How much time did you spend here; ****Official Wheel & Tire Fitment Guide for SC300/SC400**** or should the rest of us read it and report back to you?

Its called a "sticky" and that means the moderators feel it has so much content it gets a prominent position at the top of the appropriate threads so that people do not start new threads on old topics and ask questions that have been answered before.

^ Agreed. I went with 245/40/17 in the front and 275/40/17 in the back with mine

FWIW: the stock sizes for an MK4 NA supra are 225/50/16 front and 245/50/16 rear.

Look at his post count. Look at your post count.

Ask the same questions.. over and over and over again.

Definitely looking good! What size tires did you end up going with?

For future reference this is a wheel and tire comparator program I found from searching google real quick.

http://www.wheelsmaster.com/rt_specs.jsp

I really like this program. You can compare two wheel setups side by side.
You can change wheel diameter/width/offset. And put any size tire on those wheels.

It gives a good visualization of what you're looking for. It won't let you get carried away with tire stretching though.

Check it out!
