Default Need some help on sizing

I'm looking for a set of of Racing Hart C-2's, but have also found a set of O-Z Racing Nova 2piece wheels that are almost identical in style. I may go for these, but they are only available in 18 X 9 w/+40MM offset. Which would mean 245/40/18's.

Can this work on the front of the GS400, and do I want to be running such a wide tire on the front????

BTW, I have been told by OZ that this will work, and I will be able to clear the SUPRA brakes when I get the urge to upgrade.

Here's what it looks like:

Don't think it's possible...I am trying to fit a 19x9 +42/+45 with a 245 tire and I am having problems! You will have rubbing even with a 255 tire...that's for sure!

J,

offset wise, you should be fine..my 18s were 18x9/+37 with 245/40/18 and i had 1.4" drop no problemo..

BUT, to clear supra breaks, you need HIGH disk, along with the right offset
