Default Too aggressive for a UCF20?

https://www.clublexus.com/forums/whe...s-vouched.html

i should be able to make those fit with a little camber and a small roll, no?
Would 21s work on a 2LS though or is that too big?

The size is ok but the offset is to aggressive. If you want to go to that level to fit them, it is possible. Seeing them at parking lot slammed height is cool but for driving, the flushed fitment is more comical looking with that much poke.

And watch the comments posted, at 10 bumps, it get's closed.

I'm not worried about the tire size, more the widths and offsets of the wheels themselves.

Not looking for crazy Bippu gangster camber or monster poke, so anything more than a healthy roll, mild pull with ~ -3° to -4° camber rear and 1° less up front is what I'm after. I've run similar camber on previous cars with no issues, so I'm not worried in the respect; and I've been rolling fenders for going on a decade, just haven't had time to really dive in and take a lot of measurements on this car yet.

Also I'm happy with my wheels I have, just like these a lot more and if he's keen on a trade, I'd pull the trigger!

Those are nice numbers!! I would get them. Im 18x10/11 +8 and this is how it looks im sure youll be fine. Just make sure you dump it after!

Note that i have pulled fenders but that because im +8 and my camber almost maxed.

Was looking around for tires and 21s of any size are virtually non-existent, so probably not the best idea... PD or RA, feel free to lock this up.

no need for a lock, but you can't compare your fitment to sleepy's because he has more tire to stretch to get under the fender whereas on a 21" you will not.

Will it fit? Probably. But will it look good? Unlikely without bodywork.

yeah, the limited tire sizes for 21s is too restricting to make something work let alone make those work the way I want.

I think I'll stick to 19s/20s


what about 19x10 13et and 19x11 23et?

I'm not worried about making them fit, I'm concerned that there are no tires really available for 21s. And paying 2-3x as much for a not perfect fitting tire is not something that ranks high on my scale of needs or wants in a wheel package.
