Lol...it was Shine that believed the Regulus Kaze combo. I had my doubts. Lol. Now that has been put to rest. I was rooting for the Kaminari sides....which Shine is considering for a group buy possibility.



Dylan, i know what you are saying. Wide rear with oem front is what i also like. It is Porsche-esque.

The carbon fiber S2 fenders are indeed sweet looking. My set has been shot with automotive clear and looks even better than without clear.

Can't wait too see yours rodel!

You have rules to make people do car modification properly? What a concept! :rofl:

If you going 315's I'd say you would probly want around a +20 for 12's
I plan on running 315's all around, with the following offsets:

Front
17x10.5 +25

Rear
17x12 +15

Going off some mental calculations, it should put things right about to the edge of the fender while allowing the wheels and tires to work properly without tearing up my fenders. I've had wheels that scraped fenders before, it's annoying when every good dip you take, you sound like you're screeching to a halt...

I don't have a build thread, at least not yet. I figure it's going to be a while before things really get underway anyway, I'd rather get a head start then fill you guys in later. ;)

As for tires, they're really not that bad if you know where to shop:

emission were you able to snap some pics? I'd love to see them since SAP doesn't have any on their old site and their new site doesn't seem to have Supra items up yet. Thx.

Amar's car has 11.5" front wheels and 13" rear wheels with 315s. Car has the Shineautoproject replica S2 front widebody and Kaze rear widebody....these parts were widened to fit the wheels.

I know you crazy Californians can get away with that style and all, but how the hell does having a rear tire that close not tear the fenders a new one? Does your suspension not move? Car looks good man...

As the wheel travels up it also cambers in giving more clearance. Thats why a lot of "hella flush" cars don't have rubbing issues.

You received your S2 front and Kaze rear already? Didn't you just place your order 2 days ago? LOL.

At the least, you'll need wheels along the lines of 10" - 10.5" front and 11" to 11.5" rear, depending on the offsets. By no means are these wheels cheap.
