I'm on Supra TT wheels with 255's in the rear and I don't like it. I should have gone with 265's in the rear at least

yes to your question, but i would recommend 275 45 17 in the back would look alot more aggressive just my 2 cents

not only do they look more aggresive but they also perform better. i run 275/40/17's avon tech m550's in the rear and love them. not too much tire to where the rear wheels steer to the road but enough to always have pretty good traction. the slicks are a different story.... like vj said you can fit 315's out back...

I had 275/40's on mine. They looked real beefy, and fit just fine. I got lots of compliments.


I wore them out so now im puting some 255/40's, that I have laying around.

I am DEFINETELY putting 275/40/17...I just hope to not rub at all, maybe I'll be safe and go with 265. on next time I have to change tires, you guys have convinced me that 275 is the ideal size for that beefy looks on a 9inch wide rim.

Supra TT wheels are the same offset as stock SC wheels so they will fit no problem, and my guess from this thread is that you are gonna want to run 275 back there.
