Need help with the new set up please , just got the mesh wheel by weds 18x9.5 +47 an 1.5 lip size. then changed the lip to 3.5" so now is 18x11.5 +47 ( same offset since I changed only the lip not the inner barrel )
1. Will it fit on rear of SC 400 with stock camber ? Got the TEIN coilover n fender are rolled
2. 265/35/18 will this size be okay with those lip size?
Thank you in advance
Here is some pix, getting idea how it look like

^ you did change the offset by putting a different outer barrel on the wheel. Yes the wheel wont move closer or further away from the body it self but offset is where the actual face in reference to the center of the barrel. So your face before was 47mm front the center towards the outside of the car now your face will be sunk 3" towards the inside of the car. So to answer your question no 11.5 -3 will not fit a stock body Sc not even close your rim will stick out about an inch past the qtr panel.

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?

Greetings,
I have a set of WORK VS-ZF. Sizes are:
255/35/ZR18 8.5 (?)
285/35/ZR18 9.5 (+45)
I am currently stock (but drooping in rear) height. I have not rubbed at all yet.
I am going to re-lip the Works over the winter, but I will run spacers until then.
I just ordered 38mm bolt on, hub-centric spacers.
I will add coilovers for a moderate, tasteful drop in one month or less.
These pictures are how it sits now, before spacers and drop.
What should I expect when I put the spacers on? I am prepared for roll/shave whatever is best.
How should I expect the fit to be? Stock and dropped.
Thanks in advance !!!

You will have 38mm more poke! Take a ruler to your wheel to help you visualize
that's what I did when I did my calculations for relipping just before I ordered my lips
