From my POV they will work. I have a +22 offset on the front and I am running a 245/35. My car is not lowered at the present and on hard cornering they do rub, but I have not pulled or rolled the fenders on the front. On the back I have rolled the fenders and with a slight pull the 275/35's do not rub anymore, but like I said I have not lowered it yet. BTW they are a +22 offset in the rear as well.

18x9 +44 offset all around. With 235 tires. Front sounds alright the rear will need spacers I think. Any comments on this setup. They are SSR coming off a vr4.

Really high offsets. Front and rear will both need big spacers for sure.

Hello,
I was just wondering if i will be able to fit a 19x9.5 +40 in my front with rolled fenders and lowered on coils. If so any suggestions on tire size i should be running for daily driving, i was thinking 235/35/19 or 245/35/19. thinking about a slight stretch if possible nothing too crazy of a stretch. Thanks.

I'm planning on buying a sc400 soon(I've always wanted one) and I just cant help but think about the modifications I want to do when I get it, maybe jumping the gun! ....Anyways I found some 20x8 and 20x10.5 wheels that I want to buy for it when I do get it, the ones I found have a +44 offset and I was wondering if this would fit, I figured I would have to roll the fenders regardless....also what size tires would fit the 10.5 without stretching?....Thanks!

265/40/20 for a 10.5 rim. My buddy is running them and they aren't stretching. And he is running 245/35/20 on from 20x9.

Didn't think it could get any better than your last setup, but this one is going to be sick. Can't wait to see pics of it with tires mounted. I love your car, lol.

Plus, you don't want weak offsets on a car with that kind of power anyways right? : ]
Alright
I am still undecided as of now.
I lowered the car yesterday and the wheels sit in abit now...just some old 16x7.5 Kosei's with 225/55/16 on them at 38offset.
I am gonna put the Enkei RPF1's back on in the rear and see how it looks and make a choice from there.

thanks mang!!!

Nice. Post pics when you do. Seems like this thread needs some pictures. I'll post up some once the new rims come on this friday.

Anyone?

I was also thinking of going with a 225/40 in the front and 245/40 in the rear? Also, if anyone can recommend camber specs I should run with this fitment? Will I have to go close to -3 camber all around?
