Ok I need some help... I am looking at a set of MRR GT1
18x8.5 offset 35 Front
18x9.5 offset 45 Rear
I was thinking about 275/35 rear and 245/40 front I am on stock suspension and really like the look of TT6SPDSC (pic below)
Is my setup going to fit like that?
Thanks

Need some opinion on tire size and possible spacers. Car is just lowered on Supra turbo eibachs and AGX shocks. so decent drop, nothin crazy.

wheels im lookin at right now are very conservative. With the way things are i don't have as much money to play with so these are just in my price range.


Work Eurolines
18x8 +38
18x9 +38

like i said i'm not lookin for anything too crazy but just wanted an opinion on tire size for these wheels and possibly spacers.

OK finally a test fit lowered.
Wheel are 18x10 Enkei RPF1's with a 38offset. Added on a 5mm spacer to get 32offset.
For my likes and usage I think I am going to set my rear wheels that are 18x9.5 with a 45offset with a 10mm spacer to get 35offset. Going with a 15mm spacer would be too much for my liking. I plan on dropping the rear about another 1/4in and thats it.
The Enkei wheel itself is just past the body line at this height. I know it will go in abit once lowered again but this tire is being stretched too much for my liking already. Its a 265/35/18 and I will be runninng a 275/35/18 on a 9.5in rim so it will square up alot more.
Fender will still need to be cut so when the car squats no rubbing issue.

I can get you better pics, but the fronts wont be anywhere close to the correct offset.
My friend has 18x9.5's up front with a 15offset and they dont look good at all on my SC300.
If you want some better rear shots email and tell me what you are looking for.

if you are going to stretch, then go the lower offsets...

if it were my car, I'd do the high offsets and put a nice fat tire on there... probably run a 245/30-19 on the front and a 285/30-19 on the rear... toss those sizes out the window if you want the lower offsets, you'd have to stretch probably a 225/235 on the front, and a 255 on the rear

Just for reference, check out JDMes's car. (The white one) 18x9.5 +16 18x10.5 +16. He doesn't mention anything about pulling.

They won't work. The LS460 has a 5x120 bolt pattern iirc.
