Here is my set up,
Rears are 18x12.5 -6 i think
Fronts are 18x10.5 i forget... like +12 or something like that

265/35 tire on the rear 225/40 tire on the front.

Big pull in the rear, I also cut it out. Fronts I have not touched. At all, not even a roll.

Hi, guys

I'm overwhelmed by the pages. I just want to ask how to have "flush look" with 19" wheels on my 2000 SC400? What size of additional adapters needed? I am not dropped. Stock height. Should I need to do fender rolls?

19x8.5 Front with 245/40zr/19 tires
19x9.5 Rear with 275/35zr/19 tires
Offset: 38 Front / 40 Rear
Hubcentric: 60.1

Thank you

Pulled the trigger. XXR 521 18X8.5 and 18x10. I so wanted the wide in the rear look. I had not planned to roll the rears but some see how I can get around it. Looking at 245-40-18 in front and 265-35-18 in rear. I had a modder mechanic tell me he wouldn't go below a 285 on the 10" and would prob go into the 300s. I guess I just can't visualize anything that big even beginning to fit without cutting metal.

Really leaning on you guys here.

OEM ride height but will drop a bit to get spacing right and tighten the handling a bit...nothing too aggressive.

As for tire specs...any advice will be helpful. All season. Brands I know gets really subjective so not so concerned unless it's a "stay away from this brand."

Thanks in advance

This.

Anyone could read just 1 page and from the pictures/examples/explanations you would have a good idea of what would fit. Not to mention Googling the words ffset, stance, flush, fitment etc etc...

To just hop on here and say "hey, my cars red, I want hellaflush, thanks", isn't going to ever get answered...

Awesome choice, what color did you go with? I don't think you'll need much if any front fender modding, I'd roll to be safe, the rear you will definitely need to roll, possibly pull but depends on how aggressive you're going with camber.

Front tires I would say 235/40/18 and 265/35/18 on the rear, IMHO.

Good vibes...and thanks for the confirmation. I'm checking out some vids on rolling. Like most of anything, I have to get the process solid before I start mucking around with stuff.

As for color, I went with the Hyper Silver...figured I would go pretty classic but go rad (for me) with the "meat"

I have the same wheels and widths. I'm running a 225/40 and 275/35 on mine. I'm lowered on HKS Hypermax dampers.The car is sitting RIGHT ABOVE the tire. Hardly any room in the rear. My rears are rolled flat, and I've got just a tiny bit of camber.

Default Meister S1 3p Fitment - with Supra brakes

Hi all,

Want to get a set of 19" Meister S1 3P for my sc300.
Tried contacting a few members that have them but wasn't successful

I want 19x9 or 19x9.5 front and 19x10.5 rear.
Will the following work - with shaving the fender lips:

Fr - 19x9.5 +24 - R disk - 245/35/19
Rr - 19x10.5 +24 - R disk - 265/35/19

Any input appreciated.

Thanks.

I think that was me =X sorry, PM notification was turned off.... anyhoo:

That's pretty close to what I had before... please see https://www.clublexus.com/forums/7511199-post4444.html and for some pics https://www.clublexus.com/forums/6928572-post3817.html

Although in your PM you asked about BBK... so that changes things because you don't just look at offset, you have to look at disk type also, which varies between wheel brands and models.
