I am looking into r888 285/35/19 for my supra with the stock wheels. Do they fit the stock rims?

there aren't exact size of R888R for Supra. you may have to up the size or down the size a bit. however, what is your goal to achieve by replacing tires? track driving? street driving? all weather? drag? the term "Best" is relative and vague if you don't have goal.

for example, R888R might be the best trackday tire to drive to track and back but it's terrible as drag tire and makes a lot of whining noise. you may find other tire such as pirrelli P zero for street tires as best but would be terrible on all weather and drag.

I have R888R 285/35/19s and 268/35/19s on the stocker wheels. I'm very happy with them, they're actually decent as a drag tire, and I've never noticed any noise, but I don't really care about that.

I don't know if 285/35/19 fits up front. Otherwise, second what nibble said. Depends on how you really use the car and what you're shooting for.

I need something that can stick to a 600whp car. A lot of fast guys use 285s for some reason.
