i would probably go wider with those offsets. just my 2 cents. cuz they most likely wont be flush.

I agree... 9.5 rear minimum... 9" is too narrow to get a 275 on and look proper, and a 275 is what it will take to make a +35 offset wheel look close to flush...

i was also looking at some g games baracuda wheels but im not sure if the off set will work and what tire size to run, possible a little stretch(cause i like the look) but i do have a question do you have to run alota negative camber to run stretched tires, oh and heres what the rims can come in:
front 19x9.5 with either 22 or 40offset i think i can get 25 for the front possibly or its a type-o
rear 19x10.5 with either 22 or 40offset
thanks

so from the reading of page after page after page i think the best setup would be 19x9.5 25mm offset front and 19x10.5 22mm offset rear, with fender rolling??all around

basically, but also depends on width of wheel. 0 offset wouldnt be completely flush.

A 0 offset would stick out from the guards. Offset is measured from the centre of the rim and positive offset means the rim will be sunken ie more positive offset will have the rim sitting further inwards.

Less positive offset will have the rim sticking further out moving towards 0 offset meaning the hub is centred in the rim then going to negative offset where the hub of the rim is further to the inside of the rim meaning effectively the rim sticks further out.

Those rims sizes and offsets you list will give you a pretty aggressive setup and should look good.

since my wheel is messed up i ordered 2 new wheels 18x9.5 +20 is that going to be pretty flush? i have same wheels with +35 and it sticks in like 2 cm so does that mean the new wheels will come out 1.5 cm (15mm?)

Default Does Any One Know?

What is the widest rim and tire you can fit on the SC with stock suspension, with a coilover kit and rolling the lip??.... And what offset would you need to use??

I just bought the rims front 8.5" and rear 9.5". I have the front tires 245/35/19 and the rear tires size 275/30/19. Since the rear tires look lower than the front, I used the website http://www.1010tires.com/TireSizeCalculator.asp to calculate the height and the 275/30/19 is about 6mm lower than 245/35/19. If I run 285/30/19, then they'll be an even height. I made another mistake in tire sizing. So keep this in mind if you tend to select the tires.

how do these fit:

18x8 +38 front
18x9 +24 rear

what size tires would you guys recommend? will it look weird/uneven because the fronts are sunk and the rears are flush? i know i'll need to roll the rears, the fronts i don't want to roll so 235 tires will do or can i do 245 without need for rolling? the rears i plan on doing 265 or 255 mild stretch?

I'm running 18x9 +35 with 245/45's all around, the front should be fine if not a touch "sunken". My rears touch just barely over large bumps, etc. With less offset and more tire, you're going to need to roll the rear fenders pretty good. With less offset and a 265 tire you'd need to create 21 mm of additional clearance.
