Default I've searched, please just verify offsets for me before I buy.

Guys,
Very great forum this is my first post. I've been lurking and reading and searching...

I just bought an SC400 that is going to be my project.
I've decided on the wheels I want Luff Gold mesh with the polished lip.

19x8.5 front (available offsets-22,38,45)
19x10.5 rear (available offsets- 22,35,45)

I want the wide flush look but not to the point I need a huge fender pull. I dont mind a little pull in the rear, From reading I think the fronts can go with a +22 just fine but the rears... will they be ok with +22 or should I get the 35 and just get a spacer to fine tune the width with the fender...

Thanks guys..

Are you planning any other extreme setups (stretched tires, neg camber) in addition to the pulled fender? I think +22 would be too much without doing some work in front. You MIGHT be able to get away with +35 in the rear without much more than just fender mods (pulling and rolling/shaving).

I'll let the extreme fit SC guys confirm but you should give more details what your planned uses are for the car. I know you said project but you can have a project daily driver too and there are constraints depending on use (costs/driveability/maintenance/...).

So that's what the +22/+22 would look like. Too far out beyond the fender for me but maybe that's what the OP is looking for. You have to do work though because that is going to rub.

Guys,
Thanks a lot for your help. I think I will go 38, 35 I may order some vertex fenders and pull the rear but thats in the future... I still am not TOTALLY sure how I want the car to sit. It will be really low as this is only a fun day car. MAYBE some auto X for fun and some track days. Larry H. MIller just built the biggest motorsports track in the country out here so I need to stock up!! I already have the bikes under control but no car for the track.
