I'm overwhelmed by the pages. I just want to ask if a Supra TT 17" wheel will fit a 255 up front. I'd like to go 255 all around instead of 245/275. I'm not dropped, stock height.
Or should I play it safe with 245 all around?
Thank you,
Edit I believe I found an answer here, but can anyone else chime in just to be safe?

255/40/17 all around yay or 255/45/17 all around? Or 245? Stock height.

Local importer just got these in...
I've searched several threads, can't seem to find a definitive answer.
I'm not slammed, lowered 1.5"-2" on TOMS coils..
Since I'm not slammed, I'm looking for a "everyday driver fit", living in the midwest roads here are not the best.
I know they will fit...but will these look okay not being slammed, no poke?
FRONT 18/8 OFF +26 (215 35 18 ) 1.5" LIP
REAR 18/8.5 OFF +14 ( 245 35 18 ) 2.5" LIP
Seems like Skyline fitment, but I'm just a rookie so please bear with me.
I came from an IS300 so I'm used to higher offsets.
Thanks for the help..

Oh, not sure then. Sorry
Those will clear for sure with no poke if I'm not mistaken. Relatively flush.

Just ordered a set of wheels, curious as to what tire sizes you guys think would work best. My front fenders are rolled already and I have the rear lips cut out of the quarters. Probably going to do a bit more fender work on the rear.. Fairly low already on Fortune Auto coils, plan to go lower with PBM.
Wheels are 19x10+22F
19x10.5+6R
Thanks!
Thanks!

Hey guys, I'm thinking of getting the XXR 526 18x9 and 18x10.5 with an offset of either +20 or +30. I really wanna do the +20 but I don't know if I'll get clearance. Also, I wanna run a stretch on my tires but I'm no good a picking tire sizes. Any recommendations? Something low profile with at least 3mm of stretch.
P.s. I'm about 3-4 inches lowered & tucking as of right now. And I'm definitely gunna be rolling & most likely pulling my fenders.

Quick questions. Im thinking about pulling the trigger on these wheels but just have a few questions. Their 18x9.5 +25 all around. Im sure they will fit but would I have to pull the fenders? and also what size tire should I run. I would like to run a semi stretch tire but nothing crazy!

Hello there. I recently acquired a 95 SC and I need a little help here. (I'm hoping someone hasn't asked this already but my search isn't generating anything of note.)
I'm looking to go with Helo 834
http://www.treaddepot.com/wheelsizes/h834b.html
18x8.5 35 or 42 offset in front
18x10 35 offset in the rear
I'm not looking to roll fenders and would like stay close to OEM ride height. Where I'm getting really confused here is I would like to upgrade brakes and improve handling.
I love the "flush" to the slightest of hint of tucked but nothing "sunken" and not going with tires stretched.
Overall, money is an issue so I really want to do it and not have to reverse engineer because I haven't considered everything before jumping in.
Thanks so much for this forum and for obliging the excited SC-Mod newbie. I'm looking forward to making the vision come true with my new toy and appreciate any assistance you guys might offer.

You may have already saw, but here is a member with similiar setups (2mm difference in offset front and rear. 0.5" inch difference in the fronts, no fender mods) just to give you an idea before jumping in:
CL Member Name: guessd
Rim Brand and Type: SSR/SSW D5R
Rim Size f/r: 18x9 F 18x10 R
Rim Offset f/r: +37 for front and rear
Tire Size f/r: 245/40/18 Front 285/35/18 Rear
Suspension Setup: Tein HR's
Comment On Ride: Perfectly fine. Comfortable and handles great.
Fender Modifications: None needed. The rear will go another 1/16 inch down and the front can go another 1/8 inch. The rear driver's side seems to be rubbing ONLY over really hard highway bumps, otherwise, it is fine.
Any other comments: The coilovers are maxed, I might have to get softer springs that will initially lower the vehicle more.
