Default Well got my wheels finally

I decided to take the risk on not knowing if the wheels would fit right flush or sink. I decided to go ahead and order those wheels 18x8.5 +35 245/40 18x9.5 +35 275/35. I also got supra tt stock suspension on.
I suck at taking pictures.

They look sharp. Where did they come from? What kind?

I've heard of Ruff before. Are those 3pc forged wheels?

How do you compare the stock suspension to the supra ones? Worth the extra cost?

Hey Moe,

looks good. Do you have any more pics. I was looking at the Ruff racings also, but with a 20 offset front. They say the 20 offset in front will clear the TT calipers. Did you have to do any fender mods for the rear?

Thanks

Nuvat

At first I had issues with the supra suspension, but after a while I guess it settled since there was no weight on the supra springs for a while. Is it worth it yes, you fill up much of the fender gap and still maintain a comfortable ride. I will be changing the shocks out to the Koni yellow, since they have a adjustable perch.

not 3pc, for the price no way could be 3pc


I am not sure why they said you need a 20 offset in the front to clear supra brakes. I will try it out, cause it seems that it should clear just fine with the 35 offset.


I havent touched the rear at all, the only time it would rub the inner plastic is when you're turning hard and over a little dip on the road. 265 tire shouldnt rub or stiffer suspension. I am getting my rear quarter panels rolled.

I will get better pictures for you guys.
