Not as cool as what I was going to do. Got Rotas. p45r2/3. And yeah, that was the one I was leaning toward, I'm not a huge fan of reverse staggered sizes. i.e 40 series front and 35 rear.
+20
Well, in a perfect world I would look at proper sizing etc. But this is the assbackwards world of trying to look cool and fit really wide wheels on your car haha, so I think a 40 series up front would 'look' weird for me. I know, your sizes make more sense, but I was just looking for what would fit best for mad stance yo
.
Here are the wheels btw (was hoping for anything but black, but alas, black was the only color in stock):
18x12 +20
18x10 +10
+20
how about choice 4 225 40 18 fronts on a 18x10 and 265 35 18 on a 18x12..
225 35 18 will be too skinny / way undersized, same with a 265 30 on a 18.. unless you plan to somehow change your speedo.. even a 235 40 18 is undersized height wise
if they were 19s instead of 18s then yes use 225 35 19 and 265 30 19

I think those will look good once you get them on. I didn't even realize Rota made them that wide lol. You will need a pretty decent pull in the rear. I have 18x11 +20 in the rear with 255/35s and here is how it sits...
and 18x10 +17 in the front, sitting up higher than normal because of the angle of the driveway..

The 18x10" wheel is +12, not +10.

, and those are the wheels I wanted too. I was just stubborn about either finding those exact offsets, or not buying them at all haha-- so I just never found a good set. And I'm having a guy do my fenders who's done several SCs and Soarers, and dude's like Zen master of fenders around here. He's doing a shave/roll/pull/wire tuck-- the whole shebang. I trust that the fenders will be fine
Yeah, 35 front and rear is what I'm doing. I'll take your word on the +12 I guess. I'm looking at the sticker on the wheel right now and it says +10-- but give or take 2mm doesn't make much difference anyway.

That's weird. Here in Europe, I have never seen an offset +10 GTR-D wheel and I have had two sets of GTR-D's.

got the Tsw Jamara chrome 20's, 20x9 in front, 20x10 in the back. Tires are 245/55 in front and 275/55 in back. Definately gonna have to roll my fenders though when i wanna lower it.
