Yes, but if you get far enough to want bigger brakes from the Supra or something you'll need different rims.

this is the sloppies build Ive ever seen, overspray and rust everywhere, carpeted the rear, the car is shot & will never be in good condition even if you had the skill to restore it right
Id put everything you have bought to do the swap inside, buy insurance and burn it all
go buy a running 300 or 400 for 3k and be done with it

I wasn't trying to be rude, it's not quality at all very sloppy from the ground up.
I don't think the type of work is going to change from here on out or when done sorry.
Maybe if you are building a racecar or a car to take offroading or muddin OK

to be honest it is a race car, i have no prious experience building a car...the carpet is going to be redone but im focusing on priorities which is the engine...later on i will worry about the interior...which is no big deal to me cuz its not my dd. the rims i just had fun with the spray paint. i didnt bother to worry about the tires since they are bold
