Hey guys.
I'm reading through all pages of this topic but was wondering if somebody could tell me if the offset on those wheels will fit the 95 SC.
Sorry about noob question but want to make sure what I'm looking at instead of crying to my pillow after

Appreciate in advance

they'll fit, but not easily...

with that offset, you will need slightly stretched tires, rolled fenders, and possibly a little negative camber...

to avoid that, you would need something in the +35 to +40 offset...

Those Super Hiros are a clean set of wheels!

My question though and I probably missed this some where on this thread, but Im looking at wheels that are 19x10 +20 rears and 19x8.5 +20 fronts with this fit with espilars?

The offset is what worries me the most...

Edit: I also missed this in the very first post in this thread:

Jeremyp111
front: rim size 18x8; offset +38; tire size 245/40/18; no fender modifications
rear: rim size 18x9; offset +38; tire size 265/35/18; no fender modifications

Same wheels I'm getting. From the pics(page 2) it looks pretty good and i might not even need the spacers. tho the tires on the ones i'm getting are smaller.

I just bought a set of Work Meister S1's for my sc.

18x9.5 +24 front
18x10.5 +24 rear
I currently have a set of HP Design HP5 18x8 and 18x9 with 225/40 and 265/35 tires.
I'm going to swap the tires onto the new wheels but I'm thinking the the 225/40 in the front might be too much of a stretch. I'm on Stance GR+ Pro coilovers. Hopefully I will only have to roll the fenders but I think I may have to do some pulling.

I havent gotten the wheels in yet but I would rather not buy new tires yet.

what size tires should i run on
19x9.5 +40 in the front
19x9.5 +22 in the rear

I am lowered on espelir ASD/ tokico blues with rolled front fenders and shaved rears. i am not aiming for a huge stretch just slight stretch

I was thinking 245/35 all around but just wanted to get some inputs before i do anything. Thanks

I have 19" Enkei LX-M with 19x8.5 in the front and 19x9.5 in the back with a +44 and +45 offset I believe. I currently have Tokico Blues and I was wondering what springs I should get for a nice drop while maintaining the smooth suspension.

Forgot to mention that I have 235/35 in the front and 245/35 in the back.

Yeah don't get me wrong, +38 is conservative but will be alright for most. It's not flush, won't require flared fenders, etc. but I'm with you on not being big at all with spacers after what I've experienced.

if you do 225/40 up front, the 245/40 should match up... a 245/35 on 18x9 will have a thinner sidewall compared to a 225/40 on 18x8

Almost the setup I have, but I'm rolling on 19"s. Here's a pic of my car that might help:


I'm running 235/35 up front on 19x9.5 +24, you can see the mild stretch there. a 225/40 would be about 1/2-inch narrower on width. You'd expose the wheel A LOT but if that's your flavor then ok.

BTW Depending on how low you are on your coilovers, you most likely have to pull all 4 corners, and most definitely have to roll all 4 (had to do all 4 on my car)

If I remember correctly, Espelir ASD's are the lowest spring to get (1.5-2ish I think?) Had them on my car before, I wanted a good drop (other springs like Tein, Tanabe only dropped the car no more than 1") and the Espelir's were pretty good, rode nice.

So you think I should be good with Espelirs without rolling my fenders or having any camber issues? Also, I wanted a bigger drop in the front than in the back. Do these have that?
