Default pic request of aggressive 18" wheel fitments n sc300

Hi all,

I just wanted to see what some of you have as far as 18" wheel fitments with aggressive offsets. (not +25 or higher) I've gone through the wheel fitment thread, and searched, but cannot seem to find 18x9.5 wheels with +10 to +18 offset or around that neighborhood except for that blue sc with VS-KX i believe.

I'm installing a set of coilovers again, and will be getting a set of 18's, but i haven't come to a decision yet. I kinda got it narrowed down to the Work CR Kai, 18x9.5 +12 all around, XD9 18" staggered, or ROTA P45R 18x9.5 +20 all around(they dont have the +12 available)

I had a set of MB Weapons in 18x9 +15 lowered on Stance coilovers, but the flat face of the wheels didn't look very aggressive.

Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks!

JT

Can you share a picture of what you consider an aggressive fit?

I consider this aggressive



While others consider this aggressive ...



And of course then there's this ...

I'm actually at work right now, I'll post pics again of my aggressive wheel fitment. I actually have 18x9.5 (+25) in the rear and an 18x8.5 (+24) rim size in the front, And let me tell you, the wheels sit perfectly flush with the fenders, especially if it's lowered too.

Thanks,
I'd say the s14 one is more of what I'm looking for.

I've gone through the whole wheel fitment thread, but thing is, a ton of the wheels on there have way too positive offsets(around 35 and above, which are not really what I'm looking for. The second post with a link to the BBS wheels does help, but I think I'm leaning towards something closer to +12 i guess.

The first 2 sets of pics were S14's, but I'll assume you meant the burgundy one, as the red one is a little harder to tell.

That said, you're going to want a 9" or 9.5" wide front with an offset in the low teens, 12 or 15. As for the rears you should probably look for something in a 10' or 10.5" with an offset in the 20's.

Be prepared to roll AND pull, plus you'll need to run camber.

If you want to go with the XD9's you will need to run spacers. The offsets are listed in my sig.

Thanks for the replies...

I've decided on a set of CR Kai's in 18x9.5 +12 all around. I'm not going to be able to put the wheels on til I get my coilovers on the 15th.

I'll post some pics once I get everything in.

Regards,
JT

Waiting on the coilovers, they are on route and will be here mid next week... but that is my offset (0 for the rear).... on 18x9.5........ So I will lower it, and add some camber to make these bad boys tuck the stock fenders....


The fronts have spacers right now.... And this is just a test fit pic...
