Hey guy's I've gone thru a bunch of pages and haven't seen anyone running a +35mm offset.

The wheels I'm looking at are as follows:
18X8.5 about 2" Lip. 26.0 lbs ea
18X9.5 about 3" Lip. 25.5 lbs ea
Bolt Pattern: 5X4.5 or 5X114.3 (4.5")
Offset: +35mm

I plan on running 245/40/18 and 265/35/18

Will this require modification of the wheel wells?

EDIT: Forgot to ask- would I run into issues if I wanted to run the Supra BBK later on?

^, You'll be okay, +35 is about the norm for factory fenders on those wheel widths.
You can go up to a 275 in the rear if you wish.

As far as clearing TT Brakes, it's hard to say. Offsets do not tell if your wheels will clear the calipers or not, spoke design does.

^, Definitely going to need to roll and pull the fenders if you want a decent amount of tire touching the ground. By decent amount, I mean at least 265's in the front and 285's in the rear.

Dont get anything less then an 18 inch. you will regret it. And make sure you Stay with a Smaller Number then +35, +25 is great, +15 Start Fender pulling

alright, i've read most of the thread, i know Sheema's setup is similar on pg. 218, but i just need this answered. I have a 95' sc, i'm looking at doing xxr 526. just worried about the rear 18x10.5 +20. i know i would have to roll the fenders, but could i do a good tire stretch and not have to do a pull or adjust camber?

I have an 18 x 10.5 +15, If it was a +25 it would better. Your going to need to pull the fendors a little or have some camber or atleast a 255 35 or 245 40 to Stretch and Still have some rubber to Make contact with the road and not hit the fender lips to bad. ohh dont forget about the Secondary BULG in the rear fendor wells you will for sure notice them if fitment is as tight as +20 10.5 sounds.
