Nice! Does anyone know what just the silver TT rims look like on a SC? I don't think I would ever get the non chrome or polished rims for my sc. Can someone post pics if they have.

So are 315 tires the factory width on a Supra?
Are the factory supra wheels wider in the back than the front?

Not bad...although I think the chrome would look better on the Supra.

Nope... 9.5" wheels are too narrow to provide an "IDEAL" fitment for 315s. Stock tires are 255 in the back. The main issue is that the tire is not suppored properly with a narrower rim--giving up tirewear, traction and handling due to lack of support. When the lip of the tire/rim area is pinched like this, the tire doesn't put all the tread on the pavement properly, and pulls it up the sidewall.

A good fitment would be a tire that is around .25 - 1.5" wider than the rim.

I like the look of 315s on the back, though.
