Exclamation Question About Fitment and Tire Sizing

Hello all,

I recently just bought a set of Work VS-XX Front: 18x9 +34 and Rear: 18x10 +20 and they came with tire sizes of 225/40/18 and 235/40/18. I also just bought Toyota Supra Turbo brakes. The site I bought the wheels did say Big Caliper Compatible. Just in case I run into some issues with caliper clearance, what size spacers should I buy (I don't really want to run them, but if it's a must, I will do so). Also, I just recently got all 4 of my fenders rolled, the car is not lowered yet, but soon on Tein Flex Z. I want to run a little bigger tire set up because I do not like the stretched tire look and I am concerned about the use of stretched tires for daily driving, what size does everyone recommend?

P.S. This is for daily driving, no track as of yet. I am not going to stance or slam the ***** out of the car, I just want to minimalize the wheel gap to maybe 1 finger


TL;DR:
1) Work VS-XX - F: 18x9+34 with 225/40/18; R: 18x10+20 with 235/40/18, what spacer size does everyone recommend so my wheels do not fall off and to make sure I clear the Supra Turbo Brakes?
2) I want to run a bigger tire size because I do not like the stretched look and I am concerned about the stretched tires for daily driving, what tire size does everyone recommend?

Thanks in advance.

Those wheels should clear the Supra TT calipers easily.

I have 245 front and 275 rear (on 17s) and am very happy with the combination. That's on TT wheels, which are just a tad narrower than your setup. I don't think they'll look stretched on yours. Just make sure you run the options through the various tire size calculators to stay close to stock diameter (for speedo calibration and possibly ABS). Many of the recommendations you'll see on here don't take that into account.

Thank you for your reply, I might look into spacers, but not sure what size as of right now!

Why bother? It's 99% likely you won't need them for caliper clearance. Unless you want the wheels pushed further out, in which case you might as well wait till they're mounted to see how much spacer it'll take for the look you want.

The rear wheel offset seems very low at +20….. The sticky for wheel fitment may be good to research and pose a question there as that group are well schooled …

Agree with above, spacers completely not necessary with those wheels on the front for caliper clearance, unless you just want them out there. On the rear, the 10" wheel will put you close to the fender with that offset but I am thinking it will clear ok. As far as rear brake caliper, I don't see an issue at all there.

I am just nervous that it will not clear the supra brakes and I rolled my fenders.
