For anyone with experience with Supra Turbo wheels, has anyone put 255 wide tires in the front? Does it rub with the suspension? I know it is both common and conventional to see 245's up front. I was wondering about the 255/45/17 however. Any ideas?
I am wrapping my Supra Turbo wheels with rubber on Tuesday afternoon at the Tire Rack, and this information would help.
Thanks.

255's rub. 245's do not. Good stuff.

must be offset, I run 255/35-18's and they do not rub...
oh, and if anything I would run 255/40-17, not 255/45-17

I know that if i concentrate and read everything I will figure this out but someone said..... 17x 10 with 20 offset will work for the rear as aggressive set and for the fronts the 17x 9 with 30 offset will work and with 15 offset for aggressive set up....on my 93 sc300 is this true? what size tires would be ideal? sorry to regurgitate what I am sure has already been answered.

Rim Size f/r: 19x8.5 and 19x9.5 yes weaksos
Rim Offset f/r: +11 (+26 w/ 15mm spacer) and +13 (+38 w/ 25mm spacer)
Tire Size f/r: 215/35/19 and 225/35/19
Suspension Setup:
Comment On Ride:
Fender Modifications: shaved all four corners
Any other comments: rear rubs on hard corners, and also with passenger. fronts could come out another 5-10 mm.
keep in mind the lower your car is, the more offest it can handle (camber). also keep in mind, offset clearance varies when you change rim diameters.
Picture:
it looks like it sticks out much more in person. i suck at pics.

How would you have a higher offset with a spacer. Spacers reduce offset. So if your original front offset is +11 w/ 15mm it would net a -4 offset. If rears are +13 w/25mm spacer, it would net a -12 offset. Nevertheless, those wheels look great with that fitment.
