Default Will 18x9.5 offset 30 fit all around?

Trying to buy some wheels today, some Linea Corse Lemans, and I was wondering would a 18x9.5 with an offset of 30 all around fit on my sc300. My car is lowered with espilirs and has the 97 body kit. I dont want to run a negative camber or go through tires every couple of months. I just dont want to be too conservative or too aggressive. So please let me know as soon as you can. Thanks.

and I know I will have to roll my fenders

^pretty much. its inevitable people!

but 30+ shouldnt rub in the rear. maybe, MAYBE touch a tad in the front.

If you're going to invest in wheels why not go with a staggered setup? You'll have no problems with those in the rear at all, front might touch a little.

+30 should be fine all around if youre running on stock suspension. if youre on springs of coilovers youll need a roll and a tire stretch. im on 18x9.5 +20 on stock (for now) with a small stretch and im fine for now.

With a +30 you can probably run a 255/35 all around.

Bumping this old thread, I'm looking at running this exact setup with 18x9.5 all around. The front offset +30. Will it clear the ls bbk?

Should be fine, my fenders are rolled and I fit 18x9.5 0 offset in the front and rear.

Caliper clearance relies heavily on spoke design rather than offsets.
