If you want to be daily driven and reliable these are your best bets
17"
GS400 wheels
Supra Staggered wheels
18"
Staggered wheels (pref 5spoke like MODA R6)
For more looks less utility
19 or 20"
You can guess what size I have, but my car collect dust in the driveway during the week.

tossup between 18s and 19s... 19s look more pimp while 18s give a much better ride and have a far better wheel and tire selection

I agree, if you're more performance-oriented stay with the 18's.

for looks, 18s are just right IMO
for performance, unless you're going to fill that 18" or bigger wheel with brakes, is pointless. there are plenty of 17" tire selections and many 17" wheels can fit the supra brakes as well.
Either way, it's a tossup!
but i went with the 17s

Yes, Face 1 18x9 front, Face 1 18x10 rear, Advan AVS Sport 245-40ZR18 front, 285-35ZR18 rear. By the way, caliper clearance is massive (one of the reasons I went with these)....I can literally fit a finger between my TT calipers and the wheel spokes.

Not much clearance here. 18*8.5f - 18*9.5r (275's rub on dips and turns) I think the suspension is a little tired out maybe. Supra wheels stay on for now though.

I wouldn't think that 18's would have a problem rubbing. Anyone else have a problem with 18's rubbing? Or is that just an isolated case of the rubs with 18's.
