Default Need to kno offset

I have a 1995 SC400 and i'm lookin at 18x8 and 18x9 volk racing gram lights 57 pro. what offset will i need to have these slightly tucked under the fender to the point where it is far enough out to hit the black fender liner if i lower it too much but still about 1mm or so from being completely vertically flushed with the exterior. also will this clear the big brake kit that steve was sellin in the group buy? the rotora 6 piston front 4 piston rear as seen here

TIA,
ant

you not only look at the offset, but the disk type...you need HIGH disk with offset in +38 to +42 would be ideal, depends on which wheel

You need to talk to Volk (or their US distributor). Only Volk will have the spoke profile drawings of their wheels- they can comparte this to the brake drawings and tell you with certainty if the wheels will fit.

I do this all day- they should have an Engineer-type person who can help you with this.

ok will do.... i'll check for brake compliance but for now i'd like to kno if i could fit 18x8 front with 245/40/18 tires and 18x10 rear with 285/35/18 tires or should i go 18x9 with 275/35/18 for the rears?..... what offset would i need to have it fit like this? llmidnitellsc40's specs for below are 19x8.5 +37 and 19x10 +44... would i be right in thinking i can use a +44 offset for the rear since it's the same width if i decide on the 18x10?
