White targa · 12-30-2005, 11:44 PM

I have new school stocks 17x8 front 17x9 in back on the 88.Falken 502(front) and 512(rear) and 235/45/17f 255/40/17r they launch well and handle great decent in the rain little bit o road noise but is tolerable

I'm running stock rims and eagle GS-C 245/50's all around(they were on the car)

They handle great untill you driving through alot of fresh snow then you play slip and slide(but it still gets me to the top of Mnt. Mansfield Vt. every day no matter the weather.)

I have 18x9.5 rear with Dunlops, and 18x8.5 front with Michelins.. haven't even looked at the treadwear, I'm not caring about that for now, the car is N/A auto.

I'm running 94 Supra wheels (16x8) with 225/50 Cooper up front, and 94 TT wheels (17x9.5) with 265/40 Falkens in the rear, good traction.

i think cooper cobra is a good tire for supra. i were using (2) 215 60r14 front (2) 235 60r14 rear on my mk2... so its good launch for me... and beside that its wide too....

Question about rears...

Is 265/35/18 too big of a tire for an 18x9 rim? Will that stick out alot on the back wheels?

I'm planning those with 25 or 35/35/18 for my front 18x8's.

So basically, is 265 too wide for rears?

Does anyone know how much the stock wheels weigh each?
