Default picked up some Supra N/A wheels

I was in need of some tires and while searching I found some Mk4 N/A supra wheels with yokohama AVS tires and lug nuts for $200. the tires looked like they were never used.

Old pic:


new pic:


comparison from 9" rear to the old 7.5" rear.


my wheel gap grew by .5" because of the smaller series tire, but the car itself lowered by .5"


BTW i didnt put on the center caps because they were the ugly 98 caps.


I also ran a cheap mrgasket spacer in the front because it rubbed with that arm behind the wheel
