Anyone here running 18" Work Meister?
What is the highest ET 10.5" wheel that can be fitted on the rear with 275-285 wide tyres?

Buy new wheels. Those aren't even the right bolt pattern.

18x10.5 +37 O Disk should fit those size tires in the rear with a roll/shave. Next size down is 18x10.5+24 which would require a little bit of camber and stretching a 255.

Any pictures of Meisters fitted in a similar spec?

I’m assuming the next 18x10.5 +49 O-disk will cause all sorts of inner rubbing?

I don’t want to do heavy guard mods, just a simple roll. My other options are 18x10 +43 O-disk for a beefier tyre fitment which is what I’m after. Or 18x10.5 +41 A-disk...

I used to have SSR SP1’s with an 18x10.5 +30 offset with 275/35/18 tires with shaved fenders in the rear without any issue. My car wasn’t extremely low or anything.

I would say a higher offset in the upper 30’s or 40’s might work but you may need to roll the fenders.

I don't have any pictures of meisters in that spec, but 18x10.5 +37 O disk is the spec I'll be ordering when its time for me to order meisters.

10.5 +49 o disk will fit with clearance inside. I think you could get away with no fender mods depending on tire size and ride height.

*Edit*

My wheels in this photo are:
F: 18x9.5+27 245/40/18
R: 18x10.5+36 275/35/18

That looks pretty close to how my SC used to look. Meisters would look great on your car.

Just picked up a '97 SC300 with 15 year old tires on it. Need some guidance on wheel/tire options.

Still looking at wheels but based on what I gathered from this thread, can you guys confirm this is good for stock height:

18x8-8.5" with +45 down to +35mm offset
245/40/18 for square setup

Is this good enough to get the wheels more flush with the fenders ? What would be a good tire size if I do staggered ? Will be on stock heigh for some time so I don't want anything too agressive.

CL Member Name: Rozay
Rim Brand and Type: Maserati Quattrocento Wheels
Rim Size f/r: 19x8.5/19x10.5
Rim Offset f/r: +52/+50 (Spacers Needed)
Tire Size f/r: 225/40/19? 245/40/19? (Should I go wider?)
Suspension Setup: Bc Coils 12k front 10k rear
Comment On Ride: Trying to get an idea on what I should do about the offset. I got 20/25mm spacers to make it +27/+30 but im not sure.
Fender Modifications: Probably haha
Any other comments: Should I put the ARP studs on the spacer or on the hub?


Thanks In Advanced For Any Help

These aren’t 18’s but I’m running 19x10.5 +23 O disk work miesters with 275/35. Fenders are rolled with a pull that’s not too aggressive.


Sorry I can’t find a rear view

I know I may come off repetitive, but I recently bought 18x8 +45 offset, squared setup of work varianza t1s and the seller said they were low disk, will it clear my OEM front calipers for a 1999 Lexus SC300? Will I need spacers, if so, any recommendations and what size? Thanks for your feedback in advance!

The wheels will fit. However, you may opt for spacers simply to make them look more flush. At stock height, a 15mm spacer should make the wheels look more flush.
