Hey guys need opinions on a set of rims I'm close to pulling the trigger on..
18x8.5 +45, approx 2" lip w/215-40-18
18x9.5 +45, approx 2.5" lip w/235-40-18
I dont want any rubbing issues and definitely dont want to roll/cut my fenders, and I do have coilovers which I can adjust the height. I just want a clean flush(ish) look.
From my research these should be almost perfect, but since I dont have any first hand experience with figuring out the right combo of tire/offset/height I just wanted a second opinion. Pictures would help if anyone happens to have any as well. Thanks!

I'm running VS-XX, 8.5/+28 front and 10/+39 rear. 235/40 & 265/35. R disk up front clear Supra TT calipers easily. No fender mods, no rubbing. But I'm on stock suspension and that's going to change. Perfect amount of stretch on the tires (for my taste) and really flush for a first try. I'm happy.

19x8 +30
Opinions appreciated...I'm not looking for hella flush or anything extreme
Found a set of 19x8 +30 local for a good price.
Will these be too sunken in? if so what size spacers would be recommended?
Mild drop on Toms coilovers. Daily driven car.
I've searched but could not find any pics of the same set up,
thanks in advance

I am going to be buying used wheels and tires
18x7.5 all around +42 offset 215/45/r18 all around. Knowing it wont sit flush, what size of spacers should i be putting on to make it look flush? I am on stock suspension but i am installing coilovers soon as well.
Thanks in advance!

This is 295/30/18 on Eibach/Tokico, as you can see there's big gap. I was thinking about getting another set of 295/45, do you guys think it will fill the gap or just going to be the same but with fatter side wall? I'm into meaty tires
