Im aware, although at least the rears would have beein in the ball park I wanted to accept a tir of this girth. Im playing with weight transfer and suspension travel in the rear to hopefuly make everything work. Will keep yall posted on the flares

Thanks!

Another good idea might be to have some of the pad shaved off if you don't plan on using big brakes. That will push the wheel more inboard.

Read the whole post on wheel fitment. There are even wilder setups than that. Look at Monghol-Khan and TurboTeg or or even Workaholic. My wheels fit almost as wild as his with 9.5 +25. You wouldn't know what flush fitment is if i did it for you. In all honesty you do you stick the tire and rim slightly past the fenders and then you run negative camber and a stretched to fill out the wheel wells.

Read the whole post are you nuts? That would take me a whole day...Besides I know the sizes and fits of all tires in the SC's...I've tried Supra big brake swaps, widened and altered rear rims etc... When my wheels stuck out I almost puked...

I fitted the widest tire that can possibly fit in the rear wheel wells without curling the lip...275/35/ZR18's.....Any wider and I would scrap either the rear shock or fender lip.... I speak from experience....

Unless you have custum made extended fender effects stick outs stink...Unless your a chollo I don't think it works) Just my opininon, everyone has different tastes...

This is not a good pic, but it is the only one I have...the tire extends to the lip edge...

Okay so I searched EVERY page of this thread. I called Volk who said they dont have the wheels I want that will fit...obviously because they are being conservative. In any case, can you guys lend some help...I really dont want to roll or have to shave much if any but would like as big a lip as possible. I am on Buddy Club Coilovers so I would obviously have it lowered a bit also. Below are the front and rears and available offsets. Thanks for ANY and ALL help!

REAR
19x9.5
+43,+28,+4,+17,+5,+30,+40,+23,+53,+37,+14,+49

FRONT
19x8.5
+43,+46,+24,+30,+21,+36,+34,+11

Thanks again!

I say fronts +11 (roll fenders) or +21...
rears = +23 or +30 to play it safe...

Tire sizes fronts, 225 or 235's...
rears = 245's, maybe 255 or 265...

Be sure to lower it at least to the tire or else it'll be poking out..
My setup is 19x8.5 +15 (I can probably go out at least another 5-10 mm...)
Rears are 19x10 +30...i posted pix here so check them out so you see where yours will sit...

His wheels arent even that bad. Maybe you should read the whole thread, or just look at the pics. If everyone has different tastes maybe you shouldnt have made the comment "Your ruined when the tire and rim stick out past the fenders....There is a fine line between awesome and discusting....Becareful...." AND MAYBE you shouldnt use a word like cholo some people might find that offensive.

With those offsets I don't think you need to run stretched tires to make them fit. You might need a slight roll depending on your drop.
