Hey all can I get some advice on what offsets I should run:
Front: 19x9.5 with 255/30/19
Rear: 19x10.5or11 with 305/30/19
I will obviously be rolling / shaving the fenders (which is a better option?). Car will be lowered on coilovers with at least a 1-1.5 finger gap between tyre and fender. Do not want to run extreme camber as a I want a good contact patch.
My preliminary research suggests that +43 on the rear and +35 on the front should be ok? Any advice is appreciated

You'll be able to get away with just a roll in the front with some 225/35 tires. Rears will need to be shaved with stretched 245/35 tires and some camber. My rears are the same specs and even then the wheels rub the fender a bit (running 4 degrees of camber btw).

^ Thanks for the reply. Sounds like there will be too much fender work, and I didnt want to do any. Looks like I'm going to have to pass up on these..
Funny enough though, judging by your sig pic, I think you're running the exact wheels and sizes that I'm looking at. Can you maybe post a few pics of your car with the Type F's? Maybe it will entice me to just get them and adjust my ride height to a point where there wont be any fender mods needed

^Sure thing. Posted a couple here: https://www.clublexus.com/forums/7677374-post4583.html
Realized I don't have that many pictures of my car lol. If there's any specific angles you're looking for, I'll gladly take some shots tomorrow.

Could you show me more pictures of the front wheels? Like from the top so I can see how far the wheel sticks out as well as from the front of the car with wheels pointing straight ahead?

^ my GOD those are sexy.
Damn, maybe worth the trouble of doing fender mods afterall. I suppose I may be able to limit this by raising my ride height to accommodate, hmm..
K now how bout the price. The seller wants $1800 for just the rims, and $2200 with tires (plus shipping). Good deal? I've actually never seen these for sale before and am not sure what a fair price for them is.

^^ +1 those wheels are straight gorgeous. ScEnforcer, u have to get those. Those wheels are nice. I would suggest rolling ur fenders. I did mine by myself for the first time and I did a pretty good job. It jus takes time and patience.

not really a fan of the SSR Type-F. They look like something that would better fit and evo or wrx. For $2200 with tires plus shipping, I'd go with some nice JDM Works.
Blisiono, not dissing on your car, because its clean. Its just that i feel there are nicer wheel designs for the price. Again, just my opinion.

With a slight pull in the rear, you should be able to make them fit.
No worries dude

As much as I love these, I really dont want to start messing with the fenders and quarters of my mint 85k 1 of 905 SC. I think I'm going to pass on them and keep looking.
..Damn offset..
