18"s will they work? - Toyota Nation Forum : Toyota Car and Truck Forums

Hey if I put some 18" x 7.5" wheels on my supra, will the tires ever rub say during a little bounce or when the wheel is cut all the way? what size tires does everybody suggest?

91 mk3 turbo auto

These ones here:

Oh! and...if anyone knows where I can get a set of 17"s or 18"s for a better deal (maybe with tires on them

) let me know I am super interested seeing as how I have been driving around on the donut for waaay too long now.

they will fit, my buddy has 19" volks with 275 rear tires on them... just make sure they are the correct offset

Offset is HELLA important. Besides that, I have yet to see a set of 18's that actually look good on a Mk3. 17"s are ideal.

so you dont like my rims?

I have RJR 18" chrome on mine, the offset is the same as most fords here so getting rims of high quality wasnt that hard. I could have gone as far as 20" rims with an ultra low profile tire, but 18" is as large as i wanted to get since i'll be eventually racing my mkIII.

Heres a picture of my mkIII with 18" RJR's and 40 series faulkens...mine are 9" wide

Too much chrome. Personally, you'll never find anything more hot than a Mk3 rolling Volk TE-37's.
/looks for pics..

guess it comes to personal taste huh? mine are from a local racing parts maker...so not just bling, they can handle anything i throw at them and i have connections to get them at a steal price.

I do agree though that Volks (i like ALOT of the styles from them) look very good on a MkIII...i cant remember what specific model they are, but a friend and fellow mkIII owner has some second hand volks he go imported to here. They set his car off really well, too bad one of em hit a gutter

I couldn't find the Mk3 on Volk TE37's, but here's a Mk4:
