Now those wheels are hot...infact i was thinking about getting a set of those for my supra....back when i had it before my soarer
I would say though considering 235's fit normal on 8's, i would say 235's would be a nice fat fit for the 7.5's and 245's kina pushing it but i think you would still be able to pull it off.
Personally, i love KONIG whells altogether, regardless of the style cause they are of superb quality, despite the fact that i have never seen one KONIG Forged wheel.
Classy yet looks racing style
I would go for it man. if you got the cash to fork out a G for 2 wheels, plus another G for another 2 then plus tyres.....hell yeah...im with ya and thats all that matters hahah

Sorry my bad, two in the morning i cant read properly lol...$1000 for the SET...hell yeah man...dirt cheap make sure though they haven't got any defects on them at all, and i mean AT ALL not even a scratch....KONIG wheels dont have scratches on them...they are pure class

Don't know about quality but you're only gonna want a MAX 225 width tyre on those skinny suckers

I've got 7.5" wide rims and I've got 245's on there no worries.
You need 225/45-18, 235/40-18, or 245/40-18 to be close to the standard 225/55-16 or 215/65-15 tyres, and if http://www.chris-longhurst.com/carbibles/tyre_bible.html can be trusted, only the 225s should go on 7.5 inch wheels.
16x8/16x9 or 17x8.5/17x9.5 on mine. Need at least 255s to fill those rear arches

Tobias,
Why would you want to do that? The visual difference will be minimal and hard to pick.
If the rims are all the same width I would put the same tyres on them. Much easier when it comes time to replace- you can get a better deal on a 'set' of four than two plus two. Also your tyres will last longer as you will be able to rotate front to rear etc.
Take it from me with two different sized rims it can be a bit of a hassle.
On a more technical note if all four wheels/tyres are the same size then the car will have the balance (braking/handling) that Toyota intended. Probably a very small difference here admittedly though.

I would have to agree with Ben there, if you're going to go different width tyres, make sure they're relatively different, not so that there is 10mm difference which can be hardly noticed....and will be useless when it comes to rotation as well
If you're thinking of going stagger fitment, i would say at least 255's on the back and max 235's on the front provided you can find the right width rims... Now in saying that i have seen people with 225's and even as low as 215's on the front with 7.5's up front and a whopping 275's on a set of 9.5's or 10's on the back....Now that's stagger fitment for ya

I have 18 x 8.5 (245/40) front and 18 x 9.5 (275/35) rears. Nice look but a pain in the arse when you wear the inside of the rears and outside of the fronts but can't rotate them.

that's my bad, I've actually got 235's all round, that's what the rims came with and that's what every tyre join I've visited have recommended to me, I just had 245 on the brain from a previous discussion!

Personally man i reckon you would be better off with 235's than 225...i mean sure they're little more expensive but the $40 extra you spend will be well worth the looks and most importantly handling and performance
