If you completely roll them flat or shave your fenders then u can get away with not doing a pull. I would recommend a 255/35 or a 265/35. Both will give u a stretch look

Thanks man!

Quick question. On a front wheel that's 18x9.5 with an offset of +22 what tire size would you recommend? I'm buying new wheels and tires soon so I want to start looking around.

I hate to follow that ^^^ up with my "conservative" fitment issues (looks sick btw) but I've got 18x9+24 front and 18x10+24 rear going on my car soon with h&r street performance coiolovers. What are the best tire sizes with not alot of stretch and also with stretch. I know im going to have to fender roll, but maybe not if I dont go too low, right?

Ok guys need some advice here. I want to order a set of Varrstoen es2's. If I order the 18x9.5 all around with a +30 offset and I roll my fenders will I have to modify anything else? I want to run regular size tires. I don't want to stretch my tires. Also what size tire would you guys recommend?

Hey guys, just wanted to get an opinion of a wheel width/offset combination I'm looking to fit to my Soarer.

XXR521s in 10.5 ET35 on the rear and 8.5 ET25.

Am I right in thinking that it is only the rears that need to be rolled when running the ET25 10.5, so my thinking was go for the ET35s on the rear to and ET25 for brake clearance? So XXRs go on without the need for a roll AND should clear brakes.

Our roads are WAY too bad to care about stance/hellaflush type stuff. I just want something that fits, handles good, clears Supra TT brakes and preferably not involve rolling.

Thoughts?

offset doesn't determine clearance for brakes. It depends on the face and type. (Low, med, high disk face). If I remember correctly the xxr521 do clear. But I don't remember them coming in a 10.5 rear...

That really all depends on the "style" or set up you are going for.

Hey guys.

I'm looking into a set of wheels that are 18x8.75 +20 or 35? front and 18x10.25 +20 rear. I'm looking for a stance similar to that of bigwes. Not looking to stretch the tires or tilt the wheels or any of that. Just want a nice flush look with adequate sidewall without having to do heavy fender mods. I also intend to drop my car 1 inch overall from stock height when my coils come in next week. What size tires would you recommend? I'm a complete newb when it comes to this stuff.

Thanks guys!

Bolt Pattern 5x114.3
Front Size 18X8.0, Offset +35
Rear Size 18X9.0, Offset ET +30

These offsets and widths should fit just fine on the SC
