Posted this on the other forum but thought I'd post it here for those that don't go there seeing as I got the most input and help on finding out if they would fit from the people on here, so thanks again for all that helped me, eibachs and kyb gr2's going on, on wednesday and the capilers are getting painted blue so I'll have new pics then, don't mind the front two wheels being backwards I switched them tonight, on to the pics!

:boink: looks hot that last pic is my favorite. keep us updated and throw some pics up when you do your suspension!
Car looks really good. The hood, wheels, lip and trim all match and make the car look really good. Can't wait to see it once it's lowered.

Got them from a wheel shop who sells through ebay, they are made by "ruff racing" and are 18x8.5 up front adn 18x9.5 in the back. They came with 225/40 in the front and 255/35 in the back but I upgraded to 245/40 up front and 275/35 in the back for an extra 150 so it came out to 1450 plus 30 dollars for insurance, I'd say the seller's ebay name but it may be against the rules?
TONY!

Nope, I don't believe it would be here in SM...if that is what you are talking about.
Over at SF, because it is owned my companies, you not supposed to mention competitors.

Very nice wheels and Supra. I like the last pic also... hides the wheel gap more and the front end looks awesome with your CF Hood/Covers/Lip. :)
How much do those wheels weigh?

if it's not too much trouble, could i ask you to try fitting the back wheels on front and seeing if they rub? i'd like to get the same size all the way around

I can give it a try when I lower it wednesday but from what I have seen and heard theres no way 275's will fit up front. Also the guys ebay name is "rimdealer"

dr jonez would prob beg to differ ;)
275 will fit up front, its just dependant on what width and offset you are using. it will rub slightly at full lock tho.
btw, rims look nice :)

Did he have to roll the fenders or anything? The 275's he wants me to test up from at 18x9.5 wheels with +35mm offset, I just don't see them fitting.
There's no reason to test them they won't fit. A 9.5 is not going to fit in the front.

are all four of your wheels a +35mm offset? Did you have to use any spacers or anything?

Okay, here's my .02 worth on the subject. Dr Jonez does indeed have 275's up front on one of his cars, however they are 17's, and they're on Konig Villains, with, I believe a 30mm offset. And I think I remember him stating that there were some rubbing issues. Those Ruff's look amazing on that white Sup, especially with all the cf and black trim. :thumbup:

Thanks guys, I got the front lowered tonight but we didn't have time to hit up the rear, I'll have pics tomorrow and then later in the week pics of the full drop...I almost destroyed that cfx lip pulling out of my friends driveway it sounded so horrible I thought for sure I had demolished it but it only got scraped on the underside and a little peice on the underside broke off but you cant see it unless you are me underneath the car wrenching on it.

Very nice dude. I got a white 86.5 and was thinking it'd need a 89+ kit to look nice but you've shown me the way. Just a few quick questions about the lowering. I've got kyb gr2's as well and wanted 2 lower mine but i've read that it reduces their life, u heard anything about that? Hows the ride now with it lowered? how much did u lower it?
