Lose the tt suspension and get some coilovers, tein's are pretty cheap and lower it little more, you'll love the look and feel of it driving. Wheels do look good, kinda like gram lights, 35 offset is not bad, when you get bored of the wheels, try 24 offset on your next wheels.
Car looks good.

Nice looking wheels.
The setup puts you a half an inch taller than the stock tires, with the TT suspension you are right back to stock height again.

I talked to a wheel shop and they told me I need the 20mm front to clear the supra brakes. But in the rear they say I would be better off going with 35mm. Is this true and can I order 20 front and 35 rear offsets?

Thanks for all the help

I don't see any reason why you couldn't order them with different offsets. I would think that they would be correct about the 20 vs. 35mm front rim due to the larger calapers on the BBK.

Bestwheel wont sell anything but +35mm offset in those wheels, or thats what I was told. There was another company who was able to sell different offsets. My tire sizes are all screwed up, so stay away from 275 and 245 on those wheels, or it will be a rubbing nightmare. I even bought a set of Koni yellow shocks to drop the height a little bit and boo. Another thing I noticed is the clear coat on the lip sucks. For the price you cant beat the deal, specially that I noticed the prices on them will be going up if it havent already.

I ordered the 35mm with 235/40 and 265/35 tires. Do you think it will rub at all? I only have it dropped about 1/2".

You should be fine, if it does rub, roll the fenders.
