+35 on a 9.5" wheel and a 275 width tire will need to have the fenders rolled...

I will admit though, now that I run more negative camber (-2.5), there is more clearance... still would need the fenders rolled, but not as badly...

I want it to just be flush, or a bit behind the fender. trying to keep away from rolling, or running very stretched tires.
I was thinking of doing 19x9.5 +36 offset, and 275/30 tire, Will this clear easily w/o issue? Then I saw rim depth......

Problem is like, I said, the wheel comes in ALOT of variations.

Im really lost...What would be the optimal choice? (size, width, offset, depth, tire size)

i currently have 19 x 8.5 (235/35) and 19 x 10s out back (275/30), both front and rear are +35mm offset. the SC is dropped 2 inches and rub ever so slightly up front on turns and i have the rears cut with no problems.

wanted to ask whether 18 x 9 (235/40) and 18x10 (265/35) will pose a problem with +25 offset. i do not want to modify the the fenders anymore on my car except for maybe a slight roll upfront. i care more for the wheel sizes rather than the tires as i can change them. if the wheels will fit what size tires would make it all just perfect?

thanks in advance!

17's are too small imo for low profile tires to get that look.

emoshun , Xotic sC - take it to PM please. I'm going to clean up the thread from your back and forth.

Let me ask something of all of you... I ask you stop telling people to 'just search'. It bumps the thread over and over, creates conflicts like this and provides absolutely no value.

As an alternative (if you do want to post a reply) tell the person to search, give them a link to advanced search and tell them what keywords to use and some hints. Link a couple of threads you find.

Tell them to search - drive new members away.
Teach them to search - make a friend of a new member.

Default thanks

so u say 17s will not make an sc have that low profile look. Why is it some cars look the way they do is it that they lower the car in the front and raise it on the back and if itis that can u lower a car urself or do u have to go to the mechanic. Could it possibly be that people put bigger tires in the rear and smaller ones in the front. Please im trying to make my car look like the green one wit gold rims. look below. Please help.

To achieve that look, you will need 18" or 19" wheels that are wide; 9" front, 10" rear, or wider with low offset (+20mm or so) wheels, and stretched tires (245's or 235's)

the car will need to be lowered on either supra shocks w/ aftermarket springs or a full coilover setup, and the fenders will need to be rolled to prevent rubbing...
