Default Need help with wheels!

I'm looking to get some 18 inch racing hart m5 3-piece for my 2000 ES300. I don't know too much about offsets so I'm hesitant to buy. The wheels are 18 x 8.5 +51 offset. Will this fit without rubbing? I'm currently dropped on tanabe df210 springs. I think the offset is a bit high, but can I run spacers to push them out more or is that not a good idea? Any input would be appreciated. Thanks!

check with D2 autosports for all of your questions. Those guys are really down to earth, will give you a straight forward answer as well as be able to get you decent wheels at a great price. Don't have to worry about "getting taken" when dealing with those guys. they can assist you with the offset questions, drops, etc and help you create something special. PS..... No I don't work for them LOL!!!! Met them in person and was really impressed with their business manner.

51 is too high.. use a 5-10mm spacer and itll be cool.. but closer to 10mm and you might run into rubbing problems.. take off the plastic fender lining and roll the rear slightly and itll fit perfectly


p.s. i LOVE racing hart m5's.. since i had a pair in 19" on my es
