Heres an ugly angle shot so you can see my wheel offset

Anyone able to photochop a reasonable drop for me?

I might be getting a pair of the same wheels in 18x10 +45 offset soon, which I can put on the rears. Ill move the current rears (18x9 +45) to the front.

Would the wheels still look tucked in/ sunken?

Nice Soarer... love the rear wiper and the volks. If you want them to sit more flush with the wheel well, run a set of spacers.

Really, all the ones Iv seen have been dumped extra low with aggressive offsets.

Nice Soarer!

Once you get the other set of rims with the staggered setup, throw on some spacers and you will be set. Just be sure that you lower it first so you know how far out you will actually be able to get them.

Well at the moment, they are 18x8 up front, and 18x9 rear with +45 offset.
It actually is lowered on espelir springs at the moment; I dont know why it's still so high - at least I don't have to worry about speed humps

Might be getting some coilovers too soon. At the moment they are sitting on a supra, and its 100mm from the ground. How much lower will my car be?
