also, since http://www.xxrwheels.com/xxr_530.shtml do not come with 11.5's is it gonna become a pain to work with these? or even http://www.xxrwheels.com/xxr_521.shtml
Nah it's a 'yota. It'll probably be fine. Just be sure to do a compression test (or leakdown test) to ensure it's in good shape. If the oil has never been changed for 135K miles, the compression test results won't be very good. If it's been well-maintained, the compression test should show good results.

You need to pick wheels that are as wide as you need. Don't invest a penny in skinny rims that are all for show and no consideration for better traction. Your 2nd link comes in an 18x10, but I'm not sure the offset would be right. That diameter & width might work with a 305-width tire, if you can find one sticky enough. Here's one option:

There are lots of options in 295/35:

NB: Please consider posting any help requests in a new thread instead of asking me for help privately. About 99.9+% of the time, private help requests end up covering great information that could be very valuable to other forum members. If you have a good reason for needing the help request to be private, I'll consider it. If not, then why not give everyone else the opportunity to pitch in too, and/or learn from the information? Remember, there's no such thing as a dumb question. We're all here to help within this family of Supra owners.
