Unfortunately I didn't know much about wheel sizes when I purchased the wheels. My importer (who also owned a Soarer) ensured me that going any wider/lower offset would require me to get wider guards, which I didn't want to do. So, trusting his word I went with some relatively safe offsets. I now know I could have gone more aggressive but too little too late!
All these kudos and not one person mentions how the TT needs more aggressive wheels? Maybe I missed it...

Hey fellas, long time reader from Sydney, Australia here.
There are some really great rides on here so I figured I'd formally introduce myself and show you what our rides are like from Down Under
I currently own two Soarers, one being a '96 JZZ30 TT model and the other being a '94 UZZ31 V8. The TT is the subject of most of my modifications, most of which have been cosmetic. Planned future mods include a big single turbo with all supporting ancillaries as well as some decent brakes.
The V8 is used as a daily and was my very first car, purchased in 2004. Only modifications I have done to it has been a late model front bumper upgrade and a respray. I am also an established member on the Soarer Central and ALSC forums.
Anyway enough chatter. Here are a few pictures of my TT:
Cosmetic Modifications:
Also, what are the rules for selling items on this forum? Do I need to have a certain amount of posts before I can post an ad? I have a factory Toyota black leather steering wheel that no one in Australia seems to want. Maybe some of you US fellas would like it.
Anyway tell me what you guys think~!

^^^Good god... why would you quote all of that again?
Lol... I know how that feels! At least you bought some pimping wheels, so you should have no problem finding a buyer for them when it's time to go with something more aggresive... I can't wait to see what you pick!

Small update, upgraded the suspension to Tein Super Street adjustable coilovers. A big single turbo conversion is also being planned now as well so I'll finally have something to show when I take pictures of the engine bay!
I actually contacted my Volk supplier about getting more aggressive offsets for the fronts but they no longer sell the specs I want! My front wheels are Type A which were designed specifically with big brakes in mind, so going with different spec rims I'd risk them not being able to fit over the 4-piston JZA80 brakes I have planned to go along with the big single upgrade. Sucks huh?

Looks great. Did you have to modify the Shifter and lengthen it back or is that where it sits in its stock position. I am just about to do this to my SC300 and swap some of my MKIII Supra stuff accross and wanted to see if this is where it normally sits unmodified
