Default Do supra twin turbo wheels fit is300?

Saw a couple different responses while searching and was looking for a definitive yes or no? Thanks!

Yes and no. The front steering knuckles need the little nub to be ground off for them to fit, and then the wheels better be perfectly round or they will rub.

Rears fit no issue.

I run 235/45-17 on the front, 275/40-17 rear, rears required the fenders to be trimmed.

I saw that you could use a spacer in front to avoid the steering knuckle issue, would that work?

You can, I am just not a fan of spacers. even a 3mm spacer (I have a pair I tried) set the wheel out too far and made it no longer hubcentric. Since the lug nuts are shank style, they really should be hub centric-ly mounted.

^what he said, also the front wheels need to sticky weighted on the inside, no hammer weights on the inside lip because they'll catch on the knuckle. i run supra turbo wheels on my winter setup haha
