Newbie question - Sc300 with TT brakes
What is the lowest offset possible for fronts in 19x8.5 with tein coilover drop with minimal wheel gap in order to not rub and to clear TT brakes?
What is lowest offset possible for rears in 19x9.5 with tein coilover drop with minimal wheel gap in order to not rub and to clear TT brakes?
Thinking about going 245/35/19 in the fronts and 275/30/19 in the backs.
I've done a lot of searching around on the forums, so any additional help would be very appreciated.
Thanks!

ps. those of you with 19's, any problems with bending rims due to the heavy weight of the car? my cousin is trying to convince me to go with 18's for this reason, but i'm more partial to bigger rims.

there is no issue with 19" wheels and our HEAVY cars... hell, they are only 3600 lbs... thats not heavy... heavi-er than some other performance cars, but by no means heavy...
Fronts - high disk doesn't have anything to do with offset - it's the area behind the spokes that matters moreso than the offset...
rears - +35 is a good offset, as thats what I run... I had to roll the fenders to get them to work...

thanks for the replies guys! it's really helping me figure this out. =)
okay, so i'm understanding "high disk" better now after reading around. my next question is, what is the minimum offset in "low disk" wheels in order to accomodate supra-tt brakes on my sc300?
