This thread is like reading the phone book. But here goes anyway.
Maya STM Multi piece wheels, Black with Diamond cut face & polished lip

19x9 offset 35 front 2.5" lip
19x10 offset 23 rear 4" lip

All fenders shaved. Rears are going to need a bit of a pull.
Not done with fronts because the wheels wont clear Brembos. I got some 10mm spacers hopefully that will do the trick. I ordered some 60mm studs to replace the stock 50mm. Just waiting on the studs. Ill update this post with pics of the whole car when its done next week.

Looking for some advice on the body fitment with these wheels I am picking up here are the specs:
Fornts are 19x8.5 + 40 2" lip 245/40/19
Rears ar 19x10 + 40 3.5" lip 275/30/19

My car is lowered on KYB-GR2 shocks with Espelir ASD springs.......... Question is will I need to roll or pull my fenders with this fitment ? I havent test fitted them yet bcuz I still need to pick them up from the seller

Default anyone with blitz 03's on their SC? Here Mine!!!

front: rim size 18x8; offset +45
rear: rim size 18x10; offset +45

I did test fit the wheels, but i dont have suspension or tires yet so i cant really tell if the fronts need spacing or not. I know that the rears need to come out a little.. but main concern is how much do the fronts need to come out to be flush?


i was thinking the 18x8 were a little weak, but i couldnt pass up the deal!!

Thanks for looking people.

^, offset is key. A lot of the cars you see running around are running low/aggressive offsets, leaving a relatively lower backspace. So ideally, if you want the widest wheel you would have to maximize front space as well as back space.

11, 12 and 13 inch widths have been run on these cars with minor body work such as rolling and cutting. 315's would not be a problem as long as you utilize the correct offset on your wheel.

If it's strictly for traction rather than looks, you're going to wrong route. To maximize traction, I would suggest looking into a drag package.

I'm trying to think how can I fit a 20x11 with a +25offset. Not looking to get too much cambering and tire stretching cause I'll be doing 500-600hp. What tire size should I run? I will be pulling my fenders a bit more and cutting the inners also.

As far as 20x11 goes and your hp goals, you should look at offsets in the +30 range. You can fit a 275/285 in the rear with fender rolling.

EDIT: Take a look at this...

This is LRD's car, he has a 20x12 +42 in the rear. If you get a 20x11 +25, the wheel will extend +4mm more than the 20x12's. So you should be ok.

LRD was actually running 20x12+55 with that setup if I remember right.

I have thought of that but his offsets are like for a porsche, I'm not trying to do crazy body work either. I'm using Teelex more as a reference since he has a 11" +37.

You can't use Teelex as a reference since you're not looking to do any body work. Terry's quarters are pulled to achieve that wheel fitment. 20 X11 in the rear with anything around the 42, 44 offset range and you'll be good to go with just cutting or rolling the inner lip on your quarters..

^, +1.

I did a lot of calculations on rim offsets and widths and came up with this identical spec with cut fenders. 11" width with low 40 offsets will fit behind an aggressively cut fender.

I dont get exactly the quarter panel pulled out cause I've never seen it done. I might just do that since I'll be getting my car repainted soon.
