Staggered wheels are when the front wheels are thicker lets say an 18x85 and the rear is a 18x 9.5 . Im running a 275/35/19 and i rubbed but after i rolled my rear fenders everything is perfect. I'm running the Tien CS off a supra All the way down. You shouldnt have much trouble its 18's

I run a 9.5" wheel with 275's, but have a lower offset - +35mm it rubbed when I first installed, but rolled the fender and added a little negative camber and all is well... yours with higher offset, you might not need to do anything at all...

Hey could anyone tell me how 18x9 +20 and 18x10.5 +10 would sit in SC300 guards? Would the guards need to be flared or lipped at all? Also now much would they stick in or out of the car? Thanks

I am new with my sc300 and I got a set of used 18x8 Moda rims. Keeping in mind my car is stock hieght two rims came with tires size 245/45/18 and the other two cam with 245/40/18 is that going to fit right all the way around? It seems everyone is useing 35 for the back and this concerns me.

how about this? I have a chance to pick up some new 19's real good price but im not sure the offsets will look good. Its not a very agressive offset but how could I make it look good? run spacers all the way around? what would be the best setup tires and all for these wheels on an sc? or should I pass them up?
anyone have a pic of an sc running a similar setup?
19x10 +45 rear
19x9 +35 front
I have 1 set of 25mm spacers in the front right now on my 18's I can use.

Please suggest tire sizes for these two options:
19x8.5 +20
19x10 +19
or
19x10+19 all around
I dont mind rolling and some camber. Would prefer to stay away from fender pulling.
