20x11 et19

What kind of tire size would you guys reccomend. fenders are rolled already. How much camber? maxed lol? Am i dreaming here?? or doable??

TIA
You shouldn't have any issues running that set up if your fenders are already rolled flat. I ran basically those same specs but in 19s. I had 19x9.5 + 12 front and 19x10.5 +19 rear and still had a little room. Also the tires were 225/35 front and 265/30 rear. I have 18x11 +20 rear now and it sits flush. And I think I'm at -3 camber from the drop

you are the man i gotta ask about lowering! i just got my rear fenders rolled today and they are rolled flat, just in the back. what suspension are u running in the rear? i only ask because i am running +20 on TSW snettertons.

the tire is a 255/35/19 and ur rear looks super low. how does it ride? can it take a bump?

im running at the moment supra lowering springs and they drop it about 1.8 inches in the back and its super stiff. a bit more than i'd like. just curious since u pretty much have the stance im trying to get.

I've been reading this thread for 2 weeks straight to try to get an idea of what I'm doing. I'm just start to understand offsets and widths so I just had a quick question for you wheel experts.

I have megans coils in the front and tanabe nf210 / stock struts (lowers about an inch) in the rear and I'm trying to fit these:

front: 19x8.5+25, tires are 235/35/19
rear: 19x10.5+32, tires are 265/30/19

I'm sure I definitely have to roll in the rear but will I have to shave / pull out the fenders a bit too? Also will the front clear my ls400 brakes?

Thanks everyone for your help, this is all kinda confusing. I just don't want to buy the wrong rims and kick myself in the *** afterwards.

Those will easily fit with just a roll. Not sure if the fronts will clear your brakes. Thats something you will have to test fit.

i know with my car. i have the plus 20 offset. there looks like there is so much more room that i gotta be able to fit the large calipers on the fronts. +25 should be the same. but i'd test fit

Hey guys I need some help making my new wheels fit...
A buddy of mine had some 18" BBS LM that fit pretty perfect on his SC. I bought them off him and they don't clear my LS400 brakes I've been looking at getting spacers and extended studs to make it work.
After testing a 1/4" spacer the wheel would still catch on the caliper some.

Y'all think a 12mm or 15mm would do the trick??

try adding a 3mm to see if it clears.
