Need rim offset help ?
Decided on my rim choice finally xD
going with konig ssm now my question is what offset will look best?
18x10 15mm all around
18x9 50 mm all around
18x8 35mm all around?
im trying to understand offset but im confused the 15mm will have a deeper dish correct ? What would look better and i believe i would need to roll fenders for the 15mm and i would be ok with the 35mm right?
i believe the stock sc offest is 50 so lowering to 35 would it have a nice deep dish?
All answeres apreciated.
i understand most of it like negative and positive mounting point etc but wich one will look best?
for example wich one will stick out more the 18x8 or the 18x9 because of the offset? I want something deep dish but no fender mods

I don't know if you're running any kind of big brake upgrade but I speak from personal experience when I say that the 18x9 +50 will not clear Supra brakes in the front. The calipers come into contact with the backside of the spokes. By the time you add enough spacer to clear, your tires are outside of your fenders. I'm not a stance guy so I wasn't going to run the negative camber required to get the wheels inside the fenders. They clear Supra rear brakes though.
For your front tires, an 18x10 +15 will place the outer edge of the wheel 2.38" further out than an OEM Supra 17x8 +50 front wheel.

I know from personal experience the Wheel and Fitment "sticky" is daunting and requires a lot of research because it is so massive, that is still the best place to assess all of the options. There are a few very experienced members in there that will be brutally honest with your choices and what modifications may be needed .......
