I am thinking to put a 18" Petrol Throttle on my SC4, but I don't know how to choose the offset for the front and rear so that I can have a deeper lips at the back.

Are there anyone using this rim or know the setting? Also do I have to roll with this setting? It would be great if someone can give me some info. Thanks

you are definitely going to need to roll your fenders and run a very mild stretch. 225/45/18 and 245/40/18 should be fine.

VERY VERY AGGRESSIVE FITMENT HERE!
18x10 fronts, 18x11 rears. Tires setup im going with is 265/35/18 fronts and 295-315/30/18 rears. My car is also lowered on TIEN's. Is this to crazy of a setup? I know I will have roll, pull, or even cut the fenders?
These wheels are supra fitment. And are perfectly flush with the supra I purchased the wheels from. Im needing this tire setup as im needing as much rubber as I can get. "Im boosted". This would totally help me a ton! Thanks again guys! I will donate 5 dollars to Haiti relief fund if you help me too! PROMISE!

i'd run 225-235 on the 10s, depending on how low the car is. i have 245/40 on 10s and they dont even look stretched. when i can, i'm swapping them for 225/40s

It will work, thats my set up w/ 315's out back. Flat roll w/ a light pull
in rear, NO camber. I would test fit before the pull. I'm old, I mean old
school & like a lil tuck on my tires. 'Standard Supra' drop AGX w/ Eibach's,
HRE's spec Supra offsets.........12 1/2" of tire a lot of meat.

I need advice on tire size...

I don't have coilovers, so I can't lower my car to get rid of wheel gap. My car is on Espelir springs

Here are pics of my previous setup
17x9.5 +15
235/45/17
255/40/17





The new setup will be 18x9.5 +15. I was thinking of going with 225/40 and 245/40, but will these sizes leave noticeable wheel gap? I want to minimize wheel gap as much as I can, since my car is on Espelir springs.

^Check out this tire calculator: http://www.wheelsmaster.com/rt_specs.jsp

245/40/18 is .7" taller than 255/40/17

So as not to post miss information & reply to your PM

HRE Supra offsets are apparently weak - could never find the
offset #'s on the rims. I'm running 315/30R18 Choke your mama
Advan Sports in the rear. The sidewall is rounded which helps w/
fender pulling. If you are going to run a Drag radial w/ flat sidewall
you will need a pull w/ a flat inner lip roll.

I get the Hella Flush thing for the offsets, but never got the reason
for tire strech. 1 PA pothole & your rims would be junk.

Thanks again Supra Doc! Yea never got that idea of super stretch either.

Maybe someone can help me. Would i need to roll or pull fenders for these sizes and offsets? 18x9+35 18x10+43. I have a 97 SC300, not lowered yet but will be going with eibach pro kit for the supra and koni shocks.

you'll need to roll em. plus, it wouldn't hurt esp if you decide to lower your car even more or go with more aggressive wheels later on.

IMO, roll the front and shave the rear. the rear lips are very thick, so when you get em rolled it might make the fenders wavy.
