Hi everyone,
Im looking for a new set of wheels to replace my factory 17" rims on my jza80 and was wondering what rims all the members have on their cars and who has pics up of them?
Ive heard that keeping within a certain offset can avoid some ugly handling traits, is this an old wives tale?
What off set are you all running and how wide are your rims front and rear?
I would love to get a staggered fitment to fill out the rear guards a bit more(my car came with 4x8" wide rims rather than 8"s on the front and 9.5"s on the back)
Any info appreciated :)
Cheers
Mr Ree

I've run stock 16's, TT 17's, 18x10 rear BBS, 19x9.5 rear and currently on 20x10 with a 30 offset. Stil have fun in my Sup on big wheels however to squeeze them in i needed my rear arches rolling and run 285/25/20 tyres. The 19's were most comfortable and felt good on track days.
Hope this helps.

Wow I have never seen 20's under a supra. I ideally want 17s to keep the weight down although would be willing to go 18" if the right wheel didnt come in a 17" option.

If you PM me your email address i'll send you some pic's of my Sup sat on 20's. I'm well pleased with the look of it especially as having such wide rears gives the car an agressive stance from behind!

I found some rims that I like made by TSW called Jarama. The balck centre and big lip looks good and they are staggered 18x8+18x9.5 so thats nearly all the boxes ticked:)
The only thing im concerned with is the offset. They have a few options ranging from 45 to 35. I want my wheels to fill out the gaurds alot more but dont want to have to roll the gaurds to fit these.
Does anyone have these size rims on your car? How do they fit?
Thanks :)
