the rear wheel is 17X9.5 and currently it's 255/40/17 which is too small for the size. going by the tire size calculator the size came out to the 275/40/17 to match the stock wheel size. tirerack tells me that the only size that would fit is 265/40/17 and will not gurantee the 275/40/17. the choices of tires for 265/40/17 are quite slim.

so my question is would 275/40/17 rub in the back with the supra TT wheel? it looks like there's plenty of clearance in there...but i want to double check if someone has gone through this before.

It will fit..

Not sure if you talked to me on this, but it is bigger then we guarantee. However, I have seen that size on SC befor it should be ok.

I just picked up a set of TT wheels that had 245/45-17's & 275/40-17's on them:

The 275's fit flush without a spacer, don't feel confident in dropping it 1" unless I put 255's on the rear. The 245's definitely could use a spacer to push them out a bit.

275 will not rub in the rears with a 1 inch drop..

onehot is correct.... it will not rub at all..not even close ... the 50mm offset is tucked nicely.
My winter tires are TT wheels w/ 275 40 17 on the rear and they fit perfectly.
I am actually pondering to go a hair larger ...

What would be the next appropriate size up??

yeah my friend has the TT wheels with 275/40/17 in the rear and 235/40/17 in the front and the car is lowered 1 inch and their is no ribbing going on
so they should fit good

bump for my previous question

Follow-up question, occasionally I squeeze a couple of people in the rear seat, any rubbing issues with a full load wih 275's and a 1" drop?

Thanks

Brandon@TR

285/40 17 is the next size up.

Just following up with this thread!

I'd like to go meatier... having 285s. But wider would be better. I've heared even 305s on TT wheels but I can't seem to find any pictures or anyone using wider than 285s.

I hope someone can chime in!
