will there be any rubbing issues on the inside?
will there be any issues with the fender?

please help?
and the point of the entire official wheel/tire fitment guide was defeated.

please read! please.

and don't worry. Offset that high will be just fine...you're near stock for goodness sakes.

Anything from 25 to 35 offset is mint. I think optimal is around 30. My 27 offset is pushing the limits, and fenders will need to be rolled. +45 and your in too deep

19x8.5 +27, 19x10 +30 with 225/35 and 245/35 falken st115's it's a kinda agressive fitment, but the more i look at it, the sadder i get. so i'm gettin the fenders rolled this weekend (hopefully) and next week i'm ordering 20mm project kics spacers for the front and 15mm for the rear so it'll kinda be like 19x8.5 +7 and 19x10.5 +15 HAR HAR HAR im looking for the middle of the tires to sit flush with the fender

Why would you want that? Say goodbye to your paint on the rocker panels, I'd imagine.

The rears look flush...similar fitment to mine...

The fronts could use that spacer..mine is 19x8.5 +15 and I can probably go out another 10mm...

Djdot will be running Vertex front fenders? If so ge the +15 or lower

Boostshak I know its off topic but what exhaust is that ! ? So nice.

Cherplex there is your reason right there to go 225 and 245 ! Looks so perfect IMO.

I can buy some nice wheels for my SC300. They were mounted on a Nissan Skyline and a couple of Mitsu Evo´s.

Front 18 x 8,5 +35
Rear 18 x 8,5 + 25

Tyresize: 235/40

Most important question: Will it look good with this offset? I really have no idea and haven´t found some examples yet.

No coils, but Tein Flex will be mounted.

Thanks in advance.

Im buyin some Volk GT-C's, and i want to do 19x10.5s in the back. So my question is what off set and tire size combo do you guys suggest, is it possible to do w/out rolling my fenders?
i want to do the 10.5's instead of the 9.5's for the deeper lip and for the performance, but mainly for the look. Would i just be better off with the 9.5's?
I have esplier springs and KYBs

I went 10.5's with my 19's. You will have to roll with espelirs and 10.5 width. I had 9.5 +35mm in 18's and had to roll. In your case I would go with the 10.5 but with supra offsets high 30's low 40's.

What offset did you go with and what tire size (275/19 or what)?

so i just got a set of work vs-xx for cheap, 17s though but i want 17's in front and 18's in the rear. yea i might get flame for it but yea its my car. everyman to his own.

17X8.5 +41- im gonna be running a 245 tire and probably a spacer too. something like a 5-10mm spacer

now im trying to figure out which 18's i should get

18X10 +33 or
18X10.5 +26
18X11 +20
18X11.5 +26

with the 10.5 and 11 i think like a 265 or 255 tires. i just want to at most to roll my fenders in the back.

im leaning towards the 18X10.5 with the +26, any inputs?
