What's the potential weight savings with the Supra TT space saver spare tire? Anyone?

Hey Anh, how are you?? A good place to buy used stock SupraTT wheels is on www.supraforums.com or www.thepartstrader.com Tiny

Great point, should have been mentioned earlier...... The AP 6 piston is even larger/higher(better) than the SupraTT brakes.
I was shocked at how minimal the SupraTT stock wheel clearance was over my SupaTT calipers..(maybe 2 mm's)
My SSR Integrals(18x8"+35 standard disc) had about 5mm clearance and my Zaubers(19x8.5"+43 high disc) have about the same........ Guess thats why theyre the engineers...........

I found a supra turbo spare wheel of a 92 supra, will that work, I think by RMM brake are from the 4th gen supra, ie 1995 and up?
does any body know if a 92 supra wheel will fit my car? thanks

So guys please help me understand this correctly, I have 20 X8.5 Maya Wheels up front with a +36 offset, will I be able to use my stock 17" wheel?

Al,

The issue with the Supra spares being discussed here is to make sure there is adequate clearance to fit over upgraded front brakes which are much bigger than stock brakes.

I'lll let some of the experts reply, but I think you'll be fine with the stock wheel for a short period of time. Your list of mods doesn't include upgraded brakes that would require high disk fittment, so you should be ok.

umm..... tell me, why your stock 16 won't fit? you don't have brakes upgrade, and i don't see any other reason why the 16 won't fit? if you have brakes upgrade, the stock 17" are garbage. i have ap racing, and the supra tt spare. it will fit, as well as supra tt brakes. not sure about brembo and endless though

Rominl: Most (not all) GS's that came with OEM 17" wheels also have a 17" spare. I suspect his car came with 17's

ah that i don' tknow then, coz 'he said he has a 16 spare now. i know 17" is an option for gs4. but either case if there is a big brakes upgrade (ap, supra, brembo, endless), the stock wheels will go

Where did he say that? (sorry, we probably should just let Al respond instead of guessing for him )

oh crap, i was looking at al2jzge's post and you are looking at alwilliams', haha... so to al, yes you shoudl be fine, as long as you don't have big brakes

Hey guys I guess I didnt explain it well. I am having the RMM big brakes installed this weekend and wondering if my stock 17" spare will fit in the front. I currently have the 20x8.5 w/+36offset in the front so I know I am good, but I am concerned about my spare. Should I go out and buy a supra TT spare? Or perhaps an aftermarket wheel with a +36 offset? I tell you it never ends with spending money to get our cars just right!!

nop, stock 17" won't fit at all, not even close. you need the supra tt spare, just like me and davegs4 and also, just in case, +36 in the front doesn't really mean the brakes are going to fit. it usually has to be hig disk application in order to have a good chance. just a heads up

Yes Al you should. The least expensive solution to this problem is to find the least expensive wheel that will clear the caliper and put the cheapest tire on it. The best solution will be to buy 5 instead of 4 wheels and tires and use a full size spare, working it into the rotation. If the OD is the same (and it should be) and the well is deep enough there will be no problem with fitting it in the trunk. Even if it pushes the carpet up a bit I still think its the best solution. Weight some of you ask? Pfft, this is SPRUNG weight the effect on handling will be unnoticeable, for a second I thought I hit the wrong button and was in the Miata forum. Real good topic though, it doesn't come up as much as it should.
