Hey guys I am planning to get a set of new wheels but I can't decide on tire sizes.

I'm going with 18x8.5 +30 in the front and 18x10 +25 in the rear. What tire size should I go with that gives me the most aggressive look without any fender mods? I'm lowered on Tein Basic and do plan on getting lower. I wouldn't mind a mild stretch but preferably not crazy stretch

Thanks in advance!

Fenders already rolled. Tight fit? Rubbing in front? Tire recommendations?

In Aristo and Supra they look flush. What about Soarer?

Sorry my english sucks...
I have scanned this thread for hours and I had to change plan: Rota GTR-D 18x9.5 +25 (+maybe 5mm spacer) front, 18x9.5 +12 rear.

This is because i'm looking for perfect fitment, decent practicality, good drivebility, cheap tires, milt camper, no rubbing in any situation (even drifting) and pretty low stance.

What size of tires do you guys recommend? I'd say 225/40 front and 235/40 rear.

My other wheel option were this Varrstoen https://www.clublexus.com/forums/sc-...hotoshoot.html , and my more aggressive Rota wheel specs were almost the same, but when I saw how low he had to go to be flush...not for me. No offense "outlaw0209", it's a perfect fitment .

Corvette C6 rims. 18x8.5, +56 offset and 19x10, +79 offset.

I also needed adapters for 5x114.3 to 5x120 with a 70.2 center bore. All are 25mm.

Tire sizes are 235 40 18 fronts and 285 35 19 rears. I wanna go with 215 35 18 on the front so i can go lower though.

^^^ another thing u should answer is how low u wanna go... b/c that will matter... 225/40 front and 235 / 40 should be good for a fair drop // possibly needing rolling fenders and maybe pull depending on how low u want it at..

I want an aggressive stance so it will go pretty loaw. 225/40 in the front sounds good, but 235 on a 10.5 is some massive stretch. I dont want that.. Fenders will be rolled and pulled if necessary.

Look up SH_JZZ30, he's running same wheel width/offsets with 245 front and 275 rear. Tucking tire with -3 camber all around. Rolled fenders and slight pull is necessary.

if u find 235/40 on 10.5 to be too much of a stretch than maybe 245/40... also depends on use .. if lot of track / drift then have to take that into consideration...

I've had 275/35's on 10.5's with a 25 offset lowered to no finger gap. Natural camber on aggressively cut fenders. With a 22 offset, I think you could get away with a 255 maybe even a 265, depending on your drop of course.

^^^ agreed, id say if ur willing to shave ur fenders and maybe do a very very slight pull, u can run 265s just fine

^^^ I doubt anything smaller than 15" will clear stock SC calipers. On top of that it won't look right.
