Besides all the hate I still come to you guys for suggestions on a possible setup since you prob know what can be done and what can't. I have 4 18x9.5 Cr Kais that if I do not sell I plan on keeping and running a meaty setup on.

18x9.5 +12 all around with a decent fender pull -2ish camber in front -3.5 rear

Whats the biggest tire sizes I could run?

Going to test fit w/ CCW a set of wheels in the upcoming weeks...pretty excited. 18x11 295/30 and 18x10 (not sure of the tire size...)

I'll post pics of the test fit...they won't be the face of the wheel on puropse Hopefully I can do this in the two weeks!

my friend just put a 315 on his stock supra rims on his turbo sc300

i dunno how they fit but the tires are super poked off the rims

the believe stock supra rims are 17x9.5

so you can go really big

Depends on sidewall height, but I'd max out a 9.5" width wheel with a 285.

I've run a 275/50/15 MT drag radial on an 8" width wheel.....keep in mind the sidewall has a ton of flex and is tall. Makes it easier. The MT DR's are WAY wider than a 275 street tire.....probably closer to a 295.

For example.....in this pic you can see under load how fat the tire is on the smallish wheel. Can't even really see the inside of the wheel....

Not if you want to turn. I know scotts300 runs a 285 front, but with a net offset of like +28. Plus you have to remember that no one in this thread or running a tire that size is anywhere near as low.

Would a 265/35 18x9.5 +12 all around qualify for this thread?

That is a ridiculous amount of rear camber - way more than necessary for autox. I'd go for a higher offset wheel for more tire width.

315 is WAY too big for the stock Supra rear wheel. A 9.5" wheel - for the street - should have a 295 tire MAX assuming that the offsets are correct.

It'd be very close. It would depend on how much static camber you run and how low the car sits.

and trying 295s next week!

Not really, but post 'em up anyway. A 275 rear tire is sort of the "norm" so I think we strive for something at least 285 if not 295 or larger.

--->is part of the "norm", but I'd bet the drag radials had a larger contact patch than just about any tire in this thread at 13ish psi .

here is an example: Looks like the tire wants to fall off the wheel.
