The Toyota Supra is a discontinued vehicle that still commands a significant amount of respect on the used market, owing primarily to its relatively high performance. Having the right wheels on your Supra will permit you to take full advantage of its horsepower.

Front Wheels

    The front wheels on Supra models before 1995 are 16 inches x 8 inches. After 1995, the front wheels were increased in diameter to 17 inches x 8 inches, providing increased performance through a larger contact area between the tires and the road.

Rear Wheels

    The rear wheels on models before 1995 are 16 x 9 inches. After 1995, the rear wheels were increased in diameter to 17 x 9.5 inches. The rear wheels are wider because the car is rear-wheel drive.

Japanese models

    Japanese import models continued production until July of 2002. Although the stock performance (horsepower and torque) of Japanese models is slightly higher, the vehicles still use the same wheel size as American models, so you should have no trouble exchanging tires between the two models.
