rear fender needs a roll and maybe an inch lower (two FTW, but 1 will be acceptable) all around for good stance. Right now that's just mexican.

Still, great choice of wheels, and sweet car. Just needs those finishing touches.

i vote for no camber and epic flare + low

agreed... supra guards have a lot of give, flare em out. go against the grain, you don't see many supras with flared guards.

This is why I called mexican...

I'd consider these good fitment, either high and flush, or slammed n tucked:

camber is win.. high an flush is fail. its like stock fitment.

fenced... i still consider flush with proper fitting wheels and unstretched tyres with minimal gap between the fender good fitment. you gotta choose the wheels with the right offset to sit flush, plus you gotta be running some stiff suspension to ensure the tyres don't shred themselves on the guard over every bump... possibly takes more balls to run around on than stretched tyres under a flared guard. guard clearance has to be between a bees dick and pinky fingerable to qualify though.

agreed... on the low.... but using camber to fit wheels is ghey imho... i like to be able to get traction when needed...

i can only just get a pinky in mine, and i still get all the rubber to the road

Hey guys, thanks for positive/neg feedback. Its rare to see a supra with aggresivness. I actually think mines the only one around the world with the crazy fitment with stock body.

That red car is running TRD widebody rear. Id love that, but too much $$. I took my car to a place to flare the guards, but they said on a supra its a really big job. They have to actually cut out the whole guards, and get a new guards and work on that..or something along those lines. Bottom line is it would cost alot and require a respray.

Also I can lower it more, but the front lip scrapes everywhere as it is, plus my alignment/height is setup for track work with smaller (gay offset) wheels, so I need to compromise that.

Here is my old SA-90 & RE30

I have no idea wht is involved with flaring. Id love to get them flared slightly (not dodgy like some drift cars I seen). but have no idea who does it. I dont want to spend $$ on a respray either, and as far as i know, you need to respray once you start flaring?

Probably not the only one in the world with the wrong width or offset wheels for a stock body. If you're gonna run a stock body, then choose appropriate wheels (the black one I posted is similar height/body mods, see how his wheels suit the look?). Having em sticking out of a stock body without aggressive ride height and flare (or camber n tuckkage for alex :D) just looks like you just grabbed some wheels that came up for sale without putting any thought on how they'd sit under the guards.

Cut guards to flare them? what? you're not pulling em right out. metal has a bit of give, and a sheet of metal around a supra guard is large enough to massage out some flare without need to cut and weld bits in. Respray may be necessary if you wanna pull the metal out heaps, but a light roll won't need a respray if done right (heat up the entire panel, then massage it out slowly or even use a wood slapper n shot bag).

I don't mean to offend, just giving you an opinion that you may not always hear other than "omg that's a hot car" (which it is, but we're just critiquing its stance here).

funkymonkey, thats cool, tahnks for the tips. Trust me I get more flammage in the Supra world with my "Stance". I actually love the look of it, and specifially ordered them in those size/offset. It was no mistake.

Another pic someone posted today from a meet on the weekend.

    • The fancy pants red shock tower brace is finally incoming from MX5 Mania, getting it shipped from 'Merica has been a long and problematic process, and GWR, the 'Merican supplier will not ship directly to consumers outside of the US, Mania basically had to order a heap of them, the colour choice was silver, or red, and we all know anything red adds 5 killerwasps of dynotorques..... Whilst it does fit over a 2.5, and I've seen a few photos and videos of it being installed and fitting, google also says it might get real close to the FAB9 intake front runner, people in the US says it does fit with the FAB9 intake, except for one person who said it slightly touched.......so there is that.....LOL..... As it seems that I am the first in AU to have this combination of parts there's no local knowledge about fitment, so I'm just a willing guinea pig in this endeavour, I'll cross my fingers and toes and hope for the best In other news, I ordered stuff from China  on the same day I ordered the 23° silicone bend from Victoria, the stuff from China arrived a day ago, the 23° silicone bend is still travelling around Australia thanks to Australia Post, and "may" be here next week
    • Very good news...I contacted Racebox about it last night. My car is a 2016 so remains to be seen if it is compatible, requires a TCU swap, or is impossible.
    • What ECU are you running? This is probably the biggest question. If it's a PowerFC, I'd probably change the ECU and get something newer that will handle the injectors in a nicer way.
