on the stock rims and have manufacturer recommended rim widths of 7 inches at the narrow end. Almost all 225's will, as well as 215's as 7 inches is almost always in their manufacturer's recommended rim width.

Now, if you meant on something other than stock rims, let us know and we can revisit the question...

hey dude I got your myspace message. I figured it'd be easier on here to reply...

Run rims do you have? If you get some MKIV tt rims (pricey) you can run up to...

but I dont believe you can slap on some 285's on your stock MK3 rims... Any tire shop can tell you what the max tire size you can run.

those look good! I likey. well it depends. the rims is 16x?? The Supra aparently can handle up to 285 without rubbing in the back. Just need to know if those can mount on those rims.

[Mk3 Driver]

will what rims you got?

[willtotheumm]

like bgrieger said.. what rims do you have now? Are they the sawblades like these?

[willtotheumm]

(^^^my Supra) stock sawblades. Can't afford any others right now haha

[Mk3 Driver]

yeah i just got stock sawblade rims. what width tires can stock sawblades handle?

[willtotheumm]

Ummm... I'm running. I need to think (my Supra isnt available for inspection at the moment lol), I think i've got 255's on it right now but i'm not completely sure on that.

[Mk3 Driver]

lol i like fat back tires alot what do you think the max the rims can handle for width about 255mm what thickness should i get on stock tires if i get some 255's

[willtotheumm]

Hmmm... I couldnt tell you off the top of my head. I havent changed the tires on my Supra since I got it. Then again its been sitting for 2 years haha. Luckily to be resurected within 12 months.

[Mk3 Driver]

nice nice i got 1 more question how do i turn up the boost psi on my supra? i never really figured that out i usally work on n/a cars never turned up boost before

[willtotheumm]

all I know is thats not good on a stock 7m Supra. Jeeves and Bgrieger will have to answer that one. 7m's are notorious for blowing headgaskets. Increasing the boost (unless you're talking about after the re-build), its just gonna result in a BHG.
