18x9 + 20. And. 18x10 +20

just confirming on a lowered stance coil these will fit with a slight stretch and slight roll.

18x9.5 +12mm offset front and rear. Will I need to roll and or pull my fenders if I run a 225/35/18 size tire all the way around?

Why do you want to run a 225/35/18? You will basically have no sidewall. Those wheel's aren't aggressive enough to require a tire that small. Run a 235/40/18 all around and just roll the fenders. Rolling the fender's isn't hard or that big of a deal. If you pay someone it's not expensive at all.

Default Offset /size Question

I want to buy new RIMS that have 42 offset. Can I run 245/40/18 tires without any issues? Everything is stock.

Any help would be appreciated!

I'm stuck on tire size my wheels are 18x8.5 and 18x9.5 with a 35 mm offset all the way around, at first I was going to go with 225/40/18 in the fronts and 245/40/18 in the rear, but after thinking I would like to do 245/40/18 in the fronts and 275/40/18 in the rear. I plan on dropping the car after I put the wheels on and rolling the fenders if I have too, just need help on the tire size.

245/40-18 in the front is perfect, then run 275/35-18 in the rear... might need to roll the rear fenders a tad in the rear or run a little negative camber... you don't want 275/40 - it's too large of diameter...

I am thinking to put an 18x8+40 front 18x9.5+40 rear "Petrol Throttle" on my SC4? I am quite sure it will fit without any fender rolling if I use 225/45 front & 245/40 rear.The only problem is I got a supra bbk, will that be a issue? helps are appreciated. Thanks

Going with a new set of wheels here shortly.
18x8.5 with a +30 with 245/40/18
18x9.5 with a +38 then a 7mm hub centric spacer with 275/35/18
Sitting on Buddy Club Race Spec coilovers and car will sit with roughly
3/4in of fender to tire gap.
If possible might run 11.5mm hub centric spacers in rear if it allows.

Will these wheels work on my 2000 sc300? Will it look good or will it be tucked to much? Any help is very much appreciated.
