be the right or perfect offset for it. your help would be greatly
appreciated. thanks

The set up for larger brakes has less to do with the offset and more to do with the disk set up. You'd need to do a high desk set up on your new wheels. Also the size of the rim and the shape are important as well. Once those are all taken in to account, then the offset can be set to make sure the wheel fits in the wheel well.

Vegassc400 is exactly right. Offset isn't going to determine if your brakes clear or not. DISK SETUP is what's going to make the difference along with the design of the wheel's spokes. For big brake setups, I would HIGHLY recommend you look into some custom disk/offset wheels or into a company that makes wheels that normally fit a Supra (Do-Luck, Rays, etc.)
