I have seen so many pages on wheels now the past weeks and my brain is melting of it
flame me but i'm trying to find a good setup
the thing is i can't find the wheels i like over here in Holland and i want to order them in the US or the UK which have to be right because of the shipping cost i can't return them
so far i have learned ; 18 inch with BC (br-rs) coilovers will give you good handling with that extra bit of comfort compare to 19 inch
so i have a fender roller and i want to get a flush look with rims who has a lip , is 18" 8.5 j in front and 18" 9.5 j in the back a good setup and what will be the right offset then ?
or go 8.5 and use spacers to to trim the back wheels ? which i don't prefer
i don;t want stretched tires the tires need to be the same width
like this
tires : 265/40 in the rear and 245/40 in the front ?
i don't want negative camber , that is really a no go in Europe
thanks in advance

^^ u should be able to fit a 255/35 on a 9.5, cuz I have a 255/35 on a 10 and its a slight stretch. U can also run a 225/40 in the front and it will fit just fine with no stretch at all. Also, to get a nice fitment on the front u will need an offset of at least a +15 since u don't want to use spacers. I have an 8.5 in the front with a +25 offset and it's still a little sunk. For the rear, the +20 should sit pretty flush if not real close. Hope that helps

i only want to use spacers to trim the wheel to a nice setup , i can't make them smaller when i have them , but i can make them wider with spacers if really necessary
the one thing i don't want to do is pull the fenders
thanks for your help
any help is appreciated

What kind of width and offset do I need to clear the z06 brakes up front and supra tt in the rears? Right now I have 20x8.5 +38 F and 20x10 +40 R and they barely clear. Every time I try and find a setup that's more aggressive and double check with wheel offset calculator the setup is too aggressive poking out or I lose inner clearance which would require me to use a spacer which I don't wanna do. Tried that with this setup and never felt safe.
I want a 20" setup that's flush, maybe with a little even rim poke.
Here's how it looks now. Pretty low with about -2.5°f & -2°r camber.

A few weeks ago I went from 275/35/20 to 275/30/20 and I'm starting to get a lot of road noise. Is this normal for that low of tire? Or should I get under there and look for something specific?
