Default Will this work? (rims and tires)

- 19x8.5(fronts) 19x9.5(rears) with 35 offset
- 245/40/19(fronts) 275/35/19(rears)
- Eibach prokit intended for the N/A supra. 1.3" drop for the front and 1" for the rears.


The rims are ADR sterlings. I know it's not the right way to go, but they just came out with a 19x9.5 with a 3.5 inch lip. I'm not a big baller, I can't afford the expensive rims.

What do you guys think?

im not wheel expert but i think it will come very close considering the lower offset on the wheels. But it should definately work if u roll fenders. I'm sure someone else with a similiar setup will chime in and be of further help to you.

i THINK if you can get 40 front and back (8.5 and 9.5) that would be pretty good

i honestly think you're gonna rub with that drop on the SC. Especially with the fat tire setup.

If you have to get +35 offset in the rears with a 9.5 width, I would recommend to go with a 255 setup.

8.5 in the front and +35 with 245/40 will probably rub your fender lining since your running on a 40 sidewall..You can probably get away with this because its pretty minor..

I would go with 245/35/19 and 255/30/19

what dennis said is correct. although, be aware that running stretched tires is kinda bad when you want protection for your rims.

it'll look good though....

Do you guys think I should look into other rims before getting this one? What would be the best offset for 19x8.5 fronts and 19x9.5 rears?

if you want rim protection, look for other rims. +35 is cutting close,and without wider fenders, you'll have some problems.

also, do you really want the fat tire setup? it'll be like running some 20's on your car. if you want fat tire setup, get some safer offsets.

let me know if you want fat tires or not. i'll tell you my opinion.

i agree with lee, if you don't want to run stretch, definitely look at other options

Careful with stretched tyres... have heard a few horror stories with them.

Yeah I want fat tires. what's a good safe offset for 19x8.5 and 19x9.5? I'll probably just save up more so i can get better rims.
