Tire and Wheel fitment Q&A - Page 2

It depends on what your doing with the car. I currently have 235/45 on 17" rims.
Rubber is Exocet. (got a deal on wheels and tires) They are OK for daily driving all wheather stuff.
I have the Goodyear Eagle F1's on my Subaru and they seem nice but I'll take them off for the winter. (I live in the mountains with snow and ice) They would probably be a good summer daily driver tire on the Supra too.

For the Supra, after having it on track at Willow Springs, I will go to 245/40/17 front and 245/40/18 on rear and run Toyo RA1. These are almost a race tire but DOT.

I was thinking about getting 18" Flik Wasp rims with Falken Ziex Ze 512 tires 225/40/18. does anyone know if these are decent rims or not. i know the tires are good just wondering about the rims?

I don't know about the wheels but depending on what you do to the car consider the following;

I run 235/45/17 on all four. My car is lowered with TEIN flex and even running max stiff damper with semi-stiff pre-load I still bottom out in the front wheel wells under heavy breaking/cornering.

My conclusion (so far and may not be correct) is to run 245/40/17 front (lower profile, a little wider, but not 18") more rubber on the road but lower profile to help eliminate wheel well rub.
I will go 245/40/18 in back as there is more room in rear wells and I hope to get a little more needed grip back there. May even go up to a 255 width in back.
If you don't lower your car, don't race or drive hard maybe 18" in front will be fine.

well i lowered my car with intrax and tokico hp shocks i am not racing on the track just occasional street race with cocky pricks. so i think i should be fine. my friend has 18's on his 88 rx-7 and i have seen 19's on the mkiii before so it should be fine.

I got a set of Yokohama AVS ES100's from tirerack.com about $92 a tire. Fronts are 225/50ZR 16.. Rears are 245/50ZR 16. I'm gonna go up to lightweight 17's soon when I get the money.

Even though most people think they must choose a hybrid vehicle to be truly eco friendly, consider some of the other options contained in this article. Depending on your driving style and budget, you might find you can make an equal contribution to the environment simply by choosing a more economical or more emissions-friendly vehicle.
