I totally forgot about this thread, sorry. But I'm thinking of getting:

19x10 13+ and 19x11 9+

Do you guys have any pictures of setups close to that?
Did you look through this thread yet?

I've read through the first page quite a few times, I don't keep up with this thread. I know how offset works, I just want some examples of a setup like that. You never know how it's gonna look until you try and I wanna see pictures of people who have tried it.

Default Rims

CL Member Name: Lexforme
Rim Brand and Type: Fittipaldi (made by Enkei)
Rim Size f/r: F: 18x8.5 R: 18x8.5
Rim Offset f/r: F:+38 R:+38
Tire Size f/r: F: 245/35R: 245/35R
Suspension Setup: Stock
Comment On Ride: Slightly noisier than stock. Ride feels about the same.
Fender Modifications: None
Any other comments: Clears the BBK LS400 setup by about 10mm. I could only find one other car with this same set of rims and I am very pleased with how they fit. For $400 with good tires I can't complain!

So it's finally getting to the point where I need wheels. I'm looking at 18x9 fronts with +30, and 18x10 rears with +22 offset. The tire package that's optional comes with 275/35/18's in front and 285/35/18 in the rear. Is this too much tire for a clean, fitted look? My rear fenders are rolled and I'm on gixxer_drew coilovers. I came from muscle cars and I'm not interested in stretched tires, but I don't want too much bulge either. What sizes would you all suggest here?

Too much, that's chunky, especially up front. If you want a nice tire size that isn't stretched (or barely stretched) try 235 up front and 275 in the rear

Okay, cool. Thanks. 235 what? Thinking /45 but I'm not sure how short that would be.

Front roll and mild pull; should be easy. However - Rears would stick out around 2.5" farther than stock fender - you're probably looking at stupid camber setup (which is, stupid) or fender flare territory there.

The fronts are easy. Rear would need a nice pull (1.5"~) with a stretched tire.

Does anyone know if the below will fit an SC300:

http://www.tsw.com/alloy_wheels_cadwell.php

TSW Cadwell Rims:

Rim - 18x8 +40 for front (Front guards left untouched)
Tyre - 235/18/40

Rim - 18x9.5 +20 for rear (Rear guards have been rolled)
Tyre - 275/18/35

Running TEIN Superstreet Suspension, will adjust camber if needed after fitment.

I guess one of my concerns is caliper clearence.

Well if a 10.5 +20 needs a roll and a pull, then a +15 will need more roll and more pull

Hey guys i have a question.. I was recently informed that Work will be releasing a 19 inch variation of their CR-Ultimate wheels and that's what i'm planning on getting. I know the 9.5 on the front will work easy, and i want to get either the 10.5 or 11 on the rear, but don't know what offset i should use.. I'm going to be getting a pretty good deal on the wheels, but have to know the sizes before i can order. Any ideas on what offsets to use to allow an aggressive fitment? I plan on rolling the fenders and applying slight negative camber, but would rather not pull the fenders.... although sexiness does come with a cost. lol

I've attached the poster for the wheels that includes the fitment chart.
