I can't believe people are actually telling you to stretch a smaller tire.

Sell the wheels and get the ones with the correct offset. I'm running 18x11 with a 295/35/18 and I don't have rubbing issues whatsoever on the STOCK fender.

That's so close to fitting. Just keep them. They look really nice. Since they're CCW's, I'm sure you're going for performance, so pull the fender instead of getting smaller tires.

Hi, what's your offset?

Any DIY on this? I ask around body shops, they cant do this.

Yes, I believe it's +32. Maybe I calculate it wrong? 6.75-5.50 =1.25" which is 32mm?

Definitely go with the CCW Classics, whether it's this set or two different ones. I'd say go with what LexusFTW said, Do the 18x11s, but with the right offset. Amazing looking wheels though.

PLEASE don't stretch a 255 over that wheel- i swear that is the most retarded auto trend I've seen. I'd recommend some fender flares if you want to make those work! FYI I'm running 315s on a stock body supra but my offsets are less agressive. Those would fit well with a wb/flared supra so maybe sell them on sf and pick up a set with a less agressive offset. I seem to remember seeing a stock bodied SC with cut inner fenders running 295s on ccw classics

Where abouts in tx are you. If you end up selling them are you just going to sell the rears or all 4?
