Would 17x9 +22 all round work?

Was wondering if this would fit on my SC300.

18x8.5 with a +32 offset
18x9.5 with a +39 offset

I have supra calipers in the front so I wonder if they will clear or not also.

Thanks!

19' Axis Supermesh (19x8.5)Front & (19x9.5)Rear 245/35/19 in front & 275/30/19 in rear. Offset is 40 all around.

What can I do to stretch it like this:

CL Member Name: Eggman
Rim Brand and Type: Super Star Leonhardiritt Waffe
Rim Size f/r: 19x8.5 and 19x9.5 yes weaksos
Rim Offset f/r: +11 (+26 w/ 15mm spacer) and +13 (+38 w/ 25mm spacer)
Tire Size f/r: 215/35/19 and 225/35/19
Suspension Setup:
Comment On Ride:
Fender Modifications: shaved all four corners
Any other comments: rear rubs on hard corners, and also with passenger. fronts could come out another 5-10 mm.
keep in mind the lower your car is, the more offest it can handle (camber). also keep in mind, offset clearance varies when you change rim diameters.

Should I get 25mm adapters for the rears and fronts or 25mm on the rears and 30mm for the front.

I also need to get stretched tires just like eggman's, correct?

Is 30mm adapter for the front wheels safe? That is like 1.25 inch.

Why not just get wheels with a better offset. With that big of a spacer you might need longer studs. Also if you want that stretch look then why not run the same size tires as him?

It wont stick out pass the fender, it will almost be even with it. You should roll your fenders anyway if its no problem, because it might rub on dips. Tires depending on the look you want but I would say 235/40(front), and 265/35(rear).

Thanks for the reply But another question, if the offset was +20 all around what tire sizes would you recommend?

I'm going to get adapters not spacers. Just confirming if I should get 25mm all around and same tires as eggman's to achieve the look similar to his.

Brake caliper fitment is wheel specific. Offset and dimension alone tell none of the story. I would email the wheel manufacturer. Supra Turbo calipers are famous for being big, and they will be able to tell you if the wheels clear them.

Based on dimension and offet, the wheels will fit the body of the car conservatively. The rears will be a tad sunk. If your intention is to not roll the fenders to achieve maximum fitment, run modest tire widths (255/265 in the rear & 235/225 up front) and you should have a decent set up.
