Curious, I ditched my want of XXR's for some MB Battles, but my main concern is fitment.
I saw this at first:

Would I be able to run the same size?
The thing is, I don't wanna run camber, but I wanna be able to tuck a little with only rolling my fenders and stretching the tires a little; no pulling.
I was also thinking about getting 18x9 +30 in the front and 18x9.5 +23 in the rear (any good tire stretches for this?). I don't really see anyone staggering their rims that little, but I feel like I'd be able to get a decent fit. I just don't want my rims to look sunken in my fender. If anything, I want it to barely sit inside the fender.
And on a side note, I've seen some people with weird offsets on Battles. Is there a site that offers more sizes and offsets? I'm only looking at Discount Tire Direct.
So 97 sc300 5x114.3 and 94 Infiniti q45 5x114.3 but went to swap my rims today and they don't line up? Like wtf are we sure that Google is not lying to us?
What size tires should I run if I got 18x8 et +35 and 18x9 et +38? I'm stock height for now, will lower in the future to get rid of gap. Still trying to figure out what suspension will work best for me, I'm going to swap in a 2jzgte.

245/35/18 Front
265/35/18 Rear
I would also add a 10 mm spacer all around to make them more flush.....
What tire size would be good for me.I have 18 x9.5 x18x10.5 et22 .I'm currently running 275/35/18 in the rears with rolled fenders.still a slight rub.I have 215/35/18 in the fronts

I would go with 235/40/18 up front since you have that meaty 275/35/18 in the rear. May want to consider pulling your rears in the near future. Those are the sizes I am running and I am on 18x9 +16 and 18x10.5 +18 wheels.

Bare with me. I'm new to the Lexus SC world. I recently purchased a SC300. In looking at the wheel and tire fitment, and finding it somewhat confusing. Basically the SC's offset is 50. I understand that that is very drawn in, away from the fenders, certainly not a current look. However, without accounting for the difference between front and rear wheels, I see some fittings that are an offset of 24 and others that are 38. Both look well fit to me. There really is a difference between the two measurements. What am I missing?

If its not the lug pattern maybe the center bore is wrong or it may be hitting the brake caliper?

It comes down to width at that point. For example, +22 offset can really look dumb on a 7" wide wheel but amazing on a 10"...
im running a set of 350Z wheels.
18x8 +30 245/40/18
18x8.5 +33 255/40/18
I have a 10mm spacer all around with extended studs.
I'm also running hub rings and conical lug nuts.
wheels sit flush. fenders rolled flat all around.

Those look great, still angry about the stolen wheels though.. Did insurance ever pull through for you?
