Default 17x10 on a 1st Gen?

Is this doable? I was thinkin 17x8 front and 17x10 rear RPF1's which offset would be best. I really dont wanna stretch tires to much...Im goin more for performance then looks but I don't want sunk in wheel wells neither.

My old wheels were 19x8.5/9.5 +38 f/r with a 235 tire in front and a 275 in rear and I didnt have to roll my frenders at all. The fronts were just about "flush" with no stretched tire...but again I wasnt rolled so I could have got another 1/2" outwards no problem if I were to roll them and keep non-stretched tires. The rears could have probably took a 10" +30 with no stretched tire and roll the fenders.

OEM Supra TT wheels are 17x8/9.5 +50 off set and they sink in quite a bit. You're going to want something wider then an 8 in the front unless you want to go with a really low offset

Heres 19x8.5 F/ 9.5R +38 F/R no rolled fenders no rubbing issues. Camber within OE spec. IMO, rears could have been 10" with a 30 offest



and 17x8F/ 9.5R +50 F/R Kind of hard to tell from these pictures but theyre the only ones I have. The sink in alot. Camber within OE spec.



and 19x9.5 +18 with -1.5 degrees camber and a 215 tire on front and a 19x10.5 +18 with -3 degrees camber and a 235 rear tire. Settings have been adjusted since the picture

Cool man so you think maybe 17x9 30 offset front 17x10 30 offset rear would work with some meaty tires? Thanks for the knowledge !

if you went with a 9" in the front with meaty tires, might wanna go more with a 40-ish offest

Check out rimtuck.com. more info on there as well

something close to those measurements should be good. Do you have stocks on it right now or something else? Are you planning on rolling the fenders (should do)? I dont know what the backspacing would be with a 9" +40 since I never measure my backspace with the 19x8.5/9.5 wheels.

just imagine the wheel looking at it from the front/back view (not looking at the face) and do the math. 25.4mm = an inch. So knowing that, start with the specs of the current wheels and say... if I add 1" to the width of the wheel, it will make it stick out 1/2" more on the inside and outside lip and if I lowered the offset by 13mm, it will make it stick out 1/2" inch more, but since offset is just positioning of the face, it will bring it out 1/2 inch more on the outside lip and take away 1//2" from the inside lip, there for now having the new measurements with equal backspacing (clearance between inner wheel and coilover/arms, inside clearance) as the current wheels but stick out 1" total with the 1" wider wheel with 13mm more negative offset.

If you didnt quite get what I was saying, just search around and you can find images that explain it. Take some measuring tape, go out the the car and measure away and see what sizes will fit in the wheel well.

also have to consider it they're low, medium, or high disk for brake caliper clearance

Thanks man! I def appreciate the time you took to explain it all. I have read about all of this before for other cars but something about this never seems to click in my head The wheels that are on there now are 19x9.5 I have no clue what offset. I do know the car feels way sluggish in the low rpms way too sluggish for a 2JZGTE to be feeling. I have had cars before with big rims and then gone to a smaller lightweight rim and its night and day. I love the look of the baller *** big rims but I like to go faster more then look good lol
