My guy at the auto shop did not like the Ace Alloy wheel choice... He did not elaborate.
So now, my front runner is the Lumarai Morro in an 18x8 in chrome. The offset is a +37. (I went back and forth with the 19 inch version, too, but not sure I want to invest that much with the long list of other items yet to go.)
I jumped around a few tire sizes (a 40 is recommended) and but ended up wanting to use Falken FK-453 245x40x18. (And yes, I calculated the 2% impact on the speedo..)
Based on feed back from my other questions I believe the above choice is okay but wanted final comments before pulling the trigger. The SC300 is a '92 with stock suspension (so far).
Jadu and others have been quite helpful guiding me and the peace of mind before laying down the cash is reassuring. Thanks to all.....

So I've been thinking about getting Origin 25mm fenders lately. I currently have 18"x9.5"+12 and 18"x10.5"+15.
This is what I'd like to do.
I want to put the rear 10.5"s up front, and purchase two more wheels for the back.
This is the crazy part, I want 19"x10.5"+15 in the rear with the 18"s up front. This will give it a better rake look and fill up the rear wheel well.
What does everyone think? I've seen it done before on RX7's, which have smaller wheels up front and larger diameter wheels in the rear. Will the 18"x10.5" +15 with 25mm Origin fenders fit ok, clear BBK's, etc?

^^^ The 18x10.5s with the origin fenders will fit just fine. It wont be hellaflush nor sunk. Depending on how low you are and camber, the edge of the rim will be a little over 1cm away from the edge of the origin fender. That should be fine because you cant roll those 
As for clearing BBK, it should have plenty of space between the hub and spoke, but Im not 100% sure.
18/19 setup is a rare combination, but a good one at that. The rear wheel well were made for 19s. I'd say go for it

Been through all 325 pages. Close but no definitive answer. Someone please chime in. 19x8 and 19x9 +40 offset??? No lip on these wheels. Stock height and suspension....for now. If they look sunk, in how would I get them flush? BTW, I've got to make THESE wheels work. Only size in this style. TIA

Put some more thought into my setup.
Currently it's 19x8 +30 all around. With 245/40/19 General G-max all around. It looks funny cos the tire is too chunky.
I've found a pair of 19x9.5 +25 for the rear. Then swap the 245/40/19's on these wheels. It would have a slight strech right?
My question is what size tires should I get for the front on the 19x8 on the front?
My choices are: 225/35 , 225/40 , 225/45 , 235/35 , 245/35
If none of these choices are ideal.. What is ideal?
I struggle with this from lack of experiences with seeing many different size tires on many different size rims in person... The wheel tire calcs dont factor in strech.
I have the fenders rolled and slightly pulled all around.
I'm trying to get a nice conservative flush look.
