Default QUICK question

i am about to buy my rims and i had a few size options.

18x9.75 +20

and

18x8.75 +20

the smaller width rim isn’t going to be as flush, correct? about how flush do you think the 8.75 +20 will be on the 400?

The fronts should fit fine the rear might need a fender roll depending on how low your car sits. I have 18x8.5 +20 and 18x9.5 +20. tires 225-40-18 and 245-40-18. The rear rubs slightly over bumps and I am rising on stock supra suspension.

Check out the wheel thread thats stickied.. and you won't be flushed or close you gotta get some spacers +10 or +15 all around.
