comparison in height...oem up front, 295/35/18 towards the back

After all of the helpful information I found in this thread, I finally had the knowledge to order my rims with confidence. Too bad they said they could get the 35 offset and sent 40 because that's all the 8 inch rim comes in. I guess it's also too bad that they sent me only one 9 inch rim and 3 8 inch, instead of 2 & 2. And then the really big disappointment is that ALL 3 of the 8 inch rims had chunks missing on the outer lip (see pic below), and the 9 inch had small scratches around the entire outside lip. SO, once these "minor" setbacks are dealt with, I will be posting some pictures when they are mounted. I guess all of this is to be expected from a company that tried for 10 minutes to talk me out of a 9 inch rim with a 35 offset and a 265 tire for the back because "according to our guy it won't fit." At least the company I ordered my tires from sent me the correct sizes. I do have one question: I will be getting an alignment at the same time the wheels are mounted b/c I'm changing my shocks. If I decide to put a 5-10 mm spacer later, would I have to get it realigned?

Do rear brake calipers from the Supra Turbo require high disc fitment?

I am looking to "downgrade" from my rather conservative +37 offset 19s to some very aggressive +18 offset 18s.

I am looking at 18x10 +18 out back and 18x9 +18 in the front.

Do you think a 255/40/18 would tuck under a very flushy rolled fender out back with a 1.5" drop? If not, how would a 245/40/18 stretch on an 18x10?

Do you think a 235/40/18 would tuck under a rolled fender up front with a 1.9" drop? If not, how would a 225/45/18 stretch on an 18x9?

Chime in if you have had experience with aggressive wheel fitment, especially with 18s.

Thanks...

The TT rears do not require a high disc. I run super low disc by Weds in the rear with TT brakes.

need advice. I bought SSRgt3 rims 18/9.5 fr +24 18/10.5 rear +22... the tires are 245/40/18 fr & 275/35/18 rear.. I put on 255/35/18 in rear. The rims rub in rear some and front a little. I am having fender ROlled ( could not do it with bat) . Do you think i should have them pulled? Should i run a 225/40/18 in front? I was also told i could have the built in spacers to the rims grinded and cut down. is this a good idea or bad?
Thanks

bad idea... the most you'd ever get out of machining the hub of the wheel is about 5 mm, which will help, but not tremendously... (and it's not safe, and it would ruin your wheels)

get the fenders rolled and see where it goes, if it's still not satisfactory, sell the wheels or pull the fenders...
