alright, so there are way too many posts in here to go through one by one and search is useless with 10 results...but i need some help. just picked up a set of xxr 521's 18x8.5 +25 and im not sure what tire size would be good and if ill need to roll fenders. not going for a crazy look. and im not slamming the car.
ive seen a lot of people use 225/40/18 but i dont think the tires would be beefy enough for me

Just need a little advise here guys. Getting some parts together and just can't decide on wheel offsets etc. i am lowering about 2 inches, right now i have no fender mods on a completely stock 96 sc400. I think i can find someone to roll my fenders properly if need be but anywho, the wheels I'm looking at are 18x8.5 with offset options of +25 to 38 or +45 for the front and 18x9 with offset options of +30 to 42 or =50 for the rear. My question is what would be a good offset to have a usable but slightly aggressive fitment? What would be my options for rolled and non rolled fenders? Any help is greatly appreciated

I tried searching but with the crazy amounts of posts in this I couldn't find what I'm looking for. Trying to figure out how wide I can go with a ridge kit on the rear wheel and tire combo. Right now it has 18x10.5 275 tire on it. Trying to see if I can go safely with. 12.5 or 13 and if so what size tire I can fit.
Thanks

Im lowered to one finger gap and i want to get bigger spacers to have the slightest bit of poke. With my camber to neg2, will i be safe with an offset of +15 in the rear?
My rear is 9.5wide with 215 wide tires so its a mild stretxh already and im not slammed so im hoping i wont rub without a roll.

you are deferentially going to need to pull the rears to fit, iv seen someone run a 11 with around a +25 with a 275 tire and a pull. you can fit up to a 11.5 wide rim in the rear without having any back spacing issues without having to run very aggressive offsets.

Ok. I'm picking up a set of xxr526 for my sc. The wheels are 18x 9 front and rear. Offset is +35 Can I go with 245 40 18 in front. And either 275 35 or 285 35 in rear . My car is dd and want no rubbing issues etc. the car is lowered on springs n shocks and th rear fenders are rolled. . Thanks
Should I try to get a wider rear rim like 10 or 10.5. Or will the 9' work front and rear.

Hey Guys I need some advice on wheel spacers to get these wheels looking better on my SC.
Currently it's 19x8 +30 all around. With 245/40/19 General G-max all around.
I'm contemplating 19x9.5 +25 for the rear, but not sure what size tire.
What spacer sizes would get this setup looking better? Personal preference but I like the way the more square tire setups look like it's setup currently and I don't personally need to have the wheels sticking outside the fenders.
I have the fenders rolled and slightly pulled all around.
