Default tires sizes on Supra TT wheels... any recommendation?
I currently have a set of is300 17x7 wheels... I am running 225/50/17 all around... does anyone know a comfortable wheel size for those running TT wheels?

front wheels are 17x8

rear wheels are 17x9.5

i have ran a 255/35 on the rear and it works great. i have ran a 225 and a 235 on the front and its fine too.

i have ran a 225/35 on the rear too...not so nice. too much of a stretch and it rode like a subway car.

factory supras had 255's on the rear but some guys here have up to 285's. I dont think going over that is a good idea.

245 front 275 rear. I have 20mm spacers upfront and 10mm in the back without rolling fenders and no rub. Also dropped 1 3/4" approximate. Think it is a pretty good tire size combo for TT rims.

I have 255 on the front and 275 in the rear on a spare set of Chrome TTs in my garage. The rears max out at 305. Pretty good for a track setup. It will just look way too crowned.
