i love my OEM supra TTs.. 9.5in wide rears and fit any aftermarket brakes, and still keep that OEM look. The cops are murder here in fl and rape anything that looks like a street racer

you know, honestly, calm down with the offset bashing everyone. NOT everyone wants to run stretched tires, no matter how minor.

I for one love lower offsets, but don't preach here on these forums by saying these are how it's "supposed" to look, or how its supposed to be done. Everyone has their own taste. Some like stretched tires, some like running tires that "fit" just right. Let it be....

In ummagawd's defense, he's on AIR, so when he dumps the car, the rim pushes inwards. You have to see it in person.

So please, Relax on the comments people. This goes for everyone.... mod the car so you're happy.

I love lower offsets, and i think plenty of cars can pull off with more conservative offsets and have the car still PIMP status. Manaray, One Hot, Tbone, etc etc. This offset thing is getting out of hand...

I love rims with big lips tho, maybe in the future ill get a set of 18s with big a$$ polished lips, but those right now would cost as much as a single turbo manifold, wastegate, and probably a nice BOV...

Very true, most people want to get lower offset wheels but they just cant afford it or cant really find right offset and wait on them is a *****.
Forget 5 or 6 spokes, 3 spokes RULE.

Trust me this guy has the most Flush car I've seen and its about an inch from the ground also.
Thats the only way to go! I rocked 18X8.5 and 18X9.5 both with a 17mm offset. Man I miss that setup. Had to roll my fenders, have stretched tires and crazy neg camber just for them to fit, but thats the only way to go IMO for wheel fitment. Good job on that s14!
