I like the look of 20's as well, but I would be afraid of the ride quality with that slim of a tire. I just bought 19's for my Supra the other day. My question to you guys is what tire size should I go with front and back? My fronts rims are 8.5 inch wide, & my rears are going to be 9.5 inch wide. What size tires do you guys recommend? I was either thinking 275/30/19 or 285/30/19 in the rear, & 235/35/19 in the front? I am also selling what I have seen in the picture below, PM me if your interested or if you want more information about them! I will also put an ad in the classified section for the wheels I am selling.


Oh & I don't want to roll the fenders, if that makes a difference. I am also installing TIEN coilovers as well,
Thanks guys!

sorry about the blurriness of the first picture

What is your rwhp? This should be your starting point to determine your rear rim width. Since you say your rears are going to be factory-spec 9.5 inch, I hope you're planning to limit your hp to factory specs too (320hp).

The current wheels I have on my Supra are 18's & they are 8.5 in the front, & 10 inch in the rear & I run 275 in the rear. HP came in at 350 last time it was on the dyno
Thought Im looking into having the rears widened cause I like them so much but they didnt come in a larger size, like a 10 or a 10.5 like i wanted.

I used the tire calculator on discount tire site to help me determine the size tires I wanted. I wanted to say close to the factory spec diameter. I will also tell you the speedo change with the tire tire compared to what's spec. This will help you with picking a tire size that's close to spec. Hope this helps.
