Hello,

I'm trying to get some rims and the ones I like have the following specs:

18x9 +35 offset and all around.

I do not like my wheels sticking out past the fenders. I actually prefer my wheels sunken in so I can drop the car low and tuck the wheels in the fender. Do you think this setup would work?

Some work will have to be done, but it can fit.

They should fit but I would recommend rolling or shaving the rear fenders to be safe.

How would 18x8.5 +35 front and 18x10.5 +22 rear fit? I'd probably have a 245/40 front and 275/40 rear.

You'll need to modify the fenders and the rear may occasionally rub, but it should fit fine.

finally a pic, 18x10 +35 all around advan tc3. 265/35f 285/35r ( was going to do full square with 285's in the front too but they hit the liners at full lock and probably more when turning and hitting a bump. they sit right at the fender maybe 2-3mm past in the rear and 5mm in the front as the front fender kind of comes back in toward the center of the car. but imo they fit perfect for me i forgot my alignment specs but basically very little camber.. not a huge fan of massive camber, this is also why i have wheel gap (around 2 fingers ), the rear squats pretty hard under accel.

SSR is not knock off. They are old school, but well worth the price. I would rebarrel them for more lip.

That's not a blue lip, it's protective tape since those wheels are brand new. They can't be relipped because the wheels aren't 3 piece it looks like a 2 piece welded wheel.

You can fit some pretty large tire sizes on those. If you don't want them, and they're in socal. I'll go buy them tomorrow. lol

Hey guys, have a question about fitment. I'm looking to get a set of Enkei Raijin's for my SC300. planning on doing 18x8.5 for the front and 18x9.5 for the rear. My concern is what offset to go with either +35 or +15 are my options for the rear. Also what tires sizes to run. Any input would be great, thanks!

***WILL THEY FIT?***
Cosmis XT-206R Wheels
18x9.5 +10 offset? (tough to tell from the pic)
Tires Size 235/40/18
Looking to pick these wheels up today, just want to verify that they will fit without any extensive modifications. Thanks!

Everyone has different definitions of extensive. Those will poke in the front and rear. 235/40 on a 9.5 should be a good enough stretch to clear a roll and pull with some minor camber (-2).

Thanks, that's pretty much exactly the information was looking for!
