How low are you gunna go and did you roll your fenders already? I'd probably go with 235/35/19 and 265/30/19 assuming you aren't going to slam it and want some widewall on the tire still.

If you intend on dumping it and want to run a mild stretch, i'd go with 225/35/19 and 245/35/19

Cool! I am going low with some Stance Gr+ coilovers but not dumped. I still need to roll my fenders. I will go with the 235s and 265s. Thanks Vinh!

Those offsets seem relatively aggressive, and the 19" wheels will make it more difficult. I have 18x9 and 18x10 with +24 and +22 offsets, respectively. The fronts I have 245/40/18 and the rears are 265/35/18. My front tires fit perfectly flush at the fender (maybe modestly by the opinion of some here) and the rears barely poke with an ever so slightly stretched tire (275s would be normal for the width.)

I have all corners rolled and they only rub at speed over big bumps and dips. My rears have minimal camber and the fronts are pretty much factory spec.

Yeah. They are a little aggressive. Basically it is a 350z type fit. But looking at all of the extreme fitments on this thread, I should be able to make them work. I originally wanted 18s, but the wheels didn't have the correct offset and I hate the sunken look.

Yes, the fronts will fit fine. Anywhere around 225/40/18 should be good for the front.

The rears will need stretched tires, neg camber, a roll and a pull.

Somewhere along the line of 235/40/18 with about -3 or more degrees of camber and a roll/pull.

how about 16x8 +20 up front(could also go 16x9 +7) and 16x10 +4.6 in the rear. They're BBS RS's I want to build the fronts are with a 2" lip and the rears with a 3" lip. I'm planning on Supra tt with springs or Coils and a roll and pull(whatever I can get with an eastwood roller) Can it work?

For the drag racing SC300 owners
SC300 on Buddy Club Race Spec Coilovers
Fronts WELD Alumastars 17x4 2.25in BS NO SPACER this is with the SC300/NA Supra brakes If you are running larger brakes such as the SC400, Supra Turbo you will need a thick hub centric spacer to clear
26x4x17 M&H Front Runners
Rears WELD Alumastars 15x10 8in BS with 11.5mm spacer
28x10.5x15 MT ET Drag Stiffwall
I run extended studs for safety and fitment in the rear.
Rear fender lip has been cut and there is just under a 1/4in of lip left.
Inside fender fit with no hammering at all, but I went ahead and clearanced them just incase it did need it.

i've got a question. i pretty much figured the front size i want but now the rear.

im thinkin of 18x10 +12 in the back. (im lowered on mkiv turbo eibachs). theres room to go lower in the back but as it sits i have to wait for coilovers still. with that size would i need to camber out a little? my fenders are rolled right now.

Go with a 245/40/18 if you plan on going lower

Default Will 255/40/18 (f) and 275/40/18 (R) fit on SC400 with all four fenders rolled

My father's car on "stock suspension" currently has 4 MOMO 18x8.5 38mm wheels with 245/45/18 Dunlop SP Sport 9000 tires. All four of his fenders were rolled when I completely repainted his car. He loves these wheels and I wanted to get him the widest front and rear tire that I could possibly fit. With this offset do you guys feel that a 255/40/18 and 275/40/18 tires would work or should I go with the 245/40/18 and the 275/40/18 rear. Or better yet keep the two front 245/45/18 tires and just get him a rear set of 275/40/18's. I promise I have searched several times and have read numerous threads but I am unsure what width tire will optimally fit with his current 18x8.5 38mm offset MOMO wheels.
