Hell yeah! Pledged for a black staggered set of 18's. Gonna be a long summer of waiting but at least it's finally happening.

How is the fitment in front with an 18x10 on stock suspension vs. a slight drop on say .8 inches with the euro Z4 eibach springs ?
I'm assuming 275 front and 305 rears with an 11 in in the back ?
Thanks in advance!

That's what I'm planning on running, although I may have to drop to 265 or run a small spacer in the front depending on tire.

They've got some info in posts here, but also some on their site (although most of that is covered in the previous posts).

Yep, -I was surprised as well on this one. I expected them to be launched later on.

Beyond the 2 articles linked above, we also have our general fitment guide here: https://support.apexraceparts.com/hc/en-us/articles/1260802325669-GR-Supra-Wheel-Tire-Fitment-Guide

Most of the 18" staggered options should easily accommodate a mild lowering spring.

Pledged for the Staggered satin black VS5-RS.

Planning on running 265/40 front and 295/35 rear.

Can't wait to see these on a photo car.

I think Ian may have mentioned this to you on Instagram, but be sure to do your homework on that front tire fitment. Not all 265/40-18s will clear the front perch with those wheels.

Looks like 275/35 + 305/35 setup would be nearly perfect... since the tires get ~0.8" wider than the stock sizes, but the wheels are ~1" wider... so should have a very slight bit more roll at the contact patch. Still probably might want a small ( 5mm) spacer on the front depending on which brand rubber is used, I'd guess.

Unfortunately that setup will almost assuredly require mixed models (and possibly brands) in order to achieve. For example, while PS4S comes in a 275/35-18, the widest 18" they carry for the rears would be a 295/30-18 which would definitely not be optimal.

Yokohama Advan A052's seem to be lacking for fronts... but do have a 295/35-18 (their only 275 comes in a 40 aspect).

Nitto NT01's or Toyo R888R's would work (provided you are fine with a 100TW tire) both seem available in a 275/35 & 305/35 combo.

I'll probably go with the Continental ECS just for wearability (340TW) for mine, since it's a daily and I'm primarily interested in 18's to split the difference between comfort and grip anyway. I haven't found any issues holding any corner I hit with a 265/285 PS4S setup on the stock wheels.

I don't imagine it would be much (if any) worse with a 275/295 setup with a bit more sidewall, but slightly less sticky tires. Of course, I won't really know until it's too late... but that's life.

Read the fitment guide, I’ll be running the extreme contact sports.

hopefully it’ll clear, or I’ll run a 3mm or 5mm spacer.

Damn, these look epic on your supra! Mind if I add this to the 11" square fitment thread and our Photo library? Happy to credit your social media or forum accounts when we share the photos!

Any rubbing under suspension compression?

Thanks and happy to help others know what fits so add away. Ig joe_liska

That's what the inside looks like. Haven't noticed any rubbing on compression. As others have mentioned it does contact the fender liners at full lock. So parking lots can be fun.

Love those wheels!!! I want to do that same color with Apex's 18x10 square setup mentioned on their fitment guide. Will be so nice to slap on another set of wheels with slicks for track weekends!
