Default Widest tires on stock SC?
What's the widest tires you can put in the rear of an SC with:
1. rolled fenders
2. factory fenders

I noticed most Supra guys run a higher offset and a wider wheel where as most SC guys have low offsets with thinner wheels. Is the Supra fenders just bigger allowing this or is it a personal choice? Members who have wide tires please chime in.

i have 275/40/17s with +27 offset in the rear (i'm assuming this is what your talking about) on stock fenders, but i have coilovers as well to help compensate and stop rubbing, though it still happens occasionally

Mine's 275/30/20s with +38mm offset on the rear, but the previous owner cut and *I think* rolled the fenders.
