Curious, I ditched my want of XXR's for some MB Battles, but my main concern is fitment.
I saw this at first:
Would I be able to run the same size?
The thing is, I don't wanna run camber, but I wanna be able to tuck a little with only rolling my fenders and stretching the tires a little; no pulling.
I was also thinking about getting 18x9 +30 in the front and 18x9.5 +23 in the rear (any good tire stretches for this?). I don't really see anyone staggering their rims that little, but I feel like I'd be able to get a decent fit. I just don't want my rims to look sunken in my fender. If anything, I want it to barely sit inside the fender.
And on a side note, I've seen some people with weird offsets on Battles. Is there a site that offers more sizes and offsets? I'm only looking at Discount Tire Direct.

What size tires should I run if I got 18x8 et +35 and 18x9 et +38? I'm stock height for now, will lower in the future to get rid of gap. Still trying to figure out what suspension will work best for me, I'm going to swap in a 2jzgte.

Confused regarding offset.
Bare with me. I'm new to the Lexus SC world. I recently purchased a SC300. In looking at the wheel and tire fitment, and finding it somewhat confusing. Basically the SC's offset is 50. I understand that that is very drawn in, away from the fenders, certainly not a current look. However, without accounting for the difference between front and rear wheels, I see some fittings that are an offset of 24 and others that are 38. Both look well fit to me. There really is a difference between the two measurements. What am I missing?
