Ok, so i read through the wheel and tire fitment guide thread and basically got lost in all the different figures that were being posted. I've decided to just ask my specific question and see if i could just get the answer and go on about my business

'92 SC300
I'm looking to get a set of wheels from wheelsnext and this is the info i have......

18x8 front +40
18x9 rear +40

I want these to fit as flush as possible without modifying anything. I'll also be doing Espilar ASD springs with Tokico Blues. So is the +40 offset going to give me the look i'm going for?

As for the tires, i used an online tire size calculator to compare sizes with the factory 215/60R15 thats on the car now. Wheelsnext recommended 245/40R18 on the front and 275/35R18 on the rear. The calculations showed these sizes to give an speedometer reading of about 3 mph less than the actual speed. Is this the size you would go with and just modify your driving habits to adjust for the 3mph difference or would you recommend a different size?

Thanks in advance for the help

They're not exactly going to be flush. The Espelir springs will drop it too much for that offset. Here's a pic of my old car with Espelirs and wheels with +38mm offsets (18x8.5").

also meant to ask if there will be any alignment issues with those Espilar springs??

I didn't have many problems for alignment except for the camber since it was sitting at that height, HOWEVER the tyres lasted about a year worth of daily driving, a lot of it long distance.

I believe that i've read that there is a camber kit for the front but not one made for the rear, is this correct? If so, what is the best route to go with suspension? Ultimately i'd like to go with the most aggressive height possible and still be able to get all 4 corners aligned without a camber kit. I'm definitely doing Tokico Blues, so i guess my question relates to the springs only.

Some who have used Espelir needed a camber kit. Others like myself did not. It depends on the rim and the tire size about as much as it does on teh springs. Daizen makes a Camber Kit for the front and rear of our car, check www.tmengineering.net for prices on that, I think its around 200 for all 4 corners. But, I am dropped on Espelir + Tokico with 17x8 and 17x9 and I don't have too much negative camber. It's visible yes, but barely out of spec so I am not worried. Others who have the setup have HAD to get a camber kit.

edited the link...sorry for that confusion

your wheels will defiitely not be flush when dropped on espelir springs.

The link is www.tmengineering.net, Todd is the man...

cool.....thanks for the help. I found the Daizen camber correction kit on the site for $129 for each. Is that what i should be looking at?? Still no input from anyone on wheel and tire sizes as well as suspension options??
