they'd fit, but why not go with 18x9.5" all the way around?

i was basically wondering what it looked like since two of my friends with newer supras did it...seeing if it would look badass...now 17's or 18's, i had 17's on my probe and 18's on my GTP so...can't complain about tires...18's too heavy for a modded car or 17's look better with some fatter tires...

Definately go with 18x10.5 on all 4

I wouldn't even consider 17's
