12" wide wheel fitment?
Let me start off by saying I already looked at the Wheel Fitment thread but did not want to scroll through 100+ post to try and find an answer. With that being said let me get to it. I want to run 12 inch wide wheels in the rear and know I will need fender work and according to the thread, I know I will need adjustable suspension components because they will not clear stock.
I am assuming I will need toe control arms but my main question is will I need adjustable rear camber arms to make the wheels fit?
If so, are there any other arms other than Ikeya? I cannot afford to buy $900+ arms, there must be another set out there somewhere! Thanks for any info/leads.

That's not going to work..... to run a proper sized tire on a 12" wheel, you will need a high offset. A 12" wheel with a +20 offset will mean you need a widebody to fit a good tire. On a stock body, you can make it work with a roll and a good pull, some camber and a big stretch on the tire which obviously defeats the purpose of traction that you are looking for.

I thought the general consensus to improve traction was more of a tire height change / softer compound / proper alignment versus a wider tire. If your at the point where you are considering 12" wide wheels you may need to consider mickey thompsons / et street radials and a taller 50 or so series tire.
I would expect a full roll if not cut and slight pull would be needed.

And in reference to the supra forums I don't want a drag radial as I am trying to get into circuit racing and want to have good handling and traction not just be able to hook and go in straight line
