Default Quick question before I order my wheels

The place I am ordering my wheels from told me to run this setup on a SC300

18x8.5 +20 front
18x9.5 +35 rear


I just want to make sure this would be a correct offset to run for a close to flush look and not sunk in look.

Thanks
Moe

They will fit fine. I used 9.5 and 8.5 both with a 17mm offset and they fit with some work to the fenders. Only thing I could't use were Big brake kits. Be sure your spoke design lets you run a BBK, if you have bigger brakes over stock.

Right now i have 19X9 up front with a 29m offset and they clear my brakes barely and 19X10 plus 22 out back. Then again, I have modded fenders.

appreciate your quick reply, one more question

front tire will be 235/40 18 and rear tire is a 265/35 18





Would you rather have 18" wheels or 19" wheels??

I'd rather have 19's, but realistically, I can only afford 18" tires.
