Default New guy needs help about fitment.

I want to get some really nice deep dish 18's for my car, to go for a more "drift car" look since thats what iam going to do with the car eventually. What size and offset would look and fit great with fender rolling ( minor ).


Would this size work, 18x9.5 +15 offset?


18×9.5 +20 offset. Would this work?


19 x 10 +22 offset


And also, for them to work WITH fender rolling, what tire size would i have to run?

Thanks for all your help guys, i searched and read a lot, but i wanna know for sure and also which rim looks best ( My car is a 01 GS300 L-tuned edition Black in color )

Thanks!

-Chris

Do the suspension first. Its almost impossible to know how to design a wheel fitment setup for u beyond the typical "I got new rims" look.

- what suspension are you going with? Asking because sum go lower than others.

- how much camber are you willing to run?

- are you rolling the fenders 'flat'? slight pull?

- stretching the tires? Mild or aggressive?

lots of variables when looking for an aggressive rim fitment.

Find rims u like and make them fit

I totally agree with Emerald, Make them fit!

I'm running 18x10.5 +18 CE28Ns with 235/40/18 tires mad stretched tires for my rear of my S14 240sx with roll and no pull with 3 degrees of camber.

Make them fit! :P

This is just me, but... its just because the thought of drifting with 19s or 20s... yeah, no.

18x9.5 w/ 0 offset front, 18x10.5 w/ 0 offset rear.

9.5j +0 in front will take some extensive rolling and pulling. 10.5j +0 in rear will need rears to be cut and pulled. Both will need a lot of camber.

and search pls.
