Default wheel fitment questions?

Hey guys,

I am throwing around the idea of either getting some is300 wheels or TT wheels.

I know that the is300 wheels should fit without a problem, but how about the TT wheels. Will I have any fitment issues on a stock suspension (and if anyone has pics of this setup that would be awesome!)

Thanks again!

mileage is going to vary greatly with what kind of tires are mounted on the rear as well as what kind of driving is done. There is no way anyone is going to be able to answer this without knowing what kind of tires are on the wheels.

255/40 rears and 235/45 fronts I have seen roughly a 1/2 to 1 mpg decrease.

My car is still stock height with them, I will get some pics tomorrow.

Go with the tt wheels for better fitment. The IS300 wheels are very narrow and have really high offsets. They fit fine, but look kinda -meh-. The supras are a tad sunken, but are still a pretty good all around wheel.

You can, but only side to side, unless you have a unidirection pattern, then you cant.

Don't get IS300 wheels. While the design itself looks good, they will not fit well without large spacers. The TT wheels will fit way better, you can fit wider tires, and like UZZ30 said, you can only rotate side to side. If you have directional tires, you have to dismount and swap the tires over to rotate. At stock ride height you shouldn't have any more tire wear on Supra TT or IS300 wheels as you do right now with stock SC wheels.
