wheels nd fitment

itsjustsway · 02-20-2011, 05:13 AM

I've read prior threads asking if a 15 inch rim will fit on a mk3 supra. I understand some do some dont. I am trying to run 15x7 with a -11 offset, will this work? I'm trying 2 poke the rim slightly but also use meaty tires. I'm trying to also drop the car flush. Close to slammed. Will this work with the set up? And what size tire will be best if the wheel will fit?

You really just need to try them on the car... that size is too close for anyone to just say yes or no. I've known a couple people who've had no problem, a couple who could get their rims on the rear but not the front and one guy who thought he was good until he trashed his front calipers after putting on new brake pads... didn't account for the 3mm of missing pad material when he initially put the wheels on.

Unless they're something you may return or something you may test fit first, I would advise against it.

I don't know much about the fitment for the supra but the 15"s I run on my 00 celica for the winter just clear the calipers and I know the supra has bigger brakes that the celica.

Didn't the Celica base model come with 15" wheels though? As I said, on the MKIII it's hit and miss... I'd guess that more models won't fit and than there are 15's that will.
