Hello wheel fitment gods...
Can you tell me what size and offeset wheels Ueno is running on his Vertex Ridge Soarer as pictured here:

Thanks in advance.

you can do lower offsets if you choose to go with skinnier tires

Here's an example - my wheels are +35mm offset, 9.5" wide - they sit very close to flush with the rear fender... they sit 92mm out from the hub, so, reasonable to say, a wheel with 90-100mm front side depth (not a technical term, but meaning from the hub of the vehicle to the face of the wheel) is flush with the rear fenders... the face of those 18x13's would sit 193mm from the hub, a whopping 4 inches out farther than mine - the positive side is that that wheel would work in terms of inner suspension clearance just fine...

Lowered or not has almost nothing to do with wheel fitment / clearance - if a wheel doesn't rub at normal ride height, but rubs when lowered, then all that means is that at normal ride height if you hit a bump, it will rub - lowering just uses up part of your available suspension travel...

No, those widths will be fine, the heights won't though - both of those tires are about an inch too tall... I run 275/30-19 on 19x9.5 +35mm offset, and no rubbing with rolled fenders...

I'm no wheel expert but I can tell you from what I'm experiencing currently with my car is scrubbing at full lock at the height it sits at now (dropped 2" up front, 1.25" rear... scrubs either way, though usually when negating a right hand turn and will scrub the left side guard lining) but it'd never scrub at normal height. That's on 235/40/18's and only going by my experiences on a +40ish mm offset. My old Soarer (18x8.5"/+38mm, 235/40/18 fronts, dropped about 2.5") never scrubbed the front guards whatsoever, and the way the car was aligned to cater for the drop virtually prohibited any outer guard lining scrubbing. Remember, I'm only referring to the car when it's wheels are locked, not driving straight (usually it's fine driving straight unless I crash throught an ungodly behemoth pothole).
whats weird about your car, is I have 255/35-18's on a +40 mm offset, and the only time mine rubs is at full lock and going through the dip turning onto my street faster than 25 mph - no other time, ever have I gotten the front to rub...
