255/35 on a 10.5 +15-20ish looks like about what I'd like on the rear from some pics I've seen so let's just say I go with the staggered setup wat should I run on a 9.5 in the front to be look equally stretched as the rear? I hope atleast a 235 ..idk why I just hate the idea of a skinny tire up front
Obviously that doesn't exist LOL
So your choices are a little to the left or a little to the right, there is no available match with a 255/35. If you had a 255/30, there's a match, but not a 35 - at least not when you do all the measurements.
So again - rear end is a 255/35-18; sidewall height is 3.51", overall diameter 25.03", section width (tread width) is about 10" (0.5" less than wheel width).
On an 18x9.5" front you can get close with a 225/40-18, which has the closest matching sidewall at 3.54" - a mere 0.03" TALLER in sidewall height. Overall diameter is 25.09", or 0.06" TALLER compared to the 255/35 rear. Both of these differences are most likely not noticeable at all, you can get that much variation just by having different air pressures in the tires. HOWEVER the 225/40-18 has an 8.86" section width - 0.64" less width than the 9.5 wheel, so the stretch will be a little more round than the 255/35 rear.
In comparison, your wish of a 235 won't match stretch to begin with since a 235 is about 9.25" section width, only 0.25" narrower than the 9.5 wheel. Remember the 255/35 is 0.5" less width compared to the 10.5" rear, so a 235 tire will be more square stretch-wise.

i have been looking through here and havent really seen anyone running the size i am looking into. i may be getting a really good deal on work meister s1 wheels. the sizing is kinda out there. they are 18x9.5 +12 (R disc)
18x11 +5 (O disc)
i know i would defiantly have to stretch but they are honestly just for shows and stuff. i defiantly know i would have to camber the rear. and my fenders are already rolled. what else would be required to make these fit. it is just a really really good deal and id hate to pass up on it!
thankyou

awesome to know they will fit upfront! did u have to pull the fronts, and what size tir are u running? and i know the rears may be pushing it ecspically with stock fenders, but do u think they would rub on anything or at least fit with more camber
thankyou!

couple questions....
what is the widest rim & tire size you can fit, on coilovers, in the front & back without fender mods?
and i'm looking at some wheels now, but will a rear 19x9.5 rim with a +55 offset work without rubbing or issues?

I would like to get a pair of rims size 18X10 +25 off set all the way around on stock suspension and stock ride height, I read +38 is the lowest we can go, so what wld I need to do in order for these to fit?

should fit just fine
Widest rims and tires are 18x10 and 18x12. See Cherplex's thread: https://www.clublexus.com/forums/sc-...tock-body.html
9.5s +55 will fit, but I'm concerned that you'll hit your springs with that high of an offset on a 9.5" rim

if you keep stock ride height, it will just look stupid. probably wont rub (in back at least) unless you hit a major dip, but it will look 4x4 status
