Find these?
If you are looking for rear overfenders there are 2 companies that make them.
BN Sports Japan
BN Sports USA
And
Missile K&M
Extremely hard to source either of them and overly expensive to ship here from Japan. They are both 50mm
As far as front fenders, there are 3 you can get. Vertex and Origin which look the same. There is also D-Max which has 2 vents instead of one large one.
D-MAX 25mm front fenders
The set posted are mine and are one on 2 sets in the US. Extremely rare and hard to source.

All offset & tire experts chime in. Going to roll my fenders this weekend.
So it seems I might be going with Enkei RPF1's
Rear 17x10 +18 with 255/45/17
Front 17x9.5 +18 with 235/45/17
Will I have any rubbing or clearing issues? I don't plan to slam it, but look similar to this set up below. He's running the same wheels and offset, but 245's in the rear which might actually be instead what I'd go with instead of 255's. I'm scared if I go with 255's I'll have to camber them in slightly since with 245 they basically align.

Should I go for these 5 dual spoke Hyundai Genesis 18 inch rims or the old 9 spoke Lexus IS 17 inch rims? Are either going to have fitment issues? Both are around 400$ for 4 rims. Thanks so much.

I'm sure this has been covered but I was unable to find a clear answer. I'm looking to get a set of work cr2p 18x11.5 for my rear. I'm trying to find out what the most aggressive offset I can go with the fenders cut and rolled in the rear. I want to run either 305/35/18 or 315/30/18. I hear that the "supra offset" works but what is this exactly for the 11.5 in the rear?
Thanks

It basically comes down to how low do you want your car to be, how stiff your coilovers are, and what tire model you run. I would guess for a 305 on a 11.5 you'll want an offset in the +49 to +55 range. You'll have to be on coilovers (spring/shock combos are generally larger and air suspension needs a lot more clearance). There will be some hammering involved to clear the larger tire on the inside and above the tire. You'll also have to run a minimal amount of camber (for suspension clearance).
A 315 would be even harder to fit without pulling the rear fenders.

I don't have any experience with running a tire that large, but I've swapped rims, tires, and suspension on my car enough times to have an idea for clearance issues.

I'm currently on stance coils. I plan on running toyo r888's. I'll track the car and do some highway rolls also. My current set up is 18x10.5 +30. I run 285x30 without an issue. I'll post a pic later of the fitment. If I can get the close to this with the 11.5 I don't think I should have an issue. An associate of mine has the ccw supra offset with runs the same size in the rear with the 315x30 on the 18x11.5. They just don't release the offsets so I was trying to gauge what to run. I think you're right it'll have to be in the low 50's to get where I want.
To get the same fitment as your 18x10.5 you would need a 11.5 +43. The outer lip will be the same distance from the fender, so hopefully that will be enough to compensate for the added thickness of a 315. A 315 on a 11.5 will bulge more than a 285 on a 10.5.
