I dont know what hypothetical you doing in this link man. Are you referencing my rear fitment and then working off that to figure out what you could fit with 25mm over fenders? If so then yes that will fit. If not, and you are using the 11.5 +63 for the front paired with the 12" rear, then no that 11.5 +63 wont fit up front because the inner spacing is way too aggressive.

This is what my wheel/tire spec looks like and is the max fitment possible under stock/rolled fenders, W/slight pull up front.

Not really any good ones that show off the fattiness I'll work on it though. Part of the problem is my rear diffuser blocks the light under the car so its hard to make out the full width of the tires with the perspective of the whole rear end like in that supra pic posted in the op, unless the lighting and angle is just right, like driving down the road. I have a pick of my S and a buddy's next to it from the rear showing his 255's and mine which is a pretty good comparo shot of that. I'm also just learning how to use photo bucket from cell phone pics to computer so will see.

I have you sort of covoered. Not the best pics of his setup but they are ok. We need to get some good lighting so we can get a picture of the tires. Between the diffuser and the shadow of being under the car its not easy to get a good picture. Junky let me know if you don't want these posted.

If you size up to 18's, you'll have much better tire choices, and you'll also give yourself better clearance for back spacing.

Urge has CCWs that work well for meaty tires and are fully functional for track use - not just show and stance.

Also, for what you'd spend on a regular cast wheel and the cost of widening it, you can get cheaper forged wheels for just a little bit more (no Volks - still too pricey).

BTW, nice shot of junky's car. I always expected it to be silverstone.

I'm still preying that kumho will come out with the 295/35/17 when their new kumho xs replacement comes out.

The problem with 18's and going with a 295/30/18 tire there really is not much of a selection of tires in the extreme performance tire class. The only good street tire is the advan ad08r and those are $400 each. All the other tires is this size is either a race tire or a max performance street tire.
