The Toyo R888s arrived today. Four of 235/45/17 for $1400 delivered. Got them from StGeorge tyres via ebay, and they were on my door 3 working days later.
I had intended to put them on the (front) supra rims I have, and buy some 275/40/17 R888s from the local distributer when they arrive in Australia in December for the rears.
It now looks like the Kei Office front coilovers may be more trouble than they are worth in the long run, and I may have to fork out $800 to buy HSD HR for the front. I can't keep spending money hand over fist, so I am now thinking of fitting the Toyos to the 17x7.5 wheels that were on the car. At least that way I can get the car onto a track and buy larger tyres for the Supra rims later next year.
This really is harder than I hoped. I'm sure it will all be worth it once I hit the track.
By the way- Thanks to Andrew for his input. It would have broke my heart to get all the way to Wakefield to not pass scrutineering due to that door trim.
