Double posting for a better shot.



Going to be flaring the rear a tad, & maybe running a 15MM spacer.

Next summer plan: Rota GTR-D (also known as P45 R2) 18x9.5 +12, 18x10 +12, maybe gold paint to centers...

Fenders already rolled. Tight fit? Rubbing in front? Tire recommendations?

In Aristo and Supra they look flush. What about Soarer?

It should be no problem at all. The car right above your post is mine, and I'm running 18x10.5 0 offset all around.

My specs:

F: 18x10.5 0 offset
Tire size: 225/40/18

I rub only because of my height. So full lock my wheel rubs my fender, and over bumps I rub top of tire to fender well.

R: 18x10.5 0 offset
Tire size: 235/40/18

To fit my rears with my height, I bashed in my rear inner fender arch. Made it as flat as I could all the way up the inside of the quarter panel, not just the fender lip. With these wheels, I'm contact between fender lip/wheel lip, and I'm assuming I'm at around -3 camber in the rear.

This thread is huge. I search for 18x8 +32 but didn't find anybody running them all around. Stock 95 Sc400 haven't picked a tire yet as i want to find out which will fit better. And if i'll need to roll my fenders

^, 225/45's should do the trick. You'll need spacers to push the wheels out. No need for a roll.

which offset requires no spacers? i don't mind slightly poking out. Dont like the sunken look of the stock 16's and +38 is sunken on some that i test fitted earlier. That's why i asked about +32 or should i go lower

^, 225/55/16 all around gives the proper overall diameter for speedometer reasons.
