Anyone run 18x9 +45 offset all around? I'm think 245/40 for fronts and 255/40 for the rears w/ a 10mm spacer in rear.

You're still gonna need a spacer in the front. 9's are gonna look pretty small in the back but to each his own..

5mm spacer in the front? I picked up the wheels for a good price from a friend so 9's all around is fine for me.

Rims Work 18x9.5 +25 Front / 18x10.5 +22 Rear , What tire set up would be best ,F 225/40 R 245/35
or F 225/35 R 245/35 ??

Will be doing a flat roll fenders and maybe a pull if need.


Thanks

Hmm... 8" +45's (OEM IS350) are pretty close to rubbing inside as is, you may or may not ned that spacer up front just to clear the shock. They'll fit, but your car will probably look like it has one of those "from the dealer" stock upgrades.

By the way, this may sound blunt but don't trick yourself into believing that a "good price from a friend" justifies bad fitment.

225/245 will be stretched fine up front, more stretched in the rear - plus the 245 rear sidewall will be thinner than the front 225 sidewall on those wheel widths, making your front tires actually look bigger than the rear tires. Some people are ok with that, personally I think it looks like a forklift Big RWD coupes should have larger rears than fronts IMO

Yeah, I kind of figured it probably will look funky. They are OZ Racing F1 Cup wheels. I got them with a not so great paint job, so I'm polishing the lips and painting the rest silver with a clear coat. I just felt bad saying no to him too. Haha. Oh well. Pics when finished in a week or so.

Does anyone have the following:

Front: 18x9.5
Rear: 18x11

If so, what tires and offset. I don't want the wheels to stick out at all and look flush with the body. I had 10.5 with 315s in the back before and they were fine since my fenders are rolled.

This car is running 18x10 and 18x12. 255/40 and 315/30.You would have to ask him for offsets though.

Default Sc300 wheel fitment?

Sup Noob here. Looking to buy some rim. Looking for that flushed look and I dont mind fender mod. Here's the fitment Im thinking about and will it flush? I also like the vip look also, so I have a fitment for 20's and can anyone tell me how it might work out.
19x8.5 F+37
19x10.0 R+35
225/35/19
255/35/19
&
20x8.5 F+37
20x10.0 R+35
225/35/20
255/35/20
With car being lowered to within 1'' above the lip of the rim and will it still rub with fenders roll. Id highly appreciated the insight.

Please read the other posts in this thread dude. For the 19" fitment you're asking about there's a lot of info in this thread already.

I think I should be fine with the 19". But what really need is insight about the 20". Not much talk on this.
