Default Wheel FITMENT HELP

This is going to be a hard one.

Looking to purchase a set of CCW LM5, the specs are -

Fr 18x10
Rr 18x12

As most of you know, CCW does NOT disclose their offset information.

Will this and if not, how hard will it be, for me to fit this on to my 2000 LS400?


Thanks for any help I can get from you guys.

Are they used? If so have the owner figure out the specs for you. All he needs is a tape measure, a carpenters Level (3 foot) and a few minutes of his time. Then just convert over the back spacing to offset in MM. This is assuming the tires are allready removed or that they are stretched so he can get an accurate measurement.

Most of the CCW's I see for sale are for BBK and usually run mid teens - mid twenties in offsets. But those are also mainly on 9.5/10.5 widths. A 12" with a low offset will be a challenge to fit. You would more than likely pulling alot in the rear and then having a body shop complete the rest of the look for you.

lol CCWs are wheels, use google and have the seller figure out the offsets. Also, you didnt give us any information on what fender mods you have/are willing to do or your suspension setup.

we have a nice big wheel fitment thread, with those widths and the likelihood that the offsets are pretty aggressive (and the hope they clear BBK) i'd say you'll need to throw the book at your car, everything. roll+big pull, massive camber, stretch, and drop it to the floor.

How about these?

What will I have to do?

I can deal with shave and slight roll, but nothing major....

You gotta pay to play. Those will fit OK I guess. It depends on tire sizing and camber. But a +15 to +22 would be a good place to start in a 9/10 setup.

Figure out what u want before doing any fender mods! Example 19x9-23F, 19x10-0R on 225/35, 235/35 will need about an inch pull/flare if u slam it to tuck tire

I am not really being picky about how my wheels needs to be hella flush or anything, but I do like to get it a close as possible without any serious modification. I don't mind having to shave or roll the inner lip, but nothing really beyond that.

So, all I am doing now is looking for a set of wheels that I like and trying to get as close as possible.

18x9 18x10 +20ish is a good start without major modification. I would suggest looking in the wheel setup thread and getting an idea of what others are running.

Figuring out the offset isnt too hard. Check this link. Its stupid to me how ccw / vip modular "dont release offsets".
I'm not down to play this secret offfset game
