how do you like your current setup?

i'm sorry but i've been searching but I'm noob at this but will any of these fit?
I have a 92 SC400 with stock suspension. Will I also need to roll my fenders?

All the offset is +35

18 x 7.5(Front) +18x8.5(Rear)
225/40/18(Front) + 255/35/18(Rear)
--------------------------
18 x 7.5(Front) +18x9.5(Rear)
225/40/18(Front) + 265/35/18(Rear)
---------------------------
18 x 8.5(Front) +18x9.5(Rear)
225/40/18(Front) + 265/35/18(Rear)

Thanks

one note - that 265/35-18 on 9.5" +35 will be very close to the fender, might need a touch of a rolled fender is all...

I feel you there, I'll probably be getting rid of my 19's and go with wider 18's with less aggresive offsets. Anyway back on topic

Not with those tires, that setup will stick out more than mine.

I want to run 19x9.5 front and 19x11 rear with flush fitment and without having to stretch lol. I'm thinking low 40's in the rear and mid 30's in the front. What do the experts think.

you definatly need camber if not stretching, i think
19x9.5 et+5~10
19x11 et+30 ****maybe need coilovers for this
