have you tried to pick up a set of those wheels with tires. it is hernia-inducing experience

here is a picture of my car on p45r as a reference

wheels: 18x9.5+35 all around
tires: 255/35/18 all around

the car is lowered a lot.

this is how low it is for reference:


front:


angle:


front wheel flushness:


rear wheel "flushness":


both front and rear needed a roll for it to fit.

this is a set of 18x10+22 all around with 255/35/18 all around

rear:


front:


rear clearance with no rub. i used the old japanese cigarette fender rolling technique lol


angle view:


anything in the 9-10" width will fit fine with a roll even in 20's offsets.

werd. if you cant afford wheels you want dont get something cheap because you can get it for cheap. i would honestly rather drive on a nice set of stock set of supra tt wheels and be lowered.

alright i finally picked a size/set i might be comfortable getting.

FRONT: 19x9.5
+23/+24 offset
235/245 tires

REAR: 19x11
+20/+22 offset
255/265 tires


ROTA P45R sport bronze on dpw SC300 fenders rolled.




any suggestions? think it'll still rub? clock to clock? let me know, if all is well im going to make the order within today or tomorrow..... but would like some input before i make the order since its got to be for sure. once the order goes through there no turning back! LOL (sweating)

19x11 w/ offsets in 20's for the rear is cool, if it were me I'd rather go 19x10 or 10.5 in the back w/ a lower offset to get more concave action going on.

It should look pretty good. You may need to roll the fenders, but that's not too hard.
