I found another wheel and chose the following available specs.

19x8.5 +25
19x9.5 +25 might add a 5mm

245/40/19 F
265/35/19 R

What do you guys think? Any suggestions?

 

^, you may want to consider dropping down to a 35 series in the front and 30 series in the rear. Those you have listed are a bit tall compared to the factory diameter. Your speedometer will thank you for that.

Will this require a pull? I'm only interested in a roll since I'll have a 1-1.5 drop. Thanks schema

 

I think you'll be okay with just a roll with just a slight drop. 1 - 1.5" I'm picturing a ~finger gap?

The fronts will rub occasionally on hard turns and bumps. As for the rears, I think you'll be fine with a roll on the 25; 20 offset, not so sure.

 

I think I know the answer but wanted to double check with the experts to run 18x10 up front with a 255 series tire what offset should I run. Was thinking +3X??, I have a 5mm spacer on there from some previous wheels. I'm concerned about the inside being close to shock etc. Front fenders are rolled.

 

^, I'm currently on 18 x 10 et 44 with 285's, no issues clearing Flex coilovers. Wheel and tire is perfectly flush with fender lowered to about a finger gap.

 

Wow that gives me more options....are you running the 17 rear 18 front CCW combo? I will look up your pics.

 

Yes sir, it does rub occasionally when going into turns aggressively and hard bumps.

These are the most recent.

Thanks for link and info.

 

18x9 +35, will that be kinda flush in the front or not really?

 

^ no it wont be, you will be about where the lip starts on the fender on the inside.

 

You need to consider the height of your car when calculating how flush a set of wheels will be. The lower the ride height, the more natural camber; therefore, the wheel will appear less flush.

I'd say if you have roughly a finger and a half gap from fender to tire (245/40's) you'll be pretty close. Nothing a thin spacer couldn't fix down the road.

 

The car will be sitting right on the tire, no fender gap. I guess if I needed a 10mm spacer finish the job right? because I doubt I can fit a 18x10.5 +25 in the front, which is what will be in the rear...

 

My 18x10.5+19 with a 235/40 fit in my front perfectly with no issues, only rolled fender and camber is only -1.4

 

I have this configuration in my SC 400 (1996):

Front: 19x8,5 tyre 245/35 ET +40
Rear: 19x8,5 tyre 245 /35 ET +40
No fenders modyfication
