MkIII wheels fit MKII?

[thaduke2003]

Hey guys- looking into buying my first Supra as a present to my boy's girlfriend- long story, but part of the deal is, I can use it as a plaything after I finish fixing it up. I'll post the plans for flaming, ridicule, and perhaps even advice in another section- anywho....
I was wondering, what size are the MK-III Supra wheels, and would they fit the MK-II I will be buying her? Looking for a sleeper-look on the supra, or at least as much as possible, and 14's aren't quite my style- thanks, Mark W.

mk3 wheels are 5x114 bolt pattern with a much higher offset. like 30mm or soemthing similar and there also 16x7 wheels i believe.

mk2 wheels are 114.3x4 bolt pattern with an 8mm offset from factory. If upgrading to a bigger wheel they require the offset to be 0-15mm front and rear. Lower offset for rear would be a better match. good luck :)

So the answer is NO mk3 wheels wont fit at all, without adapters of course but mk3 wheels look fugly enough:)

Mark,going to have to go aftermarket if you want GOOD tires.Read thru all the stuff in this section......you'll find lots of different options,more than a couple of years ago even.You'll also see..........that you got lucky................don't need your flame suit for asking a question that has been answered sooooooooooooooooooooo many times...................

Alot depends on P-type or L-type "flares or no flares" and what you are really looking for in a tire.

A really good guy here on the forum has 15x7 wheels with pretty new tires for sale now.

I'll give you a hint on wheels and tires.
4 x 114.3 bolt pattern wheels in a low (14x7 +8 stock) offset are pretty much not made anymore without special order or custom manufacture.

Tires availability in 14", specifically 225/60/14 (H rating or better), are hard to find in many areas, forcing many to move up to 15/16/17" rims. This is a win/win upgrade, as the larger diameter gets you available 'cheap but good' tires and room for a brake upgrade.
