What are you thinking? 295 out back and 255 up front?

Will these fit without fender modifications?
Front 9Jx18 +40
Rear 10.5Jx18 +46
And what tire size will fit?

I think that would be awesome.

Rather than going with a lower offset as Black_SC suggested, a camber kit to dial out the camber might make sense to flush up any of the tires, since you will be running huge power numbers with a 2JZ.

you definatly need camber if not stretching, i think
19x9.5 et+5~10
19x11 et+30 ****maybe need coilovers for this
I'm trying to get away from stretching lol My wheels now are 19x9+26 and 19x10.5+26 and I'm running 235/35/19 and 265/30/19. I want slightly wider widths but conservative offsets.

I am dropped 1.5" in the rear, and the camber is -1.2 degrees at the factory suspension adjustment limits.

Sherwin is lower than I am, and with 600whp running through a 2JZ soon, he is going to need to stay connected to the road. Dialing out the camber closer to drag specs would help the cause for sure.

Just a thought...


ps. Sherwin...I think the fat tires out back would look amazing. I have 285's and 245's on mine right now, and they look appropriate on my lowered, stock-bodied car. By no means do they look overly meaty or over wide for the car.

Does anyone have a shot of FRONTS 9.5 width +20, and REAR 10 width +0?

How much work would be needed to get them to fit? (stretched tyres etc)

Send a PM to CL Members Hoebag and TurboTeg. Both have and have had wheel set-ups at or near +0 offsets. Both have the fenders pulled upwards of an inch.
