They are 11.5s in the rear.I guess it is true that different companies measure offset differently. Yes I am sure That is the sizes because I had them made to the exact set up I wanted when D-2 autosports had there march madness sale. I must say works measure there offsets more accurate to how toyota does because I measured using tt wheels for strut clearance and it was dead on when I got them (4mm to the strut) Just like the tts P.S your car was my desktop pic forever Hoebag.

its possible my offsets are more aggressive than what the seller told me. there arent any stickers for my wheels that show offsets, but i used http://www.1010tires.com/WheelOffsetCalculator.asp to compare my friends fitment on his sc with 9 +26 and 10 +26 and the difference is about 22mm out on my rims.. which seems about right

i dunno.. i need to measure the backspacing i guess

Yeah if there are no stickers on it them measuring the backspace will give you the answer your fronts look to be around 10 and the rear looks mid teens.

I would get an alignment done, then measure for a spacer... alignment will have a small affect on how much space you have for tire/wheel...
are you kidding me? based on alignment alone you may vary your tire/wheel fitment as much as 20mm

I wouldn't say 20mm, maybe 10 or so...

I run -2.6 in the rear, and theres about 5mm difference from -1.0 negative camber (which is considered within stock tolerances)... Not many people are going to run more than -2.6, so, 5-10mm total... I suppose if you go crazy with like -4.5 or something, sure, 20mm, but lets be reasonable, about 1 in 5000 SC owners will actually run that much negative camber...

ok guys im looking for a set of wheels that might be too ambitious for stock fenders.
they are...
18x9.5j -3
18.11j -4
i was wondering if i could be able to fit these if i slam it with like 2deg neg camber on back with a roll and pull...btw its probably going to stick out an inch past the stock fender so theoretically a 1in pull should make these fit "flush"? thanks

hahahahahahah


absolutely not...


unless your tires are 3 inches narrower than the wheel...


I run 19x9.5 with +35 and with -1 degree camber rear, it was dead even with the fender, now that I run -2.6 degrees, it's got 5-10 mm extra space... yours will stick out more than 2" more than mine... again, unless you are running a narrow tire, it just isn't gonna fit, even with a pull...

Just look at turbotegs set up to reference your sizing your rears would sit almost identical to his and you will need to go with the vertex front fenders as well.It is do-able but by no means practical.By the way why sacrifice the 46mm of space that you will have between your wheel and strut?

VGnomore nice setup with the VSXX! Love the kit too. I wish my JIC fit that well.

Hoebag I agree I think your fronts are more aggressive than 10 +18. They look closer to 10 +/- 0 if they stick out 25mm.
