****Official Wheel & Tire Fitment Guide for SC300/SC400****
#1426
Found some nice wheels for a great price, 18x8 and 18x9 staggered with +45 offset. In looking at this thread it doesn't seem like it'll have a good fitment, and will be sunken. (On an aside I have some espelier 1ish inch drop springs yet to go on).
Will the guru's please assist me?

I have 285 rear tires at a +35 offset, and they are 3-5mm from rubbing a flushly rolled fender with just a mild drop and the camber aligned as vertical as possible with the factory alignement rods.

If you go with a +30 offset in the rear, at least get the 275 rear tires. They will fit if you roll the fender and have around -1.5* camber form a drop. If you go with 255 or 265 tires, lower the offset a little to prevent the tire from looking like it is swimming in the wheel well.

Ok guys, Heres my setup for now, I have 19x8.5 ET+25 all the way around with 255/30/19" Tires droped on esplers and stock tokico's. Front fenders did have to be rolled and rear may have fit without rolling but I rolled them anyway just to be safe and incase I go more agressive later. Front are pretty flush but the rear will probably look perfect with a 3-5mm spacer. I just wanted to get same size and offsets so I could still rotate my wheels.
Thanks Blizzy for your assist in the fener rolling I would not have been able to do it without you... Great guy and really knows his stuff...
Few tips to others planning to roll fenders. Remove all screws for trim and liner, and remove all square plastic screw holders. Also take your time and do section by section with hot fenders.
Although I had the roller for about 2 weeks I was pressed for time to actually do it and ended up doing it in cold weather by myself then I did not remove the square plastic things that holds the screw and when rolling it deformed the shape of the wheel well slightly, I tried to redo it with them off but it did not fix it. I have a 92 and the paint has held up real well but I did get cracks from rushing. So save yourselves the hassle of trying to fix it and do everything right the first time. I'll try to post some pics tonight when I get home.
