Default I need wheel fitment and tire size advice......and yes I have searched!

I just bought a set of Blitz Technospeed Z2's that came off of a Supra TT, got a pretty damn good deal too.

Here are the offsets and tires sizes as they sit.

Front 18x9 +41 offset........255/35/18
Rear 18x10 +45 offset.........285/35/18

The rear tires are shot the fronts are in good shape....Im not sure why the dude was running 35 series on both front and rear.

Anyhow, I need some advice on how well these offsets will work on the SC, and what tire sizes I should be running with these. I would love to keep the fronts becuase they are still good, but it seems to me I should be running a 40 series up front with a 35 series in the rear.

As of right now the car sits on stock suspension, it will be lowered soon, but IM not slamming it to the point of being tucked...... probably will drop it to right around 1/2 finger gap. I DO want the wheels to sit as flush with the fender as possible, will I need spacers to do this, if so any idea as to what size I will need to push them flush?

Alot of questions mixed in here, and I did search, just didint find anyone with these exact offsets, etc to compare to.

Thanks in advance.

They should fit fine without any fender mods. Stock TT offsets are +50, you would need lower offsets to make em flush, spacers will work too. Were these the set that were going for $1500 shipped? If so, it was a damn good deal I came close to getting them myself but had other things to take care of. Post some pics up of them when you get a chance.

Yeah these were the ones off of Supraforums.....I actually ended up getting them for $1400, I shipped them for free through my work....so $1400 out the door. I just picked them up last night, they are in near perfect condition. I was a little worried about what kind of condition they were going to be in due to the low price, but they are all good.

One Hot......if end up using a spacer to push the wheels out, should I go with a 245f 275r set up, or will these tire sizes still work?

Thanks

I dont want to put them on until I get this thing dropped....and I need new rear tires too. I might throw them on real quick just to see what they look like.

not sure yet.......probably the Tein basics or SS'.......I gotta go with coilovers, I like to have the control of where the car sits. I just threw two of them on the car on the passenger side....it definitely needs to drop about 2" in the front and about 1.5" in the rear.
