I just got a set of used MKIV. 16 x 8 in the front and 16 x 9 in the rear. The fronts came with 225/50 which needs to be replaced. I think I'll stick with 225/50 just need to decide on the tire. The rears came with 245/45 and are still o.k. They're on Yokohama es100 I believe. In the future I want to go with 255/50s in the rear.

I've got Konig 18"x 8" rims with Vanderbuilt Sonor rubber, 225/45R18 in the front and for now 245/45R18 in the back. Nice rims with a combo of black surround with polished look 5-spoke. The tires were pretty inexpensive, but have a sweet tread pattern and good quality rubber. Got a matching set of black splined lug nuts too. Test fit on the car to make sure they're good (which they are), but they actually haven't seen the road yet, still brand new. I've got some engine problems to take care of first lol. If anyone's interested, I may be willing to sell them.. could take me some time before the engine is settled, and they deserve to be on a vehicle.

fitment question. I've decited to go for a oem/mesh look. i'm thinking some GTA mesh wheels off of a 80's trans am. would it be possible? similar to crown vic meshes. I really want this wheel any tips will be appreciated asap because I found a set for dirt cheap and would make my day if they fit.

http://www.tacreationsusa.com/firebi....htm#GTAWheels - this site has alot of into about the GTA wheel.

GTA wheel specs:

Size : 16" x 8"
Backspacing Front : 4.75"
Backspacing Rear : 5.25"
Bolt pattern : 4.75"
Material : Aluminum
Finish : Painted Centers/Cleared Lips



WILL THESE FIT?

hey guys i am new here. two questions i guess:
1. i could get the 5 spoke (91-92 supra?) wheels and be able to run 265/40R16s in the back w/o any issues from what i gather, right?

2. if i got 17x10" rims on the back with 275/35or40R17s with a +35mm offset, they would only stick out approx 1/4", is that right?

thanks

Default Tires

Depends on the weight you pack in to your back seats. I got some tires that were about 2-3" taller than the low profile 225 z50R 16 and they are doing fine.
