Didn't read the whole post but I'm looking at 18x8.5+25 fronts and 18x10+25 rears, stock suspension and fenders. How will these fit?

should be no problems, but look funny at stock ride height.
I run 18x10 +25 all round. Had to roll fronts, rears didn't need a roll with 265 but I rolled it to fit 285s.

Here's what the fitment looks like:

im not sure if anyone else has seen this supra before or if it is already in this thread but i want to know where i can get these wheels or if somebody already has them. they look very similar to mk2 wheels but stock mk2 wheels are 14" and those do not look like 14" wheels.

whats the widest tyres u can put on stock 16'' sawblades? i believe theyre 7.75'' wide. i saw this number camed up in garage where i changed my tyres when he measured the width of the wheels. right now im running 235/60 at the back for better traction at the start but was wondering whats the widest i can go. still have no prob with clearance.

245-50-16 is a much better fit than 235-60.

the stock tire diameter is 24.9. that 235-60 is 27.1. way too tall in my opinion.

yeah but did it for 3 reasons - dunno why my speedo showed +10km/h now its only 5 :)
a bit better mileage on highway
and i can lower the tire pressure for better grip on drag race, i really need it since im using auto trans and want to spool up some psi.
but yeah deffo will go for ur suggested tyres gsxr141.

ok, so im picking up a set of 5zigen fn01r-c from a friend, and have some questions. they are 17x9 +35 fronts, 17x10 +25 rears. I test fit them with 275/40/17s on them all around. I really like how they fit and looked in the front, but definitely need to roll the fenders and maybe pull them a little bit. the rears stick out just a bit, but I think I can roll and pull them enough for it to fit. but I was wanting to run something wider, or taller, so it fill out the wheel well a little better. whats the widest tire I can run in the rear with this set up? without horrible rubbing issues.

heres some pics from when I test fit them

ive been looking at the xxr 521 trying to determine what size tire and the correct offset i should go with for front and rear and im lowered with h&r springs.
front would be 18x8.5 with 25mm or 35mm offset
rear wold be 18x10 with 12mm or 25mm offset
what would be the best offset and what would yall reccomend for tire size for front and rear.

I am running xxr 521's 18x10" +25 front and back. 255 tire front and 285 tire rear. When i first installed the wheels i had 245s up front and needed to roll the guard and I had 265 rears which did not need a roll.
Now with 285s I had to roll the rears.

If you get the 8.5 for the fronts you will have no issues, but it doesnt look anywhere near as tough IMO

Personally I opt for steer ability as opposed to aesthetic "tough" looks in the front. Mine are 235 on front and I can feel the road grooves already. Don't think I would go wider myself.

I'm running 265/35/18 front and 285/35/18 rear. Front is 18x9 rear is 18x10 +40 all around. No rubbing issues, doesn't look horribly sunk in, and it's a good amount of traction. Frons are a little more sunk in than I would like, but I didn't need to roll, pull or even remove my fender liners.

This spec should have photos. It's the one I'm looking for.

Pics?
