purplewitch24 I can tell you, certainly on the Supra, getting wheels to fit over them is an absolute nightmare ... all the ones I like won't fit. Found some I don't mind but I still don't have full wheel lock.. so when you see me doing a 27 point turn, it's not because I'm a girl, it's because I want to have tyres left at the end lol
have that with the MR2, on full right hand side lock the rubber rubs the inner arch.

totally worn out and broken, shouting 'Holy ****, WHAT A RIDE!'"

I also have a TIP so that you guys don't spill so much brake fluid when changing the caliper:
Put light pressure on the brake pedal, and lock it there. (not all you got, but so much that the wheels don't turn freely). I usually use some wood block against the seat.
When you do this, there will come almost no fluid out the brakehose at all!
Nice writeup! I have had the FIGS adapters for a while now, but never bought the Supra calipers.... (have the disks though...)

no you have to use Supra discs.
and yes you can put the 5 spoke 17's back on, BUT you need 15mm spacers to get them on.
