Concept One RS-8
20x8.5 F+37
20x10.0 R+35
225/35/20
255/35/20
Will this work or will the front offset be too much? Will the front rub? Gonna lower the car to within 1 above the lip of the rim itself. Willing to roll fenders if nessesary which Im pretty sure it will need be. Will I need fender pulling on the rear or will a roll be fine? Can somebody help. im losing sleep just trying to figure this stuff out.

it'll fit but it'll definitely rub if you're going to go "1 inch above he lip." The front will rub when you turn, the rear will rub all the time if you go that low with those wheel/tire specs. You'll need a roll all around for sure, a pull in the back, maybe a pull up front just to be able to turn lock-to-lock.

have a choice of 2 diff sizes of HP EVO wheels for my 92 SC400, wanting to keep ride height stock to just below stock, but def not raised, don't want to roll wheel wells or have to do suspension changes either, would like decent steering response and handling as well. just looking to replace stock wheels in the end is all
options are:
19x8.5 on all 4, backspacing unk at the moment on 245/35
- or -
staggered 18x8 and 18x9 +38 on 225/40 and 245/40
tire comparison calc shows the 19's with 245/35 to be near equal to stock. Same for the front in the 18 but the rear loses almost 3/4" in overall height. I can rotate tires as usual with the 19's, but can only go side to side on the 18's so that cuts tire wear down slightly. No idea if there are ride issues or steering issues on the car as you move away from stock sizes into either of these oversized wheels. price for both in the same ballpark.
I've mowed through 50 pages directly and looked via search into this thread directly, nothing definitive comes up in my efforts with specific info on suspension/fitment issues or gotchas or ride quality or photos, thx in advance for your thoughts

OK, so here's whats going on.....I'm currently running a set of XXR 527s 17x9.75 +25 while my 18x10 521s are getting new tires. I'm really liking the look of the 527s, but want to get away from the knockoff wheels.
Work Emotion XD-9s, 18x10 on all 4 corners...what would be the closest offsets to the 9.75"s +25? Work's website says the emotion XD-9s come with a +38 and +18.
Thanks!

Hey guy's I'm planning to get wheels by the end of the year. I was wondering if I'll have trouble fitting 19x9.5 front and 19x10.5 rear +20 offset all around. I remember I tried fitting my brother's Scaras that are 19x10 in the front and 19x10.5 in the rear (I think the offset was around 20+) and I didn't have any problems fitting it since it didn't have any spacers. I might have needed more camber though to clear it.
