Need Help on Wheels and Tires Combo
I read the official thread about the wheels and tires guide but I still want some inputs from the experts. I am about to get some Varrstoen ES 1.1.2.
This is what I have:
1998 SC400 with Shine Kit
Megan Coilovers
I am thinking 19 x 8.5 front and 19 x 10.5 rear. I am trying not to have any mods on the fenders. Please help me out with offset and tires size.
Thanks

As for the rear... 10.5 +20 will DEFINITELY need to be rolled at the least, especially since you are lowered.
What tire widths are you planning to run?

From personal experience, I had 18X8.5 +35 in the front before with a 235/35 tire.... and I was lowered maybe 2.25 inches in the front. The wheels would occasionally rub against the plastic panels in the inner wheel well during harder turns.
Now I have 19x10.5 in the rear +22 275/35 tire, I needed to roll and pull the rear fenders for it to work.

the OP of the wheel and tire fitment guide has in his first post the setup of people with pictures and whether or not they have fender mods~ Its my understanding that with a 10" rim with +22 offset is the maximum you can run with only a fender roll and low tire stretch depending on how low you are. +30 and up shouldnt require fender rolls.

for you to run a 10.5 in the rear with no rolling, the offset would have to be like +35 or 40 depending on tire size and how much you're lowered. i think the highest offset that company offers is +22ish or so. may even hafta do a slight pull...
i'm on a 8.5 +25 in front, 225/40, and a 10 +25 in the rear on 245/40, lowered about 2.5 to 3 inches or so, and if i hadn't have rolled the fenders i'd be rubbing badly. with my fenders rolled, i don't rub at all. put your mind at ease and roll your fenders, and you'll have a lot more options with wheels.

So it's pretty darn close to the specs you posted. Even if you are "mildly" lowered by CL standards, you will have to pull the rears a good amount and shave/ roll both front and rear.
