What FT-86 wheel size do you want to see on production version?

I still say the car comes with 17 x 7s, 215/45/17

Or maybe a by-product of West End Customs?
Some neon lights would be perfect! Oh, and full chrome rims please. And a 30 inch sub-woofer too!!!

Whether any of us like it or not, he's right. Deal with it.

17x8 all around id say are ideal for this kind of car. From a tuning and marketing perspective. However knowing the trend with business tycoons they probably release the production model with 18s to bring in more outside target audience to buy the car.

I think mostly everyone agrees that anything over a 225 diameter tire isn't a size for a light weight low hp car.

Anything below 17s would probably unrealistic from the industries point of view.

Anyway im just speculating. I just hope the production model comes with some dish.

Since we are all into assumption territory, let's consider this...

Toyota aims at producing a lightweight, cheap sports car. 17's or 18's doesn't help to lower cost or weight...
Toyota said through its spokeperson that they want to make it "best in world for drifting". 17's or 18's doesn't help a 2 litre N/A engine car to be good in sideways action...

As for the stock wheel size, if it will be 16", the poshers could easily swap them for 18's. The other way around...???

It's not nuclear physics to see what is the optimal way, not for us in here, not for Toyota also.
Now, what will actually happen, only Toyota knows...

We only speculate.

Only the corolla and yaris come wheels smaller than 17" today, and any smaller, you aren't getting the decent rotors and 4 piston calipers to fit under those.

Furthermore, 85% of the general car buying public will LFAO at a sports coupe with anything less than 17" wheels, 14.9999% will not care and only .0001% will cry "why didn't the put smaller wheels on it". You can argue all you want about why it "should" be smaller, but I guess most on here can counter and better as to why it shouldn't.

You are funny I'll give you that.

1st The FT might not weigh more than the Corolla
2nd About the percentages you refering...you know there is a poll right on top of this page, don't you?

Regardless of that, 17's are blowing everything else away on this forum.

Not to mention that a forum with like what, 400 (less than 100 active) members for a car not yet in production is certainly going to dictate/predict the trend of the market at large.

in my business stats class we learned that a small sample like this can infact predict the population at large...obviously not to the exact number but the the general range...just saying

[OldSkoolToys]

Thats only plausible if the sample size is correctly matched to the population at large, and you use the correct statistical procedure.

I'd say this forum is a mere spec of the actual sample size needed to give an accurate estimation of what wheel size people think the car should come with.

[YourFearlessLeader]

Its actually only plausible if the sample is chosen randomly. Since the sample is over 30 it could actually be pretty accurate. Since we are putting in our .02cents instead of just random people being asked, this poll is NOT significant.

but its interesting to look at anyway!

You will all look like such knobs if it comes out with 17" wheels, lol
