Welp.

Are they 17 or 16 inch. Better the question the better the answer.

MKIV NA or MKIV TT?

big difference in rims between the 2 thus a big difference in possible tire sizes.

I'm preety sure you're talking about the Supra Turbo stock rims. If so, then I recomend 17/40/235 and 17/40/255. This is my preference since the SC doesn't have so much power that it needs really wide tires. Infact if you do get bigger tires then you'll loose performance. I used to have 17/40/285 in the rear, and while it looked nice and turns were very smooth, I noticed thinner tires improve performance when you don't have too much power.



PS. I actually have 17/45/235 in the front. I also don't recommend getting my tires. They are way too loud!

I have the same tire sizes as DirectQL on my Supra TT wheels, except my fronts are Dayton Daytona ZR and rears are Yoko AVS ES100, and they sound real quiet.

I have Falken Ziex ZE-502 tires on my supra tt rims.

SIZE - 255/40/17zr

they are pretty quiet, they all 4 are that size (they came with the rims and they were brand new so i have to wait to get staggered sizes).

I have 275/40/17 Nitto Drag on the back right now, they hook up TO good when they are warm.. :eek: They are right when they say that you will lose performance with an underpowered car.

I can feel it dog out cause the tires grip to well, and are too wide.

If you want some more, I can take some..

Hi all,
I was thinking about putting 4 supra TT front rims (17x8) with 245/45/17 tires on all 4 wheels.... Is it a reasonable setup or they only sell actual sets of supra TT wheels??? (2 17x8 and 2 17 x 9.5)

they only come in the staggered setup. (17x8 front, 17x9.5 rear) You still can put all the 245 tires on them. i have all 255's on mine and they fit fine, no rubbing or anything..
