Default lowest wheel offset

i was thinking of the GRAM LIGHTS 57S PRO - Titanium Finish for dwp sc300 in 18x10r and 18x9f. my question is what would be the lowest offset i could go in the rear to get a nice deep staggerd look with out spacers also for the front as well

negative offset all around, do it. It'll give you a nice big lip.

18x9, I would say about +25mm, with a 215/40 or a 225/40.

18x10 +15mm, with a 235/40

The fronts will be fine but the back will rub. I have 18x9.5 +20 with 235/40 and I had to roll my quarters.

I that case, the fronts will rub, too. I didnt know we were talking about unmodified fenders.

why dont you try not going so aggressive on the offsets and using real tires.
if you're talking about 9" and 10" wheels and talking about tire widths the same as a stock sc300, then my suggestion would be to stick with your stock wheels

well why don't you take a look between your fender/quarter panel, and your wheel/tire, and measure the distance between the two, and subtract that value from your current wheel's offsets, and you'll know roughly what offsets you can run. TADAAAAA

i just spaced out my front wheels another 8mm so technically my front wheel setup is 19x10 +12

and for the back if you wanna do 10 wide i would do +10. or maybe do 11 wide +15 or 20

With rolled fenders, I'm running G35 Coupe 18x8 +30 up front with a 25mm spacer, so 18x8 +5 fits up front.
