Hello guys. I'm buying a new set of tires and I'm wanting to run a lower profile while sustaining daily drivability. I'm currently running a set of Nexen 245/35/20 all around on MSR 093 20x10 & 20x8.5. I believe they are 40 offset all around. Im also looking to minimize camber in the rear (because buying tires isn't cheap lol). also any guidance in spacers for a more flush appearance would be greatly appreciated. Im also lowered on a set of Tein Springs and KYB reds if thats important. Thanks in advance!
For drivability, I would keep the 245/35 in front. 245 wide tires on a 10" wheel is slightly stretched, and you may run a wider tire in the rear such as 275/30, but that wont help you on price. To extend the life of your tires, I know they're expensive, get a 4 wheel alignment. And a 10 to 15 mm spacer would be good.

I have some Cosmis MR7 18x10 +25 and BC Racing coilovers ready to slap on the SC400. Ive seen others here like CaptainDan fitting 245/40, I would like to try 255/40 or 275/35... any recommendations. Also being in socal is it realistic to get a max perf summer tire for year round or should i go for UHP all season?
Thanks CL!
Thanks CL!

Hi Sunny416.
I got the rims and tires used. It is 225 front and 245 rear. I really dont want to do any fender mod, since I like everything on the car to be OEM as much as possible (although, I may want to lower it a bit some day on some coilover).
So if these rims and tires works without any mod, that would we awesome.

Hello from England!
This is my 1JZ Toyota Soarer drift car. (please excuse the fact that it isn't painted yet)
Sorry for the crappy cell phone pictures
Lowered on HSD MonoPro Coilovers
Rears are as low as they go
Fronts are about 15mm from bottom
I have ordered adjustable rear camber and toe arms to get rid of all the camber and have the lips flush with the arches. Front camber is staying as it is.
All arches are rolled flat but still need to be pulled to fit properly.
Wheels are Work Rezax-1s with aftermarket wider dishes.
Wheel specs are:
Front - 18x10.5J ET0 (ET20 with 20mm spacer)
3.5" Lips with 235/35/18 Tyres
Rear - 18x11.5J ET20
4" Lips with 255/35/18 Tyres

You've got some room to play since the offsets are fairly mild so depending on if you like more meat or a stretched and slammed look?? If it were me, I like grip with a mild drop so I would go 225/40/18 front and 265/35/18 rear. You can def go down in sidewall if you plan to go lower but that's a start.
