That should be a very nice setup. Will need a roll maybe a pull.

So the 255's up front shouldn't be a problem as long as I get a fender pull?

Well I just got a pair of Sportmax 962's shipped for $293. I Know I know ewwwwww sportmax....but hey who can pass up that deal. They can be drift spares.

18x7.5 front +38 offset

18x9.5 rear +32 offset

I have 1.25" spacers in the rear now and want to keep them on and push the rears out far. What should I get for tires I am willing to stretch to still use the spacers and willing to do a roll and maybe even minor pull?

I'd imagine with the spacers in the rear it will look a lot like Boostshakalaka's set up.

rears need a roll unless you want to run -4 camber.

18x7.5 front +38 offset

18x9.5 rear +32 offset with 1.25" spacers

Ignore how gross my car is. it has been raining and I have been working for a week straight.

Aggressive fitment? I think so
Roll and pull required? I think so
Stretched tires? I think so

any ideas on what size tire to run. I don't want to do a stupid huge pull. I want it to still flow some with the cars body lines.

I am also worried about if I stretch the back and not the front tires if the car will sit lower in the back than in the front

you will not need to pull at all, just a roll
just run a stretched tire and some camber and it will be completely fine

Some input please

Front 18 x 8.0 *offset options* +25 +30 +35 +42 +48
Rear 18 x 9.0 *offset options* +30 +35 +45 +48 +50

Thinking +25 front & +30 Rear based off TT wheels?

Im on coilovers, low, currently on tt wheels 235/40 frnts & 255/40 rear. Would like 265/275 rear
Side pics of any of these above width/offsets appreciated.

Wow. I've never seen Starion rims on a SC. That is pretty wild. Personally, I like the stock 95' rims and even the Supra Rims that I've seen. I've also seen some of the later LS rims on a SC. There are some creative combos out there.

i dont know.. maybe 235`s in the rear will be pretty good for a strech.. my brother had some sportmaxx wheels a 9.5 in the rear and got a decent strech from a 245.. also from looking at your wheels in ur car on jackstands.. it looks like its going to come out nice!! .. the wheels will push in a little more once you put tires on them and drop the car..
