I dont know if anyone else found this site but I have been looking for decently priced MKIV wheels and this looks like the best place to me. 1996 Toyota Supra Wheels / Rims & Lights - Found Products
I like that it allows you to get the offset you want that it came with.

I was just wondering if the 17X9.5 in the back and the 17X8 in the front would work out for an 88 without having any fender rubbage.

I run 235/45 17's front and back. Lowered to the max with TEIN flex set to very stiff. This is 9.25 inches wide. No problem with fender rub do to width. Bottom out inside top on wheel well sometimes in front on track under very heavy breaking in turns. Can't go any wider in front but could probably go 10 inches wide on back, and plan to go with an 18 inch by 10 inch wide on next set in the back.

hey all. i just bought a set of kuhmo ecsta AST's for 63 dollars at discount tire. they originally wanted like 97 and i brought in a page from super street that said they were 63 at the discount tire warehouse so they gave me them. i was surprised. ha. but they are stock size and im also running stock rims.


just thought i would share my info if you want some cheap tires. but you have to put them on yourself. haha. but thats what my high school autos class is for!

Fitment
 
Ok, I really wanna upgrade from my stock 16's, but have a complete brand new paint job, so am imperitive on having correct offset. I also want them quite wide, anybody have suggestions, stick with 17's?, 18's? And what offset I need to buy?

-Scratch that, i'm going with 17's, what's a good offset and how wide can I go on the back? Looking at wheels I can only find like +38 to +40

I got 17's but I just bought them from my tire and wheel dealer. I didn't know to be concerned about offset. What is offset and how do I find out what it is on my wheels? Tell me that and maybe I can help.
Otherwise maybe just consult a tire and wheel shop that can tell you.

wheels
 
you have to take into consideratiion the offset of the rims you have on your tires to not just how wide the rims are

Offset is the measure of distance the mating surface of the hub is from the center of the wheel's width (distance between outside (face) of wheel and the inside edge of the wheel). Offset is typically measured in mm, and a + offset means the hub is closer to the face of the wheel, and a - offset means the hub is closer to the inside of the wheel. Most aftermarket wheels you buy will need to have about a +35 to +40 offset (I believe that is for 8" wide wheels- Wider wheels should have a lower offset).
