Just curious what offsets you guys are running or what offsets will fit. I'm ok with rolling the fenders or even pulling them if necessary. If you have some pics tha'd be great too. I'm trying to decide what offsets to buy on my new wheels. They will probably be something like 18x10.5 and 18x9.5 (but we'll see). Thanks!

I was asking specifically for sc300/400 owners

i have 3 sets of wheels..... the Supra TT wheels ( have toyo's T1S's) are 17X8 and 17X9.5....the others are by Blizzaks (winter set) which are stock 16's and on GS 300 rims...the others are the old OEM 10 spoke they have the potenza's on them..maybe ill grab some racing hart CX's or CR's..in 18 or 19's....most wheels bigger than 17's have offsets that range from 8" front to 9.5", 10", or even 10.5 in the rear...i hope that helps....oh and search the gallery there are tons of pics from 15" to 20" aftermarket rims...

Width and offset are 2 diffrent things. What I'm kinda looking for is to run a wheel with the correct offset to sit flush with the fender (even maybe sticking out a little) and run som neg. camber and stretch a tire a bit to fit properly. I do not want to run spacers because you will be able to get a larger lip with a wheel that has the correct offset vs. a wheel with a +45 offset and a 25mm spacer. And wheels with the correct offset just look better, imo anyways. I'm not really looking for pics of wheels to see which ones i like just looking to see which offsets with what width's sit flush.

Thanks!

Thanks! You have a couple pics of your car? Maybe a close up of the wheel/fender fitment.
Thanks,

Thanks for the pic! I'm still trying to decide on an offset for my car. It'll probably be somewhere around +20ish in the front on a 9" wheel. We'll see.

Anyone else?

I love a nice set of wheels. As far as wheels go, its easy to find a nice set of wheels that fit. But finding a nice set of wheels that you like, that look good and might not fit due to offset or size... then fitting them to your car... now that is a challenge I enjoy. I believe once you' ve found the right set of wheels, you don't make the wheels fit the car, you make the car fit the wheels. Some people think its a bit extreme, but this is what I like to do.

Well I Haven't finished with the the front yet, but this is what I am running in the rear:
18in. 10J (+10offset) with 25mm spacer. Had to pound out the rear fender a bit.
Also tire size is crucial to my fitment. In the rear I'm using 235/40-18 Falken Ziex's and this just barely clears, but it sits at the edge of the tire and rim.
I'll try to take a few more pics if the weather breaks here, theres been lots of rain lately.

drnkcarlos - Thanks for the post. I also e-mailed you awhile ago, dunno if you got it or not. Anyways, thats a little more like what I'm looking for. I don't mind rolling/pulling the fenders a bit to get the offset/look i want. Could you take some pics of the whole car and where u banged out the fender?
Thanks,
-Chris

As fate would have it... the sun has come out...
here is a side pic so you can get an idea of how the car looks.
the front is a 18in. 9J (offset is about +20, still haven't confirmed the exact offset yet... still not finished getting the front completely fitted either.) Can't go much lower in the front due to the frontpipe hitting, it still hits but not as much. Tire size in the front is 225/40-18 could (probably could run a 235/40-18 with little to no problems, but after I push the fronts out I don't know if it would fit.) Inner wheel wells had to be removed. Front fenders haven't been rolled/pounded out yet. Also found out after racing it for the first time that the wiring harness SHOULD (read: needs to) be relocated through the engine bay and not through the wheel well. Just some things I learned the hard way. Anyways if you have any questions feel free to holler at me.

Thanks thats exactaly what I was looking for... I apperciate all the help. Now I just need to locate some wheels...lol You got it easy in that department (hehe) In the U.S. wheels with good offsets are few and far between. Thanks for your help.

JZZ30TT

So no one else is running any decent offset wheels?

Well just got these Friday night... these are my new rear race wheels.
18in. Works Mesh (don't know what type) 10J +7 off... with the 25mm spacers, it fits but rubs abit more than my current ones do, Guess I will have to pound the rears out alittle more. Don't have any pics of them on the car yet but these are them.
