Okay guys im new to i-supra and i see you guys have a lot info to give to people when they are in need of it.
Basically i have a 1993 MKiV Supra and i just bought 18 inch rims that are 10 inches wide in the back. They look great and all, i have only one problem...THEY STICK OUT!!!! Im stumped..i dont know what to do...some idiots tried rolling out the inside and messed it up and it didnt make a difference...it just bangs into my quarter panels...i have seen a lot of supras with 10 inch wide tires in the back but they fit perfectly fine into the quarter panels. You guys think it could possibly be alignment? or because of the fact that the first owner put 7 inch wide tires and lowered the car with an eibach lowering kit? (Car has stock raised suspension right now) Please Help!! i desperately need it!! Its hard to believe but i have actually stopped driving my supra and im driving my dads old pickup!! (its an ford f series...do you guys really want me to drive that crap around in place of a supra?  ) |

your off set probably isnt right for the car. what is the offset? are you using any spacers? you can fit an 11.5 rim if you roll the fenders.

Hey man thanks for the info! i think it is on spacers i have no idea but ima find out tomorrow...ima lift the car take the wheel off and check it out cuz this is ridiculous.
The wheels came off another supra and it was tucked in nice and when it went on mine it was sticking out and the guy said "it okay my furend you doo aliynment it looking good very nice yes yes" so i figured he knew what he was talking about...but ill check it out and if it happens to be on spacers ill post up some before and after pics!!  |

Lol who the f runs 7" wide rims in the rear? Take the wheel of and see what the offset is. You need an offset of 40-50 to run 285's.

Forgot about this thread. Nah man, pass on the wheels. Those offsets are HORRIBLE. It'll stick out like a mofo and hit the fenders like crazy. It may not hit when cruising, but on turns and bumps, it'll hit and your tires will eventually have a rip on the sides.
You want a +40 on the front and rear or close to it. - _ - _ - _ - _ - _ - _ - _ - _ - _ - _ - _ - _ - _ - _ - _ - _ - _ - _ - _ - _ - _ - _ - _ - _ - _ - _ - _ - _ - _ 2000 GS400 |

Eclipses and 240's use very low offset.
