Supralative,
So you think with the 18x8.5 +30 (f) and 18x10 +25 (r) I'll have rubbing issues if I roll all fenders? Don't really wanna shave the fenders if I can get away with just rolling them. Don't really wanna stretch the tires either, but will if I need to. Also, did you remove your fender liners? Thanks for your input. My rim size choice are very similar to what you have on now.

If you roll the rear flat I dont think you will have issues, but it will be close since yours are 10in while mine are 9.5in.
Fronts will rub on turning when they get compressed hard.
I want to roll the fronts to help withe rub issue, but its very
very minimal rubbing. My liners are in tact and hopefully will stay that way. I am not a fan of stretched tires at all, as you can tell by my size choices. If you dont slam the car to the ground I think you will be ok too. A finger gap should have you well enough covered.
I went to Houston this past weekend with an EZ Up in the trunk, two folding chairs, my clothes duffle bag, my friends clothes duffle bag, another friends back of clothes and his camera back up along with 3 in the car and it was tucked, but I had no issues on the highway at all.

For the drag racing SC300 owners
SC300 on Buddy Club Race Spec Coilovers
Fronts WELD Alumastars 17x4 1.75in BS NO SPACER
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.

Im wondering what kind of stretch a 225/35 would give me on an 18x9.5" rim. Im running 245/40 right now, but Id like a little stretch just nothing crazy. What do you guys think?

That is going to depend on the look and style you are going for?
My 8.5 I run 245/40/18
My 9.5 I run 275/35/18 but want to go 285/35/18
I know your diameter is 19in but section width will be section width.
If you have issues clearing the fender lip then you will need to do the stretch the tire look...this is dependent on how low you are also.

16x8 Rotas. +10 offset. Do you guys think 225 would be sufficient for the width?
and can somebody photoshop the wheels on a sc? thanks!

Hey cl I'm planning on doing a 19x9.5 wheels in the front with a 235/35/19 tire and a 19x10.5 wheel with a 305 tire in the rear. What's a good offset to use??? I've searched and haven't seen anyone with this setup. At the moment I'm on stock suspension components except for polyurethane bushings and I plan on going with the Gixxer Drew setup in the future or Ksport coilovers. Any help at all greatly appreciated.

18X8.5 +30 F
18X10 +25 R
or should i just do
18x8.5 +30
18x8.5 +40
Do you guys think i can run that without much fender modification (just like a simple roll) i dont mind running stretched tires also.. also wondering if its possible to run as less camber (or no camber at all) + be closed to flushed or flushed
what do i need to do?
